Feed Issues, Next Tutorial

Absolutely no idea why, but the feed refused to display the first tutorial. It was there in the XML for the feed, but Google Reader wouldn't show it. Anyway, through the standard IT technique of turning it off and turning it back on again I've got it recognising the first post. Let's hope it still sees the others too.

As for the next tutorial, I've decided it's high time I did a beginner's guide to C#. It'll be fairly short in regards to code you'll be writing, but pretty long in explanation. Aiming at complete beginners is a tricky task for a writer, so it might face a few delays, but I'm on track at the moment to have it out in time for the 1 post a month deadline.

Hope to see you back again soon, tell your friends!

A Basic Guide to WPF Databinding using Visual Studio and C#

Databinding is one of the most powerful tools the WPF framework provides. It allows a developer to abstract the user interface from the underlying mechanics of the system, removing the need for repetitive and boring assignment calls, type conversions and validation code on every control. The coder links a control's property to a field in an object or to a property on another control and everything else, all the assignments and most conversions are handled for you.

Read past the break for a simple guide to setting up a couple of bindings in Microsoft's Visual Studio and C#.

Welcome

Hi and welcome to while(stupid). This site is blank at the moment while I get busy writing and formatting and editing and coding and partying too, because a balanced social life is important. I promise you though, when I've gotten a nice backlog of articles written up I'll start posting them, and you'll be able to read them if you want. If you don't I'm not sure there's much more I can do for you.

For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, and by that I mean learnings, I'll start the whole caboodle off with a bang. A nice little guide to WPF databinding to make up for this paltry place-holder you're putting up with for now. If you aren't interested in this sort of thing and you're still here then you should probably go already, this is getting awkward.

So I hope to see you all soon (apart from you disinterested peoples - just go, you've broken my heart!) in a jiffy, or a while. However long it takes really.
