I run Coding4Fun and I build stuff that 9 out of 10 times will eventually hurt me. I tend to make hardware / .Net mashups.

As developers, we're always excited to see the next generation take interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). That interest is shared by our friends over at LEGO Education, the people responsible for the new LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3. Inspired by their new robotics kits, we created...

Part 35: Where to go from hereCongratulations, you made it to the end of another video series. That's no small task—it took a lot of commitment to do that, not to mention time and attention, but hopefully you enjoyed the series and were compiling ideas for building your own apps and gaining confidence—not to mention the knowledge...

PDF Version: http://aka.ms/absbeginnerdevwp8pdfAt this point, our AroundMe app is missing just one final feature: the ability to randomly change the lock screen to one of the pictures we've selected every few moments, even if the AroundMe app isn't currently...

PDF Version: http://aka.ms/absbeginnerdevwp8pdfOur app is coming together nicely, but there's one last feature we want to implement. When the user selects one or more Flickr images in the LongListMultiSelector, we'll take the FlickrImage data and serialize...

TWC9: Two Geeks and a Baby
May 23, 2014 at 2:15 PMreally? you brought in a baby!??!?
Part 13: Styling Tiles in the LongListSelector
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:36 PM@Valered: yup, stuff like that will start getting outside the scope of the lessons here, I suggest asking / looking it up over at the forums on http://dev.windowsphone.com or www.stackoverflow.com
Part 15: Playing a Sound when a ListItem is Selected
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:35 PM@Valered: yup, listen to the same event for both. following a very similar pattern as above.
I suggest trying out stuff like this in one-off applications so you can play with stuff and try new ways of doing stuff without messing up your code base (this is also why we have source control)
Part 3: Writing your First Windows Phone 8 App
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:32 PM@totti10hj: this goes through visual studio 2012. Sounds like you have Visual Studio 2013 if you are talking about the item above. If you launch that, it will install properly for 2013.
for the new event handler, do you have resharper or another tool installed? I just tried with resharper disabled and it came up right away.
If you miss the prompt for wiring up the event handlers automattically, you can hit control-space to get the context menu to come up with the options.
Part 1: Series Introduction
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:26 PM@Rincewind: Projects like this take a lot of time and planning. To do a total difference between Win8 and 8.1 is something that is above an absolute beginner.
Part 12: Improving the View Model and Sample Data
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:23 PM@Subscriber: First, this is for design time only for sampledata.xaml. You won't see this at all in the emulator or on a phone which is run time.
it isn't renaming the files, it is making sure what you are declaring in xaml is the same as If you hit a roadblock, view the sample code that goes with the series as well. The suggestion with viewmodel VS viewmodels is that the base code I wrote and the code Bob wrote for the lessons differ ever so slightly for the namespace here between viewmodel and viewmodels.
When in doubt, look over the code from the lesson. Every lesson has a complete copy of the project that matches what we covered
Part 14: Binding to Real Data at Runtime
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:18 PM@ZhiLi: that is outside the scope of the lesson here. If memory serves, you can't alter a file like that, you'll need to save it to isolated storage
Part 3: Introduction to XAML
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:16 PM@Irene Smith: @Rincewind: here is the list of differences. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn263110.aspx
Part 3: Introduction to XAML
Jan 05, 2014 at 3:15 PM@Irene Smith: OnNavigateTo is a virtual method. For the ABS series, we tend to have to tread a fine line between too technical and not skipping things.
