So just saw this: Channel 9 Inside Windows phone

pretty nice little break down and I am sure it will get better as we get closer to launch.  I am playing with XNA and windows phone atm.  I am working through an RPG tutorial to see how things convert.  I am hoping to give a little rpg / diablo 2 mash up when the phone comes out.  We shall see if it is worth the development time.  Though the learning will probably be worth it no matter what.

Couple changes that I needed to do.  One was to not limit it to 20 entries on the digg call.  The other was just to change the digg call.  There is no need to log in so a simple query is all you need such as this:

Enjoy!

So there is an issue that there is no longer a watermarked textbox.  However you can find some code for it here:

Watermark Textbox Control

Starting up with Silverlight 4 since it is going to be the basis for much of Microsofts code base going forward.  Both as a flash competitor and as a windows 7 phone base.

Started off with this breakdown from Scott Gu's blog: http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/10/14/silverlight-2-released.aspx

Hopefully will upload some good code snippets in the coming months.

Switch hosts again so I can just be .net and all .net.  We shall see how it goes.
