I'd like to hear about visual state managers, styling, and themes.

Can't wait to see it. Very much in the same spirit as the 31 days of Resharper which is a great idea.
Hope you have some blog posts already written though…otherwise that will be a really tough pace to keep.

I am still interested in best practices for:
1) dynamically loading secondary .xap/.dlls
2) font-embedding and whole-app styling
3) full-duplex WCF for real-time data
4) app-to-app communication
5) SOA and smart URLs

It would be good to see a webservice integration one.

All the links to the tutorial is dead! Can you fix it?
Thanks!

I just moved to a new blogging engine, and I’m working through fixing all of the links, but it’s taking me some time. If you use the search on the site, you should still be able to find the articles (at least until I catch up.) Sorry for the inconvenience…it will be corrected by the end of the month at the latest.
