Code Review

First things first. The code base needs to be reviewed and validated for accuracy.

A link to a summary page for every version of the code will be placed here. The summary page will include links to pages with source code. Code review should be done on those pages:

20070916 - First Release

This was the first release of the source code. It was initially uploaded to a file hosting site, but is now available here:

20070916 - OpenTemp Source Code

It is a C# project created in Microsoft Visual Studio 2005. It requires the Microsoft .Net Framework v2.0. (The easiest way to get it is with Windows Update or Microsoft Update).

If you want to play with the code, you should consider downloading Microsoft Visual C# 2005 Express. It’s free.

The code is implemented in three files. Use the links below to discuss the code:

Cell.cs
Station.cs
OpenTemp.cs

I would like to break it up into smaller files but that can wait until later.
