As helpful as it was, WinRT lacks the ability to supply a string format, although it appears as though WPF still supports it in .NET 4.5. String format is extremely useful, allowing you to provide a format pattern in your Xaml and not have to jump through hoops.
I’ve created a converter to provide [...]
I love Caliburn.Micro. It’s a great library that adds a ton of ease to developing WP7 and WPF application. It has treated me exceptionally well. Today, I found an issue.
A couple of weeks ago, my company hosted a small code camp for, and by, our own developers. The topic was mobile development. We had 3 sessions: Windows Phone 7, Android, and iOS. I gave the talk on Windows Phone 7 development.
A random Twitterizer developer that emailed me was attempting to pull data for multiple users all in background threads, but noticed that his requests started to be rejected by Twitter. I proposed that it was possibly a spam countermeasure by the Twitter API, and that he needed to throttle his requests. He had no idea [...]
Every developer has a list of applications or tools they rely on heavily for development … this is mine.
Last night I was playing around and ended up creating a new project to the small collection of example applications for the Twitterizer library. I ended up working around a complaint that a lot of desktop application developers have about implementing OAuth: PIN-Based authentication.
So, I may have signed up to speak at the Tallahassee Code Camp in October. In fact, that is exactly what I did.
I love Linq and I love a challenge. The place there the two doth meet is a special place.
Today, a co-worker hit me up with a Linq question and I would like to share it.
I’ve been spending some time lately writing test case for the Twitterizer library, my pet project. To ensure that all of the publicly accessible classes are marked as serializable, I whipped up a test case that uses reflection to check any class that inherits from a common interface, but also performs a binary serialization [...]
It’s true. I’ve created my first WordPress plugin. For Twitterizer support, I set up a Campfire chat room. I’ve used them before and they’re pretty great, but I was a little dismayed to see that the guest URL would change if I (or any other admin) disabled and re-enabled guest access for the room. [...]
I’m all over the place.
