MSDNWiki Documentation

Friday, June 09, 2006 11:00:00 PM (Central Standard Time, UTC-06:00)
I don't install MSDN help… to me its just not worth the space on my hard drive… I often use Google to search for examples or in depth information how the framework works.  The amount of information out there is impressive.  The problem is that you are relying on one person to provide you with sound examples of how to use or not use parts of the API.  You also pays to be knowledgeable in development practices to determine if what is being done is proper practice or a hack.
 
However, there may be hope.  Microsoft introduced a Wiki based MSDN this week.  The concept is similar to the WikiPedia, an online encyclopedia that is maintained by all, but unfortunately doesn't let you edit the body of the actual documentation. I think as the MSDNWiki gains popularity it will centralize high quality documentation for all aspects of the framework… and I hope add more relevant code examples for using the framework.
