No matter which media, the sci-fi genre captures the imagination like no other, be it film, TV, books, gaming or art. Sci-fi doesn't trend, it is simply always popular and has been for many years, and I am sure will be for many years to come. It is a genre that frees the imagination, the artist, game creator or author can go where they will in their own minds to create amazing works that need absolutely no grounding in reality, and of course, sci-fi does not always have to be serious as a few of the works below will prove. In this round-up, we have collected more than 50 beautifully imaginative examples of digital sci-fi art for your viewing pleasure.

Good landing pages are indispensable from a marketing point of view. They are the entry points for valuable visitors, and every business wants pages that can funnel users in the right direction. A lot is riding on landing pages - they have to be perfect. As a graphic designer working on a corporate landing page, I felt a trifle stifled at first. We had to do a conversion-centered design and there were a dozen components that had to be there: USP headline and sub header, a section detailing the benefits, a picture representing our services, a prominent call-to-action, social and other contact points, etc. Designing a successful and attractive page was not difficult. After all, the structure of the page was driven by the different elements that had to be accommodated. The wireframe I created for the page looked too much like an infographic - it served its purpose, but there wasn't anything special or creative about it. In order to find inspiration for creating innovative and graphical landing pages, I trawled hundreds of pages on the web. Here are fifteen of the most innovative landing pages on the Internet.

If you're looking to quickly and easily pull together a posh design piece, we've got just the trick! Vector ornaments can instantly add a touch of class and richness to promote the quality of your work instantly. Looking for Christmas ornament vectors instead? Check 'em out here Vector ornaments - inspired by the Victorian-era - are always intricate and possess a soft, feminine feel. It's these dressy details that help to convey the wealthy, rich state present during Queen Victoria's reign by which this time period was inspired and therefore, named after. This rich style is conveyed through the use of swirls, flowing florals, and beautiful borders often present in this type of elegant design, so if you're creating a design for something a bit more on the formal side, vector ornaments can pull your delicate design together. Grab an ornament frame or florals to seamlessly piece together a wedding invitation in a jiffy. Or emphasize a section of text in a piece by placing a swirl ornament above and below your text to frame it in a feminine way. (Pro tip: this can also be an easy approach to creating a logo for an upscale business!) Vector ornaments were also widely used during the 1920's vintage era and consequently are widely present in old-timey designs (think vintage movie poster designs). So this design type can also be used to go retro with your work! When working with this style of design, there is one key thing to remember: a little goes a long way. Since vector ornaments are very detailed designs, you'll want to maintain your classy look by using them sparingly. Otherwise, your design will look too busy and overcrowded. Also because of the intricate details present in vector ornaments, these designs can be laborious to create. Instead of spending hours, download them from Vecteezy where we've hooked you up with top-notch vector ornaments. Below is a list of list of some of the most popular vector ornaments available from our communi

NTrace is based on ETW(Event Tracing For Windows) which is a kernel-level tracing service which has several benefits over the tracing provided in .NET... Most importantly, it can be turned on and off without restarting the application, but it also has features like built-in high performance circular logging (a circular log is one that never grows above a specified size by flushing out older trace messages), and the ability for you to capture the logs from multiple sources into a single trace session.

Might be C# only, because of the build step

"singletons are unnecessarily difficult to test and may make strong assumptions about the applications that will use them [...] I know where you live anti-pattern [...] Liskov Substitution Principle". "To decide whether a class is truly a singleton: * Will every application use this class exactly the same way? (exactly is the key word) * Will every application ever need only one instance of this class? (ever and one are the key words) * Should the clients of this class be unaware of the application they are part of?"
