Ohhh now this is just cool.

I really think some of the best learning tools are when you just doing it for fun. Fun Projects are just great way to learn and have fun learning at the same time. DHTML Dude used to always be one of my favorite articles because it was fun stuff. While not always practical you learned practical stuff you could use elsewhere and how to do it properly.

Unfortunately this is now going to cut into that valuable resource I call sleep for a while, while I dig in and check it all out. Some really cool projects up there.

This looks really cool and is the kind of site that I've been wishing Microsoft would put out for a while now.

On the game development front, Flipcode has a groovy feed of game development related headlines.

I think that's an LCD display, however.

Derek's game development article is really a 'Good' kickstart for future (managed!!) game developers.

Coding4Fun looks like a great start - I downloaded Derek Pierson's Battle Tank 2005 code, and it looks like a lot of fun - but y'all don't have any feedback mechanisms on the site itself! I can understand why, given what a cracker/spammer target the microsoft.com domain must be, but still...
