This is my personal collection of LinqPad queries that I use to work out in C# (and, soon, F#). The public purpose of this repository is to set an example for beginner developers to make a personal practice “normal” instead of depending on the current IT shop to “encourage” self-improvement/self-education.

• My JSON.NET experiments.
• My NAudio experiments.
• My WPF research.
• My interview with Google.
• My interview with Microsoft.
• My interview with JPL (part 1 and part 2).

Yes, Microsoft Expression Blend is somewhat buried in contemporary releases of Visual Studio. As of this writing, Blend in particular and WPF in general are not broken down into Core packages by Microsoft itself. It follows that developers copy DLLs from Microsoft (possibly violating licensing) and cram them into source control or we put or trust in 3^rd-party NuGet packages such as these below:

• Microsoft.Expression.Blend.SDK.WPF is locked in the 2012 timeframe but has ‘everything’ (System.Windows.Interactivity.dll and Microsoft.Expression.*.dll DLLs).
• Expression.Blend.Sdk this replaces the System.Windows.Interactivity.dll (or its equivalent) on as many platforms (within the package timeframe) possible.
• Expression.Blend.Sdk3 this one appears older than the one above.
