Article/Code Creation Order
-
I'm finishing my first articles to post here in CP :-O:rolleyes: I finished the article text, but not the code yet. CP writers, what do you write first? The article text or the code and why?

Code. [edit] And only if I see it's good, (in my veiled view of reality), I write n article [/edit]

I don't know about the others but in my case code comes first and then the article. I have plenty of useful code sitting with me that could all be very good articles. Writing is too difficult coding is too easy.

Too Bad, I haven't post any articles yet.... Since I don't have much time to think anything to write. :-D

Why? It's good that someone finally managed to catch him out ;P
I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

For the Grand Negus, separating the article from the code would be a tiresome processes ;P :-D

:laugh: If he ever writes any articles :suss:

I've always had the code first, and then written the article.

I wonder what he's writing about when he has no code? :laugh:

Some of my tutorials were done in parallel, especially the WTL series. I had to go deep into some part of WTL (on my own, to teach myself), but the code from that effort wouldn't have worked well in a tutorial article. So I wrote an outline for an article, then came up with an idea for the sample code to go along with the article, then wrote both the code and article together.

That sounds similar to my approach to my (one and only :-O) article. The original code was for something I had done at work. That code had to be stripped to its essentials, the article written, and a suitable sample application written to go along with it.
