The Daily Six Pack: April 12, 2013

The Daily Six Pack

Welcome to the start of your weekend. Before the go-slow starts, have a short break and check out Jesse Liberty’s post on Windows 8 Store Apps versus WPF Applications. Next up, Kunal Chowdhury give us a great tip for Silverlight and detecting network connectivity.

For those that develop for Android, Rob Hinds builds an RSS reader. Steve St. Jean then shows us how to create an offline installer for Visual Studio from a Web Installer (nice tip there) and Adam Gallant gives us a nice feature summary of the Visual Studio 2012 Update 2.

That’s it for this working week. I’ll see you guys tomorrow, so have an excellent Friday. Here is The Daily Six Pack!
