10 Years Old Today! Woohoo! 10 year ago Dave and I had just bought a smokin' dual-proc 350MHz machine with a whole GB of RAM and the first pages went up. It was my second visit to Toronto and I experienced my first snowday, my first deep-fried cheesestick, and a renewed aquaintance for Sleemans Honey Brown Lager. Our office was in the basement of a restaurant and in the mornings, sometimes, you couldn't concentrate for the sounds of the veal being pummeled into submission. My previous web experience was HTML and CGI and this whole new-fangled ASP thing seemed a little crazy, but I figured I'd give it a go. A pity no one mentioned to me that I'd soon count VBScript as my primary programming language for the next 4 years. Two days later I flew back home to Australia. Me, my 128Mb MP3 player, "ASP 3.0 for Beginners" and 14hrs of time to ask myself "what have I done??" We grew, and grew, and had growing pains, and bought more servers, gained more growing pains, and continued to grow, and 10 years later - a time when fairness would dictate we should be able to kick back a little - we're working harder, longer, and have yet to reach a point where we can even imagine "being finished". And we're still loving what we do, and I could probably speak for all of us when I say we love it more now than when it was still fresh and new. So a huge thanks to all those who have helped us along the road. From the article machines to those who live in the forums, all the way to the casual visitor who, 5 years ago, may have taken the effort just to drop us an email to say thanks. It all helps, every little bit. Here's to another 10 years :beer:

I am not an active poster like the other guys. I just stand by the side, and read EACH & EVERY post they make (. . . and their replies). So, I guess, that makes me a part of CP as well. Congratulations :thumbsup: 10 years is a really long time. Keep it up!

"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly."

I think a lot of us start as lurkers, thats how we learn after all. Then one day you run across a question in the forums and go hey! I know the answer to that! and so starts another one down that path.

Chris, I'd like to say you and everyone else here have been an inspiration for beans like me, to those that get stuck to those that go "hey neat trick". I've been coming here for years and then finaly regestering as member. Codeproject has to be my most favourite place on the web. may there be many many more. Cheers.

Every coding problem or question I've had, over the last few years, has either been answered in an article or a message thread here -- without my ever having to ask it (I don't recall ever asking a programming question, at least). I imagine that that experience is the same for a good percentage of the 6.6 million CP members. Quite an achievement.

Our office was in the basement of a restaurant and in the mornings, sometimes, you couldn't concentrate for the sounds of the veal being pummeled into submission. My previous web experience was HTML and CGI and this whole new-fangled ASP thing seemed a little crazy, but I figured I'd give it a go. A pity no one mentioned to me that I'd soon count VBScript as my primary programming language for the next 4 years. Two days later I flew back home to Australia. Me, my 128Mb MP3 player, "ASP 3.0 for Beginners" and 14hrs of time to ask myself "what have I done??" We grew, and grew, and had growing pains, and bought more servers, gained more growing pains, and continued to grow, and 10 years later - a time when fairness would dictate we should be able to kick back a little - we're working harder, longer, and have yet to reach a point where we can even imagine "being finished". And we're still loving what we do, and I could probably speak for all of us when I say we love it more now than when it was still fresh and new. So a huge thanks to all those who have helped us along the road. From the article machines to those who live in the forums, all the way to the casual visitor who, 5 years ago, may have taken the effort just to drop us an email to say thanks. It all helps, every little bit. Here's to another 10 years :beer:
