.Net Micro Framework v4.2 RTW'sOct 14, 2011 at 6:15 AM 1
[Special edition post] I wanted to get this word out, but already had something cool written for this week's hardware post* so am going to make this a quick "special edition" post. A few months ago I mentioned that the next version of the .Net Micro Framework, v4.2, was in beta, Netduino… -

Today's Hardware Friday Coding4Fun project is one that brings back a number of memories. From being a kid and building and racing in the Pinewood Derby, to those as a parent of a racer, to the "discussions" of which car won. In short, I wish I had this then... Project – Grand Prix… -

I'm a big fan of open clones of some of my old time favorite games like OpenTTD (I don't know how many hours I "invested" in Transportation Tycoon Deluxe...lol) and FreeCiv. Yet while they're open source, they really didn't fit to well here (where I try to focus more on managed language… -

One of the features of Mango/Windows Phone 7.1(5) that "real world" users (like my niece) seems to be excited about is custom ringtones. This has inspired a number of developers to provide app's to satisfy this desire. Today's project highlights one such app. WebTone 1.1 Released in… -

I know Halloween, and all the mazes that seem to accompany it might be closing down, but that doesn't mean you can't still get yourself lost in one. Yet this time you don't have to leave the warmth of your house (and you get all the code to check out too!) Marvelous Maze: A 3D Windows Phone Game…
