Places to put stuff and code reviews
-
I've posted a couple of articles here - I've had good scores and feedback ranging from "very useful, thx" to "How can I [do something completely different]?", which is all very encouraging. However, I'm keen to improve my development skills beyond producing stuff that mostly works and that I can explain reasonably well in an article (I'm a perfectionist). So I was wondering if anyone had recommendations on places to achieve one or both of the following goals: - Somewhere to post ongoing projects and possibly collaborate with others - Places where I might get some useful feedback on the actual code that I write I had a look at PlanetSourceCode and SourceForge, and though they're packed with no doubt excellent stuff, their UI is so jumbled up with ads and links that I wasn't entirely sure half the time what I was looking at. But I thought the old hands here might have some ideas. :)

wdevs[^] I believe was started with this idea in mind. Last I checked though there where only a hand full of projects out there. The blog features at wdevs is heavily used by the user base.

PSC & SF have terible UIs X|
I'd love to help, but unfortunatley I have prior commitments monitoring the length of my grass. :Andrew Bleakley:

Thanks for the tip. It does look more like the kind of thing I was after, but it also looks a bit dead, since none of the projects have been updated since 2005! I guess that part of the site never took off. The Blogs look interesting, though, so I'll keep having a look. One of my very back-burner projects is to produce a Turtle type program (think back to the days of LOGO) with support for different pseudo-languages. However, having implemented the graphics side pretty easily, I discovered that writing an interpreter would be a bit of a nightmare. I read Martin Holzherr's "Crafting an Interpreter[^] series and it made my head hurt. :) So I thought I might need some help if I want to get the thing done before my son is old enough to use it!

Other wise there is CP, search for dan.g todo list, lots of hits relating to this project http://www.codeproject.com/tools/todolist2.asp[^] a number of people have chipped in to help. Coarse it is one of those killer apps.

I will second the recommendation on ToDoList... I am using it for work now to keep track of all of the various tasks I have. For my purposes, a top level 'Task' became a general area (Scalehouse, PI, WPS, etc... {systems and projects}). Tim

I had pointed out .dan.g's todo list just a reference if you create something cool others seem to flock and help out with the project. Which is what the OP seems to be looking for your right though the todo list is very :cool:

As has been suggested in another message in this thread, there is the 'To Do List' article, with full source code. From my perspective, I would LOVE to see a web based instance of this system that can be used on a department level; Microsoft Project is just too much overkill and too expensive to implement on that level. I would like to undertake 'recreating' the application for an intranet if someone who knows much more about web applications is willing to help. Tim
