Is the Code Project only for the intermediate or advanced level developers?

Md Marufuzzaman

Hi Guys: As a learner point of view; most of the times I search for a very basic level questions and I always wonder that the search results most of the time contain some intermediate or advanced level articles and tips/tricks as well. Is the code Project only for the intermediate or advanced level developers?

Thanks Md. Marufuzzaman

It's for all developers. Articles can be submitted for any level. The author of the article gets to choose the level, so the actual level of the article may not be what the author selected, depending on how the author percieves his/her own work. However, more advanced articles are held in a higher regard and beginner articles are sometimes viewed as "what's the point when this info is on MSDN or in beginner books or can be found already using Google".

Of course it isn't. Most of my articles are aimed at a beginner audience - be they beginner in a technology, or in programming in general. I'm a great believer in trying to provide that leg up for developers who haven't got a huge amount of experience - they deserve as much information as somebody who wants to go deep dive into a technology.

Probably because the intermediate and advanced get the highest votes, and search results are weighted by rating.

Good for you for searching before you ask. However, if you can't find the answer you need, try posting your question in quick questions, with an example of what you've tried and where you are stuck.

yes, probably this may one of the valid reason.

I agree, do you see that most of the article does not have basic information in explanation section / example of code snippets. For example :

if (HttpContext.Current.User.Identity is FormsIdentity)
{
FormsIdentity id =
(FormsIdentity)HttpContext.Current.User.Identity;
FormsAuthenticationTicket ticket = id.Ticket;

                // Get the stored user-data, in this case, our roles
                string userData = ticket.UserData;
                string\[\] roles = userData.Split(',');
                HttpContext.Current.User = new GenericPrincipal(id, roles);
            }

If i consider the above code snippets, How could I know what about FormsIdentity , FormsAuthenticationTicket, HttpContext . However If you suggest me to buy a book first, So why should I use online resources, my goal is to learn within a very short time & all the resource should be in my hand. NOTE: The above code snippets taken for the link below: Authenticate user by roles in asp.net[^]

There comes a point where you are expected to do some research. No book or article, no matter how basic, can cover all the items in depth for you - they'd end up being too big, and would alienate almost everybody because they would be reading a lot of things that they already know. From this example, you have identified 3 things you don't know about. What about HttpContext? What about GenericPrinicpal? What about the use of is? Where do you draw the line?
