My First CodeProject Article: LINQ to Life

Wednesday, March 05, 2008 11:45 PM

One Down, n to Go

I posted my first article to code project today. I decided that it would be fun to write Conway's Game of Life using LINQ. I wanted to stress how query expressions, lambda expressions, extension methods, and the rest of the .net 3.5 enhancements make code more expressive, readable, and easier to understand. Please click through the image, and take a look.

The First Time is Always the Hardest

I had a little trouble knowing what's what in their article submission editor. I even got this screencast:

 ...to work fine in the preview screen. No dice on the actuall submission. I had to punt back to providing a link to the screen cast stie.

I'm Amazed

I hadn't even finished all the cleanup: figuring out why my download link wasn't showing up, removing that last typo, punting on the embedded screen cast, when I noticed that the article had been read 473 times, had 2 votes (5/5), and a positive comment.

Wow! Certainly, that's humbling, and I'm very gratefull for the positive feedback. I'm just amazed people have read my work :)

Hi there Jeff!

I think that your article LINQ to Life is a really cool way to learn how to use LINQ in a fun way!
