Why does it have to be horrible?Features such as flexgrids were added to CSS so that web designers did not have to learn Javascript. Unfortunately, so many features have been stuffed into CSS that it has essentially become a (very clunky) programming language and defeated that goal. I find it easier to do things in Javascript and I avoid it.

A gentle puzzle I was just asked.The smallest positive integer is either 0 or 1 depending on whether 0 is considered positive or not. The largest negative integer is -1. So the answer is 1 or 2. This is not the intent of question but that is the correct answer given how the question was worded.

LINQ is fun!Strictly speaking, this is not LINQ. LINQ stands for Language-Integrated Query and is a query language that can be embedded within C#. You have written C# code using the classes that support LINQ. As an exercise, try rewriting your code using LINQ.

Storing huge numbers of filesI worked on a system that had to stream 1MB images to disk at 75fps. I found that once there were about 700 files in a directory, creating new files suddenly became slower and the required transfer rate was unachievable. I ended up creating a new subdirectory every 500 files. Of course this won't be a problem if your system is purely for archive.

new room({location:i})
just sends in a json object which is used to initialize the object.‘{location:i}’ is Javascript syntax for defining an object. JSON is a format for persisting Javascript objects as text.
