There seem to be a lot of these WPF Databinding Tutorials on CodeProject. Some are better than others. This one by Joel Ivory Johnson is well written and gives a very clear and concise overview of the databinding mechanism in WPF.

This is really nifty: Chris Cavanagh experimented a bit and came up with a 3D Web Browser in WPF. Install through ClickOnce or download the source from his blog.

All over town people are talking about Googe Chrome, the new webbrowser from Big G. I was very curious to see whether or not Silverlight 2 would function at all in Chrome. Chrome is based on the Mozilla engine, so perhaps the Firefox version of the Silverlight Plugin would work for it as well. Turns out it does, sorta-kinda:




The sites load, but they act really funky. At first it seems like they're not responsive at all, but when you alt-tab out of Chrome and force a redraw, you'll see whatever interaction you performed appear (see also this blogpost and discussion). There hasn't been any official statement from MS, which is not surprising since Chrome is still deep in Beta (I hope not as perpetual as Gmail, by the way). We'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

Pete Brown has posted a nice demonstration on how to customize the Silverlight install experience. The standard 'Install Microsoft Silverlight' button wasn't enough for him, since

It doesn’t show the user why they would want to install this application.

So it's pretty easy to use <PluginNotInstalledTemplate> tags to include a piece of markup. This part of the page will only be rendered when the plugin's not available. Jack Gao posts a little snippet that shows how to do this if you're not using ASP.NET pages.

Microsoft has created a nice starting point for those of you who want to get started with Silverlight 2, either in Visual Studio 2008 or Blende 2.5 June Preview. First of all, they've set up a central website containing a big set of links to both the necessary tools such as the Silverlight Chainer which is a 80 mb download that contains everything you need to get started with SL 2.0 in Visual Studio.
Most of the other links I've actually mentioned in earlier posts as well; the Scott Guthrie blog is still one of the best places to get good Silverlight information and tutorials. Jesse Liverty also chips in with some high quality tutorials (I hope his and Tim Heuer's book on Silverlight 2 comes out soon!).
