Debugging is something we all do. It is one of those things we can’t escape…
Tools like Visual Studio are very powerful for debugging purposes and provide lots of debug options and information. However most of us don’t master these tools properly. If this is the case then you might want to take a look at this tutorial by Abhijit Jana.

This app will create a printout of a selected 3D model ready for us to cut and glue. Actually is not the app itself, the app only serves as a front end for a server side application. Nevertheless it is a nice idea, and it should provide hours of fun for those with kids (or those who are still kids, regardless of age 🙂 ).
The interface is a little old style, but it serves its purpose, and is very intuitive.
