Microsoft has launched a new website aimed at developers who program for fun instead of profit with articles and information about how to use .NET 2.0 to develop games, media applications, and other personal use utilities. While aimed at the "hobbyist" developer, the site has some examples of how to use new .NET features that Enterprise developers can also learn from.

In particular, there is a very interesting article on building network utilities that shows how to use the new Semaphore class as well as new additions to the Systems.Net namespace that make simple network tasks like pinging a host significantly easier.

There is also an example of s system monitoring utility that monitors disk space, event logs, and network availability.
