C# Examples and Resources

This site contains articles that are mostly focused on C# programming and related topics, such as Visual Studio 2008 and ADO.NET. My goal is to provide a quality resource that is more usable for developers than most documentation.

Featured Article

The coolest article here right now is about how you can program monsters to move around walls. It is called A-Star Pathfinding. It contains two screenshots, and a ton of code, which is also available at my Google Code site. The article is in the Algorithms section.

Article Collection

All of the content here is my original work, and there is a link to more information about both the site in general and the author near the bottom of the page. Some of the links here actually begin a series of pages, or are part of one. The 5 most recent additions to the collection are highlighted.
