Thinking only of the Junior Developer

Junior devs can be absolutely terrible and can ruin a project if you don't watch them (i.e. reinventing a date class (poorly)). The better one learn quick and on their own but they still suck coming out of school no matter what. If there are techniques that they aren't familiar with, give them some links to read and then if they still don't understand, you can walk them through it. I prefer to not work with juniors at all but we all gotta start somewhere i suppose.

Creating a WPF / Silverlight Control With a Semi Transparent Backgroun
do not follow this person advice. they skipped the chapter on using layouts properly.
<Grid> <Label Margin="57,101,21,101">hiding behind everything</Label> <Grid Opacity="0.5"> <Border Margin="57,61,21,101" Name="border1" Background="blue" /> <Button Height="23" Margin="94,103,109,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top">Button</Button> </Grid> <Rectangle Width="50" Height="50" Fill="Pink" ></Rectangle> </Grid>
Take it easy. There's just too many noobs writing blog articles and it can create problems for other noobs learning (I was a Silverlight noob just 6 months ago...). Your blog was trying to show unexpected behavior when it was in fact completely expected. You found a solution but it was the wrong one. I had the same problems with layouts as you learning this stuff initially.
