More Star Action

So… I spent some more time playing with the CC Ball Action effect to create a logo reveal. I think there is a lot of possibilities with this plug-in and to simplify one step, we even created a quick script that offsets the layers.  In this example I used the Card Wipe filter to animate the logo on after the Ball Action animation.

View/ViewModel Association – Convention and Configuration-based Approaches

Some time back, I blogged about different options to hook up a view to its view model when following the ViewModel (aka MVVM) pattern. There are multiple approaches in use out there. I raised the possibility of a convention-based approach in addition to existing ones like the ViewModelLocator pattern.

Experimental Dispersion

So I spent a few hours today experimenting with various effects and the idea of mixing  Jolly-Ranchers with water to create a delicious fruit drink when I came across an interesting technique using CC Ball Action.  This one technique can be used to create many different styles of dispersion and you don’t need any 3rd party plug-ins! I will be talking about this technique in my next tutorial along with the many creative ways it can be used. Stay Tuned!

5 Ways to Express Yourself More Clearly Online

As I explained in my last post, all you need is to take a little care and time over what you say in all those emails, blogs , wikis, forums, IM conversations, status updates and so on — to make sure you’re expressing yourself the way you intended. The web is full of blog posts that say nothing, articles that have no proper ending, and generally disjointed thoughts mashed into chunks we call “content” but would more accurately be described as “filler.” If you’re going to spend your career dealing in text — the currency of most online communication — you might be interested in upping your ability to express yourself, specifically your written communications skills

The Unofficial Nexus One Flash Demos

There were some great polished keynotes at the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona this week. While they did an awesome job showing off Flash Player 10.1 in the mobile browser, I put together a low-budget video showing some of the stuff that wasn’t shown. Enjoy! Lee

Inside Tips to Take Charge of Your Publicity

I’ve approached many business owners in recent months to ask them to be guests on my blog , podcast and radio show. In many of the cases, I convince them to start with an interview for the blog , and if they feel comfortable moving on to the podcast or radio show from there, great, but if not, at least they’ll get the traffic from the article. Mostly, their concerns stem from wanting to control the image that is presented of them and their companies.

One Week to Select an LMS – No Way

When It Comes to Backups Not All Content Is Created Equal

By Rick Wilson In the competitive world of web host marketing one of the common themes that’s become popular is this idea of “Unlimited Hosting”, where you can use Unlimited Bandwidth and Disk Space and never have to pay more than $9.95 a month or $14.95 a month, etc… Depending on what you’re hosting and how important uptime, availability and backups are the “Unlimited Plans” may work for you, but if you’re running an online business if you don’t properly plan out your hosting setup you’re being Penny Wise and Pound Foolish.

Visual Studio 2010 RC first look and Windows Azure Tools

As promised in the previous post, here is a first look on Visual Studio 2010 RC.  i am sure many of you have downloaded the bits already so this is for those who are waiting yet.  VS 2010 RC is an upgrade to the Beta 2 that was shipped last year.  This build has been heavily focussed on implementing community feedback and fixing performance issues reported.  The start up screen looks as below.  A little darker compared to the Beta 2 build.  You can read my earlier post on First look on Beta 2 here I didn’t notice much of changes to the project templates as yet.  But, I did visibly see a great improvement in performance.  Particularly when working with projects / solutions, Beta 2 used to take up a lot of resource which isn’t the case with this RC Build. Couple of quick things that have been well documented and blogged about are that, there is no Express edition for this RC release.  Silverlight 4 development and WCF RIA with Silverlight 4 isn’t supported in this RC build.  Similarly, the RC build doesn’t support the Silverlight Business Application Development although the template is listed.  When you select the template and try creating a project, it fails with “This project type is not supported by the current version” error

WCF RIA Services Preview and the Visual Studio 2010 RC

Warning: This is my experimentation and cannot be taken as a recommendation ! I gave it to my temptation and installed the Visual Studio 2010 RC despite having a lot of upcoming WCF RIA Services talks.  (One is scheduled right tomorrow   and it would be disastrous to try anything fancy) Much has been explained around the non-availability of Silverlight 4 Tools updated version for this RC release and subsequently the inability to work with WCF RIA Services and SL4.  Infact, Tim Heuer has put up a nice FAQ on VS 2010 RC and Silverlight Development However, I went ahead and installed VS 2010 RC and the WCF RIA Services Preview for VS 2010 Beta 2, hoping to get it work at least for catering to ASP.NET Development.  Much to my surprise, it did work! I could just grab the DLLs from C:Program FilesMicrosoft SDKsRIA Servicesv1.0LibrariesServer onto my project reference and grab the System.Web.DomainServices.WebControls.dll file onto my toolbox and then was able to use the DomainDataSource control in the Webform.  Similarly the “Domain Service Class” template was also available as a “Add – New Item” which I could use to generate the middle tier.  I have written a detailed step by step on this in my earlier post However, note that, this only works and doesn’t provide any warranty.  Also, the SL4 Tools don’t work which means, this is not going to help on the Silverlight development front.

Jamie Oliver calls for all-out assault on our ignorance of food

This brand new talk by Jamie Oliver (“The Naked Chef”) at TED 2010 is one I highly recommend you watch. This topic is very dear to my own heart as chronic poor eating habits were a strong contributing factor in my father’s premature death when I was a child
