Both personally and professionally, I write C# daily for Windows forms apps and Windows services. Even after years of this, I find it FAR faster to whip out a web app with PHP or Python than to do it with .NET. Maybe things have changed with Silverlight, but to me the learning curve on ASP.NET is ridiculous compared to...

1. GitHub is a really great option for git. 2. Most of the free, public hosting sights will insist that you license your code with an OSS license (and, possibly, your documentation).

I agree with Nick. Exception you described is not really "unexpected exception" so you should design you code accordingly taking possible exceptions into account.

`int` is a value type, so each time you do an assignment, (e.g. both instances of `+=` above), it doesn't modify the object you have on the heap, but replaces the reference with one of the result of the right hand side of the assignment (i.e. an `int`) `list` isn't a value type, so it isn't bound by the same rules. thi...

I find that long mocking procedure to be too much friction. The best way we have found - using ASP.NET MVC on a real project - is to abstract the HttpContext to an IWebContext interface that simply passes through.

Your two `xint` examples don't work for two different reasons. The first doesn't work because `self += value` is equivalent to `self = self + value` which just reassigns the local variable `self` to a different object (an integer) but doesn't change the original object. You can't really get this ``` >>> x = xint(10)...

While I agree that many of the books above are must-reads (Pragmatic Programmer, Mythical Man-Month, Art of Computer Programming, and SICP come to mind immediately), I'd like to go in a slightly different direction and recommend [A Discipline of Programming](https://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/com/013215871X) by ...

If your game has a replay system built in, you can submit replays to the server and have the server calculate the score from the replay. This method isn't perfect, you can still cheat by slowing down the game (if it is action-based), or by writing a bot.

Why use a `BST` at all? From your description a dictionary will work just as well, if not better. The only reason for using a `BST` would be if you wanted to list out the contents of the container in key order. It certainly doesn't sound like you want to do that, in which case go for the hash table. `O(1)` insertion ...

Though it's probably not usable in an embedded environment, I've had good luck with [WinDbg](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WinDbg) for debugging release-mode Windows applications.

As you suspected, Remote.Disable stops the app from attaching debug info to remote requests. It's defined inside the .NET framework methods that make the SOAP request.

I like the way that Django does it. You build models and the when you run a syncdb it applies the models that you have created. If you add a model you just need to run syncdb again. This would be easy to have your build script do every time you made a push. The problem comes when you need to alter a table that is alr...
