XAMLCast – Interview with Paul Betts about ReactiveXaml 29/10/10
Hey everyone!

[Para os ouvintes brasileiros/portugueses: a entrevista foi feita em inglês mas o vídeo também foi legendado em português! Aproveite!]
Following on our special series of interviews, Roberto interviewed Paul Betts, a Software Development Engineer in the Windows team and creator of ReactiveXaml. In a video special, he talked about Reactive programming and how to apply it to WPF and Silverlight through RxXaml. An awesome introduction to a new paradigm on WPF/SL development!

New article: Windows Phone 7 Turnstile Control for Silverlight 12/10/10
I’ve just released my third article on CodeProject: recreating the Windows Phone 7 Turnstile Effect on Silverlight (for desktop and Phone). This article explains how to recreate the 3D effect we’ve seen so many times in the Windows Phone 7 videos (or for some lucky ones, on the devices themselves). Then, it shows how to refactor the effect into a reusable control that you can apply to any layout.
Here’s the link:
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/windows-phone-7/WP7Turnstile.aspx
You can see some demos of the effect at http://bit.ly/wptiles and http://bit.ly/wptiles3c .
If you like this article, please sign in and vote for this article (on the right corner, “Rate this article”), and please leave your comments and suggestions.
All the source code is also being released in CodePlex under the MS-PL licence, to facilitate future improvements and distribution. The project page is at http://turnstile.codeplex.com/.
If you like this kind of article, I also recommend my other articles on CodeProject:
- Creating a 3D book-shaped application with speech and ink using WPF 3.5
- Multi-touch development with WPF – A multi-touch RSS reader
Thanks!
