Recently Microsoft released Tools for Apache Cordova Command Line Interface (TACO CLI), by using TACO, you can quickly start building awesome Apache Cordova apps really and leave all the plumbing of the different platforms dependencies, plugins, etc. to the tools to take care of. For example the following few commands create a cordova project based on the ionic base template, add the android

While working the VS 2015 RTM, I found that IntelliSense in bower.config file cannot load the versions of the packages. the problem is reported here, and the solution that worked for me is to install the git tools and run the command git config --global url."http://".insteadOf "git://" then restarting VS. this will hopefully solve the problem.

With Portable Class Library Projects you can create a single library that can target different platforms (e.g. Windows Phone, .Net, Windows Store Apps). For most of the modern apps it’s kind of mandatory to use the MVVM pattern, a famous MVVM library is Laurent Bugnion MVVM Light library. In this post we will walk through the steps needed to create a Portable Class Library that uses the MVVM

There are some attempts to use Kinect from Silverlight (here) but this was before MS released the official SDK. we will use Silverlight 5 P-Invoke feature to call the

With the introduction of Windows Phone 7.0 a new opportunity emerged for Silverlight developers, this new platform uses Silverlight (a version of Silverlight 3.0) as the main framework to build applications on the phone. When building applications for Silverlight and WP7 you will find that you can reuse some of the code across the two platforms, Linked source files were used to share code between

It' has been two years since I started working with the DevLifeStyle community in Saudi Arabia. The best thing about working the communities is that you get to meet with great people who share with you the same passion to technology. I’m really looking forward to continue our community efforts in the next year. In celebration of this occasion, I collected all the communities events pictures that

In the previous post we set the stage for how can we start building Silverlight applications for SharePoint 2010 You have three options to actually program against the SharePoint from Silverlight: First there’s the SharePoint web services that have been there for a long time, Second there’s the new REST APIs that is suitable for working with strongly typed lists and the final option is the

After a long week full of confusion, controversy and anger, Bob Muglia provide more clarification. Kill Silverlight?! what did you think guys?! For GOD’s sake Silverlight is not the Ugly Kin to simply terminate like this. By the way, too many “Is Silverlight Dead?” screams out there but no “Is Flash Dead?” ! does this tell anything?!

It’s been a while since I used SharePoint as I was focusing lately on Silverlight, In this post I will start exploring how to use Silverlight 4.0 with SharePoint 2010, I must mention that I’m not a SharePoint expert so please feel free to update me if there’s something mentioned that is not correct. What I like about SharePoint 2010 is that Silverlight comes right out of the box. The first thing
