CodeProject In Part 1, we covered the following: Creating the application* Connecting the View and the View-Model* Adding an additional View or PagePart 2 we'll see how to add a button on the first page to navigate to the second page which will cover navigation and messaging to complete the application and although basic, will give a rather decent start to create and publish your first Rubber Ducky application. If you need the code, you can get it here. Let’s start by opening MainPage.xaml.  You should see the following image here: Add a button by dragging it on to the design surface or adding the following code, it doesn’t matter where, just somewhere within the content...

owpug.tattoocoder.comWow what a great start to the new group in Orlando! First, let me start by thanking Voxeo  (@voxeo) for hosting the event.  What a great room, theater seating, barista on staff, great office space...very tech!  They do offer co-lo office space so hit them up if you are a startup and you need some space.  Almost every wall in this place is a whiteboard. Those chairs were awesome!Attendees included Windows Phone MVPs, authors, ComponentOne, Windows Phone Marketplace champs, newbies and even non Windows Phone devs; exactly what I was looking for when starting this group. A really exciting group to engage in and the conversation and interaction was more...

Battery life is great and I use the hell out of my phone. Email , Twitter, News, Checking In, Photos and browsing constantly while running around with the family doing our very filled life things. Couple of observations I wanted to point out.  I had the strangest thing happen to me while walking around the store...it locked up. Now, before anyone starts with "Well guess your new fancy phone isn't so fancy (as my daughter would...

Nokia Lumia 900The newest Windows Phone 7 device has arrived and I have to say I can't put it down! No seriously I can't! First, because ever since I told my 4 yr old that "...on Daddy's new phone you can play XBOX Live" (he almost exploded) he has been as anxious as I have to get it in. Secondly,it just plain beautiful. The OS, weight, size and speed of it all, what a home run. Now, let me first say that I'm not going to post step by step pictures of the unboxing as there have been and will be more shots of this gem online and although a few more pictures won't degrade the quality of what...
