It's astounding isn't it. What's even cooler (at least to me) is the collective man-hours we spend on CodeProject: 100 man-years each month. Just think: if there was a person who did nothing but view everything that everyone viewed on CodeProject, he'd be dead in a month. :omg: cheers, Chris Maunder

harder than a speeding 18-wheeler running over me. The contents of CP must be worth millions of dollars. Considering the amount of time that have been put into the articles and the average consultant salary, it must be a huge pile of cash! And the absolutely best part is that it's completly free to use! I'm not paying a cent for accessing it! Absolutely amazing! The competitors just doesn't reach the CP standard, not free of charge, and both of the above. What's even cooler is that you can actually publish your own stuff as easy as one, two, three, without having to go through bureaucracy. Simply amazing. :cool: -- Iron Maiden (Harris/Gers) wrote: The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow's fool Who are you kidding being that cool?
I agree CP is a great resource to have free apart from banner ads. At CP's current growth, it must become more valuable than MSDN at some stage. Regardz Colin J Davies

Yeah... There's a lot of good info on MSDN though, if only it were properly crosslinked and/or categorized and/or had a decent FAST search facility... http://www.google.com/microsoft.html has become my standby for looking anything up on MSDN these days. :( Shog9 ------ If you really what to get shitfacde tell a crowded bar that is is yourt borthday and hife your wallet. you ka will many more friends.

MSDN has become bloated in my opinion, There also seem to be a lot of multiple entries of the same stuff, and it often becomes impossible to find anything worth while even thought a search can bring back lots of results. Regardz Colin J Davies

Yeah, no kidding. I use the Google Bar to search Microsoft, but it does the same thing. I type in what I want, select the drop down, and click "Microsoft.com", then it gives me the proper stuff for MSDN.

I'd have to agree, I check back at the homepage for any articles every two weeks or so but in general I don't expect much -- except whenever I look for anything regarding the API or MFC. If I do that I expect to wade through 2 pages of results for Windows CE first :mad: -- Paul "I need the secure packaging of Jockeys.

Absolutely, this place totally rocks :) I honestly do learn something every day from here, admittedly I'm not a particularly high point of knowledge anyway so the baseline is already pretty low, but its good nonetheless :) Everyone, keep up the good work -- editors, readers and contributors alike. -- Paul "I need the secure packaging of Jockeys.
