.Net WPF Links, Sugar no Cream

tagged: .net roundup wpf

Yes, I've now officially achieved "regular weekly" status with my link round-up post!  Today's menu special: WPF, seasoned,  lightly breaded, fried and served with slaw.  Golden, brown, and delicious.

New Nibbles: Blend & WPF - Nibbles are little bite sized tutorials - brainchild of Celso Gomes.  Three new nibbles are up covering Blend and WPF including how to create everyone's favorite effect: reflection.

WPF Window Management and Parenting - If you're an old crusty programmer from the dark ages (read: pre .Net 3.0) you may have noticed MDI is not implemented in WPF.  Brian Noyes tells you why it's missing (it will come in a later version) and what you can do in the mean time if you need WPF and MDI.  If you don't know what MDI is, you probably don't need it ;)

Project SilverLight 1.1 - LiquidBoy aka AdvertBoy aka Jose Fajardo is on a mission to create an iTunes clone in WPF/SliverLight/AJAX.Net - and he's blogging every step of the way.  Currently he has 17 posts that complete a prototype interface.

The Twelve Days of WPF 3D - I think project blogging WPF is fast becoming a meme!  Eric Sink is at post 10 of a 12 day sprint to blog about 3D programming with WPF.  There is some good entry level stuff for those who have never programmed in 3D before. (No, wearing the glasses while typing doesn't count).

Introducing XAML Cruncher 2.0 - With all this WPF going on, wouldn't it be nice to have a simple tool to play with XAML?  Charles Petzold's XAML Cruncher is just that!  Created to support his first WPF book Applications = Code + Markup and updated for his new WPF book 3D Programming for Windows (available Wed July 25th), XAML Cruncher let's you exit XAML files and see the changes real-time.  Perfect for learning XAML before getting involved with heavy tools like Blend.
