Colors and Operators

Saturday, June 16, 2001

I changed the colors for the sidebar, picking light silver for some entries. This reduces the number of basic colors on the site to five (white, black, silver, light silver, and the secret shade of navy blue [as the default]).

Then, I redesigned the start page (it had become overloaded with links and text). Now, you should have a better overview of what's hot. This allows for more detailed descriptions as well. Finallly, I got rid of the counter :-).

Some new content is in: operator precedence in C#. In fact, you might see more C# stuff here in the future. Operators have to do with the latter, or more precisely, the decision of the Visual Basic .NET team to reintroduce the bitwise behaviour of logical operators. It turned out that C#'s operator rules aren't perfect either. As I see it, boolean and bitwise operators should all be grouped together, respectively, with relational and equality operators in between. This would avoid many bugs, because everybody can safely recall the rules. God forbid someone gets it right!
