A few weeks ago I was working on getting the beginning and end of the week for any given DateTime. This would've been easy if I realized that the AddDays function of the .NET DateTime actually returned a new DateTime. I spent a full morning pragmatically working out which month/day/date it was and when. Once I realized this I re-wrote my code in about 1 minute. Only slowed down by typing speed.

This is just a small post which is less of a tutorial and more of a small piece of information that I would've found useful a little while ago. When adding an exiting project to a solution in Visual Studio 2010 it does not copy the original project into the new one it just adds a sort of reference to the new project where you can edit the added project.

This code can be used on things like a table of contents. It is used to navigate very large html pages and is endlessly helpful. I also remember when I was trying to learn it tutorials that where actually helpful where few and far between. The basic concept of the way it works is you create a link to a title or point of interest. To create the link to the point of interest surround the code

While in a game making competition at the beginning of the year and in the room where my team was placed was one other team, a team of first year programmers. For the most part they did ok with all four of them working together considering the limited amount of programming experience they had between them.

I've been programming websites for a while and I've always avoided using z-index because when I asked my web development teacher about his he just laughed. I've had a few dabbles at trying to implement it myself with no real guidance and up until till now I haven't figured out why it didn't work. On the W3Schools info about z-indexing there is one note that is not very prominent that should be
