Unless I'm on a hurry to find something on the Internet, I pick one of the Google results, click interesting links on that page, click links that sound interesting on the second level page(s) and go on like this until I feel tired of the information I keep collecting on the way.

Today I started my journey by searching for "C# coding standards and best practices" and ended up somewhere else. All of the sites that I touched during my journey are informative and I would like to touch them again in near future. Here is the route:

-> Google search results page
--> Lance Hunt's blog
--> Sean Rock's blog
----> iDesign site
----> SSW site for rules to better code
------> Creating task list comments
----> Will O Wisp blog for Code Style Enforcer tool
----> DXCore for Visual Studio.Net
----> Ten Essential Tools: Visual Studio Add-Ins Every Developer Should Download Now
------> .NET Tools: Ten Must-Have Tools Every Developer Should Download Now
----> Snap Preview Anywhere
