Fyi, Mads Torgersen from Microsoft has given several "What's New in C# 6.0" presentations: https://channel9.msdn.com/Search?term=torgersen#ch9Search&pubDate=year https://channel9.msdn.com/Search?term=torgersen#ch9Search&pu... You can pick the 7 minute quick overview, or the 1 hour session at Ignite2015. (Side note to the poster... your blog layout displays a constant masthead using over 40% of the width. A technical audience for your blog might find it excessive to have that much space dedicated to "brand awareness" about your availability to create custom websites.)

Indeed, those are some really nice resources. Thank you for mentioning them. In response to your side note: 40% is a bit of an exaggeration (unless your resolution is extremely low) but I do appreciate your point - I can see how the masthead might be a bit obnoxious. I will tweak the theme accordingly in the near future. Thanks.

  > 40% is a bit of an exaggeration (unless your resolution is extremely low) No, it's not exaggeration. I'm measuring the width of your actual text content. I'm guessing you're measuring the width of the browser window which is not relevant to the ratio calculation. Your masthead takes up 530 pixels. The total width from left edge of masthead to right edge of actual text is about 1296 pixels. On my Chrome browser, even if I maximize the window (press F11) to be 2560 pixels, your text content still maxes out at 1296 pixels (which leaves 1264 pixels of empty space on the right). 40.9% = 530/1296

His layout seems fine to me. Out of curiosity, I shrunk the sidebar down to 20%, but found that the main difference was that it made the content's line length uncomfortably long to read.

Agreed, the sidebar width is overwhelming. On the other hand, if the purpose of the blog is to advertise his services then the sidebar being obnoxious might be the point, however unpleasant it might be.
