I’ve just uploaded the next three tutorials in the Windows Phone 7 Tutorials series. I ended up doing a batch of three this time due the simplistic nature of any tutorials involving features the emulator doesn’t support well such as GPS and the Accelerometer.
This is an embarrassing admission, but a few days ago this site was compromised. It appears the FTP account was compromised (how I’m still looking into) and was malicious javascript was appended to all .js files.

Being able to convert say a temperature from a simple integer into something like a SolidColourBrush gives a very easy representation of heat.
The next two tutorials in the Windows Phone 7 Sample Applications have just been uploaded. They’ve taken a little longer to get out as I’ve started work on my first actual application for the Windows Phone 7, a client for the Stack Overflow family of websites. I’m also developing the example applications out of series because I’m waiting for the offical maps controls before developing applications using that.
