Euler Project

This is a place where I discuss my solutions to Project Euler. This is a side project I've picked up as something fun to do while learning a new skill set. I originally started PE using php and quickly discovered php can be quite a bit slow on some of these problems. I then hopped to Javascript as it's ubiquitous and easy to use. I eventually ran into problems with how large some of the numbers are that you end up working with. From there I polled two friends that do dev work and asked each "If I were to learn a new language while doing PE, would you recommend Java or C++ to me. Both said (independently) C#.

So begins my journey of attempting to tackle Project Euler while learning a new language - though I say new and I honestly haven't programmed anything outside of Visual Basic circa 1999. 

I hope you find some of my solutions helpful and welcome any critiques as I proclaim absolutely no expertise in either the math behind some of these problems nor finesses in C#.


For the record I'm using Microsoft's Visual Studio Express 2010 for C# for my IDE.
