sorry why Eclipse when MS Visual Studio Express is free?
I used Eclipse back when I was a Java developer. Not using free stuff much these days as I work only for firms who can pay me - one characteristics of such firms are that they tend to pay for expensive toys and licensed software.

"Why All The Lambdas?" is a question that comes up with ASP.NET MVC. Instead of lambdas, why don't we just pass a property value directly? Aren't we simply trying to give a text input the value of the property? There is more going on here than meets the eye, so let's start from the top... Lambdas help the helpers, that's why.

The Network panel gives us a view into the resources that are requested and downloaded over the network in real-time. Viewing network traffic isn’t the most glamorous activity – especially if you’re new to web development. However, performance becomes an important issue, as your site’s traffic increases. Identifying and fixing requests that take a long time to complete is an important step in optimizing a site. Watch your site as it arrives, bit by bit.

Most discussions about sorting algorithms tend to end up discussing quicksort because of its speed. Formal computer science programs also tend to cover quicksort last because of its excellent average complexity of O(n log n) and relative performance improvement over other, less efficient sorting algorithms such as bubble sort and insertion sort for large data sets. Unlike other sorting algorithms, there are many different implementations of quicksort that lead to different performance characteristics and whether or not the sort is stable. The entire algorithm is just a loop of loops.
