Nigel Tufnel: You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? [pause] Nigel Tufnel: These go to eleven.
That's right. Ten years of Code Project was epic. But what's better than 10? 11. (Or is that 10++?) For eleven years, the Code Project has been helping make your code a little cleaner, a little faster, a little better... dare I say, a little louder. "Quite exciting, this computer magic!" Tell us your Code Project stories. How did you find CP? What did you learn? What did you share? Who helped you most? And remember, don't code in Doubly. -

Okay, I'll go first. I'm not a programmer - I'm an engineer who sometimes needs to write code to run his own designs. When it first became possible to reach the Internet from where I live - a gateway on a dial-up BBS running on DOS - I had already been stranded for 3 years in a place where there was no library, no bookstore, and no person with a discernable IQ above room temperature. I was going mad. I had a computer, and one sporadic customer who paid me a stipend to code database tasks in Paradox to keep his dodgy Ponzi scheme business running. In search of more information I went looking , the hard way since there was no such thing as Google then. I found a site, CodeGuru I think it was, and joined right about the time Chris was leaving. I don't recall how I found out about CodeProject - maybe an email was sent out... Right away I joined CP simply because the crowd (all 3000 of them or so) seemed much more hospitable. I do recall wracking my brain trying to think of something that I could contribute, but everyone on the site was so much more knowledgeable that I. I wrote Chris to ask if an article using Dynamic C, based on the Rabbit 2000 processor, would be acceptable. He wrote back that it would be most welcome, and that encouraged me to continue with the site. An actual email from the MAN - unheard of! But things came up, and I never finished the project - I couldn't actually afford the parts to finish the hardware, so programming it seemed a waste of time. I spent most of my free time (and a bit at work, once I talked the company into trying out this Internet thingy, and getting hem to let me spend $300 to network the corporate office) reading articles on CodeProject, and tossing in my two cents worth in the Lounge late at night. I learned a lot, made a bunch of friends, and adopted CodeProject as my extended family. I had no other peers, not one soul in my life I could talk to who understood my language. As I learned, I tried writing article after article, but always found my own efforts lacking when compared to the works of other members. But one night in a very drunken state, I got up the guts to post an article - it was terrible, and it is still flawed, just not important enough to fix. Expecting the worst, I awoke to check the responses. Much to my surprise I found, not the well deserved ridicule
Hi Roger, A couple of questions about things of yours I got mixed up with in the past few months: 1. How's the Coral Gum doing? 2. What happened about your water pH anomalies? Cheers from another old fart engineer! Peter

1. As far as I can tell, the Coral Gum is a dead stick. But I'll leave it in the ground until Spring to see what happens. 2. I vaguely recall the pH problem; it may have been really late when I posted. But the pH in our region remains very high, too high to employ residual chorine monitors without using costly buffer solutions upstream of the monitors.

Enjoy the hangover tomorrow..... I first came across the code project while sitting on the Forties Delta platform, i had been searching for code related websites, and for whatever reason ended up at CP. After having a poke around, i registered and only posted a couple of messages over the course of the next 6 years, then about a year ago, I just started getting into it. Probably as a result of my Open Uni studies, and well now can't really do without my daily dose. Well done to all who make this a great place.

Tell us your Code Project stories. How did you find CP? What did you learn? What did you share? Who helped you most? And remember, don't code in Doubly.I'm actually an engineer, somewhat like Roger mentioned above. I started coding in about 1967 (IBM 1620 assembly), learned FORTRAN in 1968, got a Grader job in college doing FORTRAN, then paid my way working as Research Assistant coding numerical reservoir simulators and hydrocarbon phase behavior calculations in FORTRAN. Fortunately I had the good fortune to work along side a CS grad student named Eric Griggs who showed me lots, opened up a whole new world, and I stumbled upon Algol in about 1972 or so. That piqued my interest in programming as more than a way to earn enough to pay tuition, room and board. In grad school I also started doing some real-time programming on minis to control oil field processes. After grad school I went to work doing engineering (with a slide rule!), but when programmable calculators came along, I was one of the first in line and realized that I could apply some of the CS stuff I had picked up to making them jump through hoops for engineering calculations. I solved PDE's and published an engineering paper based on my numerical solutions done on a TI-59 (that still works, BTW). When PC's came along, I wanted to get a FORTRAN compiler, but they were too expensive, so I learned Turbo Pascal, which was easy after learning Algol. I also learned Z80 and TMS9900 assembly, Basic, Forth, C, C++, Prolog, Delphi, and a few other languages. All of this was mostly done beating my head against the wall with books, since I knew no real programmers and there was no interweb. In 1991 I left employment and, since the oil business was in bad shape, I started programming for a living, as well as doing some engineering consulting. I managed to find a nice niche doing technical software, AI, and assorted related things for a variety of industries. Finally someone wanted to buy one of the programs I wrote for my own use as a consultant in the oil business, so I started doing more software development. Still no interwebs, so I was still pretty much on my own, but I did start to study CS more thoroughly. Fast forward to when .NET was established and I decided to learn how to use it and convert all my engineering apps to .NET. By this time I was working in Venezuela and still no one to really learn from. I found CP while Googling around for information and I used the info quietly for a year or two, then realized how nice the group here was and how much I had learned and benefited from "reading the mail," so finally I decided that maybe it was time to try and contribute. Since I had been mostly on m

I think I first used CP when I was searching for some sample projects after I joined my first organisation as a fresher 3 years back. I had to sign up for the code. But I actually started using it about a year back when I was stuck up in some code and had to ask a question here. My actual journey here starts from my 1st post in Lounge. The post was in text speak and I was highly misapprehended. I apologised to the people and my actual learning started from that very moment. After that it has been a great journey. I read articles and answer questions in my free time. And whenever I want to take a break from the work I visit the Lounge (and GIT now). I am always excited about my interaction with such a big and amazing (yes, really! :) ) community. I have learned a lot here and will try to be a part of it, ALWAYS! Cheers!

Although I registered some years ago, I didn't get active on the site until recently. I realize it's entirely my loss that I wasnt active earlier, when I see the richness of knowledge and expertise that abounds here. How much I could have grown had I stuck around CP! *sigh* Better late than never, I guess. Kudos to Chris and the entire CP team for making CP rock.

I came the same way. CG was the best site on the Internet until I was directed here by accident and found the growing number of articles and technical expertise on tap was so much better. The killer was the ease of use and the much better social aspect of CP. This site pulled together the best bits of various other sites (and broke some new ground), so it is no surprise that it is still the real no. 1. As for CG... it seems it does still exist although I haven't seen it in a Google results list for almost a decade.

Thursday, February 14, 2002 (8 years, 9 months), I asked a question about a MFC control. Then got addicted to the MFC/C++ Forum. Then missed the .NET train, but found my way in the Lounge, even if I was tempted by the dark side of the force in the Soapbox aka Soapbox 1.0 aka the Backroom. And now, I probably know more people on CP than in real life. Happy Birthday :bob: and thanks to Chris & team, and to the hamsters. :rose:
