How to add a file to the blog?

As you can see the schedule did not post correctly and I am unaware of how to attach a file to the blog. So I will email one instead to my instructor for approval.

Windows 7

I recently installed the full version of Windows 7 on my notebook and I have to say that I am very pleased with the performance. It runs very smooth compared to Vista. The possibilities to personalize your computing experience is endless. I believe Microsoft has finally done something right!

Materials

I thought it would be a good idea to document the core materials that I will be using throughout the semester.

1) Software: Microsoft Visual Studio

2) Book: C# Complete

3) Additional Resources: web

Meeting Results

After meeting with my professor we decided that I should create a schedule that will dictate my progress through out the semester. Currently I am working on getting VisualStudio running on my personal notebook. I will post a detailed schedule later on this week.

Project Meeting

Today, I will be meeting with Dr. Piercy to discuss a project to deliver at the end of the semester. I have been reviewing C# language specification and source code but at this point it is still confusing. The best way to grasp this language is to actually create something with it so I can see which task each piece of code is responsible for completing. I will post soon on the the project deliverable that was decided upon.

C# Language Specifications

I was browsing online and I found what seems to be an excellent beginning point for me to start learning the syntax of C#. It is a 519 page documentation of the C# language. The link for the page is:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcsharp/aa336809.aspx

The link is called C# Language Specification 3.0

The site also appears to have a lot more on the programming language and I will certainly be looking into it more thoroughly.
