The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Unfortunately not: the whole book is LINQ, which is not available in C (nor are IEnumerable interfaces).

And I think they should know what they are doing: the two authors are "Community Program Manager for the Microsoft C# Team" and "Senior Program Manager in the Microsoft .NET Developer Platform Team" according to "about the Author".

Now I think about it, it explains a lot about MS software, really... Laugh | :laugh:
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

Digital man: "You are, in short, an idiot with the IQ of an ant and the intellectual capacity of a hose pipe."
