How did you find find CodeProject?
-
In the old times where you heard lots of silly noises to connect to the Internet, I was programming a VC++ program and searching for help and articles to solve doubts found :bob: and you know... it's been great since then. Back in those days that there were codeguru and then codeproject, :bob: was much more friendly and rapidly it started growing and growing becoming better and better every day.

Hi All, Stuff got in the way yesterday (work related) so I couldn't finish the message I was posting about Bob's birthday, I found him and the site via a Google search for an accurate millisecond timer in VB6, bit left field but the standard timer only went to 0.5 of a second, the unit I was working on spewed data at 0.25 which made it a little unreliable (this was serial port related!). :bob: had the answer all was good delivered the project everyone happy!
from Gamedev.net, people there recommended CP articles on several occasions.

I toined left at Albekoiky. Nah, a colleague who was a recent college grad at the time told me about it.

I don’t know what is the reasoning for a double “find” in the title, I for one have my copies slightly different then the original

I was a former denizen of codeguru.com and one day I got an e-mail from Chris saying he had just started a new site and I was pre-registered for it. That new site was this one. The member count was pretty low then, less than one thousand as I recall, but it increased rather rapidly.

Like a number of replies here looking for code help. It was Visual Basic 6. Think I asked a question NOT IN THE Lounge This thread begs the question. Why do you participate in CP and what do you get from it? At my level of expertise and only using VB.Net I participate (contribute) very little. What I do get from CP is reading the view of some very intelligent and funny people who just happen to code and are associated with the software industry from around the World.

I needed to add database processing to a program I was working on in C++ back around 2004 I think. I asked a colleague if he knew of a library that took care of much of the tedious low level stuff. I just wanted to connect, query, process recordsets and such in my code. He told me to check out a site called CodeProject. I did and found an article and code that seemed to be written for my exact use case. I was able to easily include and use it in several C++ projects that needed DB access. I liked the atmosphere and attitude of the whole site and have remained a member ever since.

Was looking for some code to solve a problem, and a CP article popped up in the search.

Before CodeProject there was CodeGuru, created by Zafir Anjum. Chris and a bunch of us contributed several articles to that site. In 1997, Chris figured he could build a better site - and he was right. A bunch of us volunteered, but Chris did most of the heavy lifting. The early volunteers managed specific sections (there were only about a dozen when the site started). I managed the MFC Controls section which was near and dear to my heart and designed the site's joke post icon. Since then CodeProject has grown beyond what most of us expected, and as we know is now one of the de facto sources of information for C# devs. Congratulations to Chris and Dave and the CP team! /ravi (Member 191)

As many others making a search about something during my final project in college. I found the help of some good samaritans here. A time later I had a long break. Then I one day came back again, and never left.
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I ended up here after googling (long ago) for some code (possibly javascript to create a bar-graph in a web-page). I stayed for the Insider News (and Kent's regular "name that earworm" challenge) and have evolved into a regular Lounge-lurker.

I needed to finish a project, but being too lazy I googled "plz send codz". And here I am almost 20 years later doing the same.

Nice! There's something special about having the opportunity to be an early employee at a successful company. To say it's a learning experience is an understatement. /ravi
