what do you think CP web site
-
Hi, SInce codeproject is the no 1 web site for most of the IT people. what do you think of the design of the webpage. Though its more homely and friendly, Sometimes I see many child like images. If any alien comes to earth and he browse for the no 1 IT site on this earth, he wont feel it that much professional or modern. Its said that website should make the best impression within 3 seconds. (dont ask where I read that ;)) I feel CP administrators should use all the knowledge in codeproject to build a very ultra modern website. I dont remember the name but I happen to visit a website which was so fast and modern and game like settings in it. it was damn good wish I could suggest the name. make it a opensource project. allocate some time for it. ppatel

They do - A lot of what you see here in Code Project is because of the contribution of members. The CP team have made a great job of putting that all together adding in their own magic and making the whole thing work.

1. If it was so "damn good" why can't you remember the name? 2. I thought you wanted professional, but now you want "game like". Which is it to be?

You losers.. Ok the functionality is good of CP. but what about feel. I think most of you have become very raw. Ask any artstic guy about the site design , look, colors, structure. he would not be happy. Why Microsoft opted for colorful windows xp. they could have kept the same look as windows 2000, boring. God, if world is ruled by guys like you.. it will become a place like mars, raw, dull, boring. (I also guess your boring outlook is the reason that you are a boring material for your wives and girlfriends :laugh::laugh::laugh:) (IT has been made boring by people like you. books and articals written in a very boring manner.) -- modified at 6:25 Saturday 6th May, 2006

And by that childish statement any of your arguments become worthless.

Where would an alien get his/her/its frame of reference for what is pofessional or modern?

Well in my opinion, they've already succeeded. CP is the best web-site that I use, whilst there are some known problems such as searching. Everything else is easy to find and within easy reach.

And that is what gives CP it's character. It has heart and soul. Where you see child-like, I see a site where a lot of love and attention has been put in to make CP a welcoming place, where you know the CP team is doing this because they love it, not because it is a job.

Dont butter CP. They wont hire you :laugh: I am totally CP fan. Recently I have joined. Everyone has their own vision of improvement. I want to see CP site in a very modern look. Would you like to see "mission impossible III" ni a very modern look or based in year 1800. ;) just dont bark on me now. just try to understand my point. this is just a suggesion.

You just joined and already you want to change things? I've not been around as long as other people here, but I wouldn't presume to tell people how to change major things already. There is a "suggestions" forum if you want changes to be made. Perhaps you haven't been here long enough to find it.

Having a look at these sites, I think I see where you are at. You have read Alan Cooper's "The Inmates are Running the Asylum" and you only half understood it. So, let me put this in terms on Alan Cooper's "personas": Code Project's user base has three primary personas (that I can see - Chris, et al. would be better placed to describe them, but I'll give it a go) First there is Kevin. Kevin is at university studying for a degree in computer science. He struggles with some of his course work and frequently asks for help in the programming forums. He quickly learned not to post in the Lounge and he's also learned that direct homework questions are met by a barrage of abuse. He actually understands he will learn if he tries to apply himself first, although he still has some way to go before he is able to frame his questions well. He hasn't written any articles, but does make extensive use of them. Then there is Ernie. Ernie is a software developer in his mid-20s who graduated from university about 3 years ago. He knows a fair bit about some technologies but still struggles with the vast area that is software development. He can help out by answering some questions on forums, but spends more time asking them. He has written an article but his lack of knowledge lead to a slighly below average score but he is striving to do better next time. He also likes to hang out in the social areas of the site where he can rant about the linux fanboys on slashdot. Earnie doesn't like the clutter of Slashdot, and is not overly impressed with large amounts of flash animation unless it is a cartoon about the decapitation of badgers, snakes and mushrooms. Finally there is Norm. He's now in his mid-30s and has been developing software professionally for over 15 years. He rarely needs to ask any questions in the programming forums and spends most of his time answering them. He needs an occasional sounding board for rants about his work and the Lounge and Soapbox are perfect for that. He's written at least a half dozen article most with great scores. He is more pragmatic about technologies than Earnie, but still doesn't like the type of zealotry that can be found on Slashdot. When ever he visits a website he wants to find the information he is looking for quickly and without fuss. Lots of flash animation slowing the access to that information is a big turn off.

You don't have a clue. What are some of the most successful sites on the Internet? Near the top of the list must be Amazon, Google and EBay. None of these feature graphics pyrotechnics and sound. All that stuff is fine for people who visit once and want to be entertained. It is a huge pain in the neck and a waste of time for people who go to a site regularly and want to access information quickly and with a minimum of fuss.

You mean: Terry the drive by nutter. Terry doesn't care much about Code Project or any of the two million people that are users of the site. He arrives on the forums with a great gusto determined to shake things up. He suggests wild ideas to which the regulars are opposed. He brazenly insults those around him rather than learn the intracacies of the site or the social network that has built up around it. After a few days of abuse he disappears so that he can irritate some other unsuspecting group somewhere. [Addition] Terry is an edge case, and Alan Cooper's book recommends ignoring edge cases because they bring no business benefit and can actually be counter-productive. [/Addition]

Completly useless sites. Utterly, and completly useless. Hard to navigate, and frankly, lousy design on many of them. Functionality is the number one priority. Sure, if you can make it look good too, then fine. You're just being artsy fartsy.
