mbcrump 119 days, 12 hours, 27 minutes ago

Introduction After I downloaded the Windows Phone 8 SDK, I noticed the first template called “Windows Phone App”. I was thinking that this template was a blank template as the image on the right hand side just shows a title and page name. I would find out very quickly that I was wrong. (more)

mbcrump 390 days, 22 hours, 15 minutes ago

Introduction Through and through I love XAML. I love building and working with SL, WPF, WP7, and Windows 8 XAML Metro Apps. But one thing that I’m aiming for is to have an understanding of other web applications frameworks (MVC in particular). Mainly for two reasons, to become better informed and for my passion of helping customers of Telerik to find suitable web solutions (be it Silverlight, WebForms, MVC, etc). I am not brand new to MVC as I have worked with it before, but I feel that it is time for m... (more)

I have been playing with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview since the day it was released. It is my primary operating system at nights and weekends.
