Baran Ornarli — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:55:58 +0000

There are many Artificial Intelligence classes all over the country that have a curriculum that simply teaches various algorithms for solving puzzles and different problems. These are solutions to problems with fixed domains, they are brute forcing the answer through calculation, not solving it like humans. While the human brain is very unpredictable and behaves as one entity with different neurons shouting over each other, electronic AI can simulate the human mind extremely accurately.

Twitter API can be a lot of fun, some people use PHP but we can also use C# to create a program that connects to twitter and completes a certain task. In this example, we'll create a Twitter API client that will contact Twitter and check the amount of followers of anyone you want to look up.
