Last week, I stumbled upon the following piece of code:

IList<double> doubles = new List<double> {22.123, 400.12, 100.22};
foreach (int number in doubles)
{
    Console.WriteLine("The Current Number Is : {0}", number);
}

Can you see the bug in that code? We convert all of the doubles in the list to integers, truncating them. I was very surprised that the compiler didn’t warn me about this issue, especially because the compiler would not let me write this code:

Suppose you have several objects in your WPF application filled with similar Brushes which differ in brightness only. Like in this image:

The nine rectangles use the same RadialGradienBrush but each rectangle is a little darker than previous. You can create these 9 different brushes in your favorite design tool (Expression Blend, etc.). But what if you need to change the base color later or you just need to make the brush user-configurable? Like in these samples:

What is REST?

Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of software architecture for distributed hypermedia systems such as the World Wide Web. As such, it is not just a method for building "web services." The terms "representational state transfer" and "REST" were introduced in 2000 in the doctoral dissertation of Roy Fielding,[1] one of the principal authors of the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) specification.

REST is a method of managing resources over HTTP. There are a number of methods of interacting with resources via REST.

Systems which follow Fielding’s REST principles are often referred to as "RESTful".
