Windows Phone From Scratch #9 – Visual State
When transitioning from one state (e.g., button up) to another (e.g., button pressed)
the user expects and requires visual feedback. Often this is provided with animation: the button appears to descend. Creating this animation is greatly simplified by the Visual State Manager in Silverlight, and thus in Windows Phone 7.
To see this in a simple demonstration, let’s return to the form created in the previous tutorial, Styles, and examine the OK button.

Silverlight –The Future Starts Now
There was quite a bit of concern about announcements and lack of announcements and press reports during PDC. I wrote a short posting on the issue, but nothing says commitment and long, robust and healthy life, like a Scott Guthrie keynote marked by “what’s coming next for Silverlight”

Windows Phone From Scratch #7–Element Binding
This mini-tutorial extends the work done in number 6, adding a slider and a text block
bound to the value of the slider, through element binding – that is, the binding of one element’s value (in this case the TextBlock) to a value in a second element (in this case the slider).
