In my position as a Developer Evangelist for Telerik’s XAML product line (Silverlight and WPF) I am frequently asked questions about how to internationalize a Silverlight app. I poked around on Google and found that there wasn’t very much information on this subject, and most of it was out of date, so I figured it would be appropriate to put together this series.

For Issue 800, Brian Henderson (@brian_henderson) suggested I do a best of, so I used the tagging that Michael Washington and I put in a year ago here at the Summit, and have produced a 'Top 25'.

Karen Corby has posted a list with some really good Silverlight articles written by David Poll and Jesse Bishop.

A couple folks on my team have recently started blogs.  If you haven’t already, check it out!

Andrej Tozon has posted seven new articles to his series called "Countdown to Silverlight 3". Here is a list with those posts:

• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #8: Style inheritance
• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #9: Day 0 and updated sample deck
• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #10: Animation easing
• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #11: Writeable Bitmap
• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #12: ClearType font rendering
• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #13: Bitmap effects
• Countdown to Silverlight 3 #14: Selector.IsSynchronizedWithCurrentItem

If you are not familiar with the previous seven parts you will find all of them here.

Hanu Kommalapati decided to create a blog post in which to present the MSDN Magazine articles that he has recently written: ".NET Framework Internals: How the CLR Creates Runtime Objects", "Build Line-Of-Business Enterprise Apps With Silverlight, Part 1" and "Build Line-Of-Business Enterprise Apps With Silverlight, Part 2".

I wrote some MSDN magazine articles but never really blogged about them.
