Yeah, Monster.com.
I just tried it again to verify. Actually it beeps like 10 times; sounds like a phone ringing.
Extremely annoying, and definitely could alert the boss.

Article 2 has .NET in it. I would never read it. Fortunately I can make my living with open standards like Java. I used to be all Microsoft.....thankfully.

I chose the first because it contained the words 3d and wizard. I immeadiantly conjure of ideas of what that article might be about. I didn't choose the second because it had to many "technical" terms in a row i.e "cross-domain web proxies" and "asynchronous HTTP handlers", which almost immediatly turned me off to the article. In the end i would have probably read both because of my inquisitive nature but for the layman which i guess i am compared to the majority here on the CP.

There are articles here?

I will read them both, but I will prefer the first. This is because the result is easy to explain to users (just show them what you did). Even I must know what is "behind the scenes", I cannot get feedback from users if I did it well or worse unless there is visible problem. Creating an UI is quite more simple. Just give it to the users and they will give an ideas what to add, to remove or to modify. (Note that this way is "lazy way" in feedback).
P.S. Nice results give a programmer a satisfaction. Satisfied programmer wants to program again as soon as possible.

To the OP: I'd say you're pretty close. It applies in my case; what drew me to programming in the first place was the multimedia potential. (My first program was a sprite editor for the Commodore 64, and I spent most of the rest of that seminal year writing animation and music programs.)
Still, there are outliers in the bell curve. I know at least two people who would have answered 2) to your original question, as the abstruseness and exclusivity of such endeavors are the main draw for them.

I agree.
I'd say it's the same as viewers of the Overhauling show will be more interested on checking those nice wheels rather than what kind of fuel injection system the engine will use.

I'd go for #2 myself. Mainly because I'll skip any title with 'Wizard' or 'Silverlight' in it as an automagically useless article. But that's just me.

I would probably go for the first one, since it has '3D' in it. Then, when I saw that it was about WPF and Silverlight, I'd ditch it because I don't care about either of those. Lastly, I would go look for an alternative that used DirectX or something, not find it, and lose interest.
I'm very interested in behind-the-scenes stuff, such as the Windows kernel and subsystems. It's just that the second item looks like meaningless jargon when I scan it- it needs a couple read-throughs before I understand what it actually says.

Actually I don't know a single developer (personally at least) who would like to work on GUI.

I had Chicken Karma for dinner today. It's like Chicken Korma, but the Chicken had it coming.
Made me chuckle. I'm easily amused though.

Or maybe it was Captain Cyclical-Reasoning:
"The Smoke-Free Arizona Act of 2007 (A.R.S. § 36-601.01) bans smoking in all non-smoking areas" 
|

|
|
...do you live in Arizona? 
|
|
|
|
|

How do they get Smoke-Free then? It seems you are still able to smoke in smoking areas? 
It would have been much clearer if the act was named "The No Smoke in Non-Smoking Areas of Arizona Act of 2007".

This act makes smoking in a non-smoking area an offense punishable by law, clearly defines where that offense can occur, and what the penalty for said offense could be. Prior to this law, I would guess you could freely smoke in a non-smoking area, and the worst that could happen is you would be asked to leave. Now you risk a fine between $50 and $500 for the same offense.

I realize the law makes sense, I voted for it, but the third-party summary is silly.
