WordPress UWP Starter Kit
Back in the days of Windows Phone 7, Chris Koenig (@chriskoenig) wrote a nice little starter kit for building a WordPress app that ran on Windows Phone 7. It used a custom plug-in for WordPress that created a couple of feeds on the blog to be consumed by the app. It was a great little […]

XMLRPC and WordPress on Nuget
I just released both the XMLRPC.universal and WordPressAPI packages on Nuget. The WordPressAPI has also been changed to use the Nuget version of XMLRPC instead of needing a local copy of the project. Both of these projects should now be stable enough to use, although the WordPress client still only exposes a limited amount of […]

Currently the project supports […]

Binding to Multiple Properties in Universal Apps
The binding engine in the various XAML stacks has to be one of my favorite features of XAML. Its clean, fast, and provides a great deal of flexibility to the developer. While examining a problem I came up against on a recent project, I realized I needed a controlling class to manage the appearance and […]
