Silverlight Project Source Code: Your's For the Taking

At the risk of repeating myself (yet again), I want to make sure that you've heard we are making available for download the source code to Dr. Dobb's FlipBook -- the special digital edition we created using Microsoft's Silverlight.

It really is pretty cool -- video, audio, graphics, text. Of course, the first thing you probably thought was that there is way too much "me" in it, stuttering and stammering his way into the world of RIA.

But in the spirit of Dr. Dobb's Journal, we're taking another step with FlipBook -- we're releasing the complete source code for the application. That's a lot of JavaScript, XAML, and the like. Since FlipBook was built within Visual Studio, the usual suspects do apply.

What we didn't include was the video and audio files of your's truly (among others). Only the text articles remain. So what you have is essentially a framework for building your own FlipBook-like applications. And when you do so, I'd love to hear -- and see -- what you come up with. So when the time is right, keep us in mind. Of course, you might end up using only snippets of the overall code, or just reading the code to understand how the thing works. That's okay too. Let me know.

To download the source code, all you have to do is go to www.ddjsilverlight.com/flipbook/ and click the appropriate button. Have fun, learn, and enjoy. This is the fun part of the project.
