We live in the age of individuality, in the sense that, whether it's business, personal stuff or anything else in between, we seek and prefer systems that allow us make our own choices; we prefer those over standardized solutions. From customization to user oriented services and products, the center of gravity shifted from the general mass of people to you. We even witnessed this transition. It was a brief but fundamental turn. It's not about what everybody does anymore, it's all about what you want. W... (more)

In talking with a friend about some Windows Phone 7 and Silverlight stuff recently. He was giving me some great feedback about a few things (all of which I’ve passed along). One of the things was what I felt was a common task that might exist in the mobile space but admittedly isn’t as clear if you are just coming to WP7 development. The scenario is that of downloading media files and storing them for later playback. (more)

Last night as I was talking with Danny Diaz about the importants of good programming language documentation. It occurred to me that the level of effort a company puts into its documentation is a direct reflection on how it sees the developer in relation to its products. If there is a lot of thought, love, and detail put into the documentation the company most likely cares very much about the developers experience from cradle to grave. If the documentation is haphazardly put together and no common UIX ... (more)

Dealing with Images with Bad Metadata - Corrupted Color Profiles in WPF - Scott Hanselman

iftekharahmedamit 1053 days, 18 hours, 17 minutes ago

Creating a Twitter client is a really interesting exercise in application development because, amongst many reasons, it's taking input from effectively an infinite number of people and places. Never trust user input, right? Input to your application comes not only in the form of text, but also images. Writing a Twitter client is effectively writing a web browser that only browses one website. Getting a browser stable is hard.

With the Windows Phone, users have the ability to easily change what theme most of their native phone applications are running in: The concept of a theme is a scandalous combination (a dalliance…if you will) of two pieces – background and accent color. I’m going to table discussion of background in this article and focus primarily on the accent color instead. (more)
