Fabulous Adventures In Casting

I've written a lot about casting over the years in this blog, but always in the context of the "cast operator": the operator that instructs the compiler to make an explicit conversion from a value of one type to a value of another type. I have recently taken up a new hobby that is casting of an entirely different sort: the casting of molten metal into a mold made of sand to form a desired shape.

I have no experience whatsoever with any kind of metalworking, so I'm learning as I go here and making mistakes along the way. I'm going to document the results of these experiments on my new blog, Fabulous Adventures In Casting. If this subject interests you, check it out!

We now return to our regularly scheduled discussion of the "is" operator in C#.
