Googleman - Quite possibly the best WPF application ever(james.newtonking.com)

submitted by JamesNK(3020) 3 years, 3 months ago

Googleman is a fun and pointless application for launching Google.com in the style of the Batman 60s TV show, complete with spinning Google logo and sound effects. Now when a friend or co-worker says “To Google!” you can open your favourite search engine in style. Googleman uses WPF and is written using the MVP pattern. read more...

Being a “nice” programmer(objectreference.net)

submitted by Vort3X(1335) 4 years, 1 month ago

Being a C# developer by trade, I naturally spend a lot of my working life programming computers.

However, for some this is an automatic response to a question that is particularly difficult to answer in an industry with no clear career path. For others it's simply a way to move up the pay scale. read more...

The most important quality of a developer: Self-criticism(codeclimber.net.nz)

submitted by simonech(10.1k) 4 years, 1 month ago

I think an awful lot of creation is made out of, also, the self-criticism of a developer, and very often I think probably what makes one seem better than another his that his critical sense is more acute. It may not be that he is more gifted in any way but just that he has a better critical sense. read more...
