I'm just starting to learn WPF and am interested in seeing some sample applications. These can either be applications written entirely for showcasing WPF features, or real-world applications written in WPF. Obviously the source code would need to be available. Does anyone have any suggestions? ...
First of all, I must say that I am quite new to the API java.util.concurrent, so maybe what I am doing is completely wrong. What do I want to do?

Let's say you want to provide an example url in documentation somewhere. The correct thing to do is use example.com, since that is the defined location for such things and anything else you come up with is likely to be actually registered somewhere and serving up who knows what to your readers.

Brian Kernighan was asked this question in a recent interview. I'll quote his reply: Brian: I'm torn on this. Error-handling code tends to be bulky and very uninteresting and uninstructive, so it often gets in the way of learning and understanding the basic language constructs. At the same time, it's important to remind programmers ...
