  7. Hmm... on Building Intelligent .NET Applications · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sounds like another '.NET for idiots' book.

    Honestly, you can build smart applications with the emacs editor and 5 years experience 'fooling around' with code. Why does everyone want to become a brilliant programmer from day 1? Takes time you know.

    Here's a free guide, shorter, more enlightening and language agnostic: Teach yourself programming in 10 years.

    In this game, you play the part of a clown's head attached to a 4-foot tentacle neck. Your nose detaches itself from your face, and it's the rest of your clown face's job to keep it from bouncing through the window behind you.
