For the last day of the year, last post of the year, we're NOT doing a top 10. We're NOT doing a Best Of. We're NOT doing a prediction post, a roll-up, year in review, or even a thank you post! Na... Boring... We're about coding right? So how about we wrap up the year highlighting a open source, c#,…

First post of the year! Yeah! So how should we start off the year? If I were to make a prediction, I might be tempted to call this year, the "Year of the Device." We now have some very high quality devices from all the major players, the app stores continue to go and devices are nor must…

I mean the drivers, helpers, etc for more hardware the better, right? μPLibrary - .Net Micro Framework Helper…

Mobile Monday it is, and today we're going mobile a little differently. Instead of a mobile app, code, project, today's project, by Geert van der Cruijsen, gets under the skin of Windows Phone 8 Development... WP8 Emulator Skin SwitcherChange the look of your Windows Phone 8 emulator by using the…

Today's Web Wednesday project is pretty awesome and while there appears to be source available for it, it was outside of my skillset to really grok it. But I though this awesome enough to share anyway. Are you a MicroProse Transport Tycoon Deluxe fan? You remember last year's post about an…

I'm just a sucker for weather stations. I don't know what it is about them, but I can't ever seem to get enough of them. And since we're currently having some "weather" here in Southern California I thought a .Net Micro Framework Weather Station something cool to blog about... This is more…

Today's Modern Mono Monday project is one by Filip Ekberg that I've been meaning to blog about for and I think is pretty cool, showing off a number of different things (and you all know how much I like projects that hit a number of bases...) Windows Store 8 App? Check SurfaceRT? Check MonoGame?…
