Are you new to CodeProject?
-
Hey there - My name is Essam Ahmed - I used to work with CodeGuru site writing the weekly newsletter and book reviews. I work for a very large multi-national computer outsourcing services company where I develop systems monitoring and reporting solutions, internal administrative tools, and do some technical writing. I like to write as well as code – my published work includes an article for ASPToday.com, some book reviews and articles on theCodeChannel.com, and a bunch of older book reviews on CodeGuru.com. I just finished writing my first book, JScript .NET Programming (see the link in my sig for more details), magazine article (to be published early 2002 in a new magazine), and in-print book review (not yet published). I have been lurking at the CodeProject since it started and congratulate Chris on his success in building a unique on-line community. I used to visit the site about one a week and now visit almost daily to see what’s up in the Lounge. I joined the United Devices research project’s CodeProject.com team on September 18 and have managed to surpass Chris’ points :-D ! (If you don’t know what I’m referring to, visit http://members.ud.com/projects/ for an overview and http://members.ud.com/services/teams/team.htm?id=9F9DA7E6-980C-4E43-81BB-C645BF62C32C for information on the CodeProject.com team).

when my boss suggested your site Wooohooo! Well, finally some vindication. You see! All you boss hating, project managment bashing developers. We can be of use sometimes. One of us introduced one of you to CP. :-D One for the management! Your boss sounds totally awesome Melissa, he deserves a hand shake. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001
One for the management So now it's: Developers 555486 Management 1 ;P - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

:laugh: Is 555486 a true random number or a pseudo random number? Hey it is a miracle us managers weedled even one point on a developers website.

555486 is the actual count from the lounge. ;) Well, I just closed my eyes, and hit the numeric part of my keyboard. ;) I have to say that in my last job I was actually manager of R&D... I just didn't like all the meetings and that kinda stuff, so now I'm a developer again. :-D - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Errr, Tony, I would like to use a Life Line please. First the 50/50 split and then I would like to phone Miss Congeniality in Missouri (or is that Missery?).

ROTFLMAO B) Our obvious sensitivy and understanding of other people and their cultural differences? Towlieban? :laugh: Surrrrre C) Our knowledge of programming? Hey I use VB and I still have not been kicked off. No ways can we use this in part of an arguement! D) Our ability to accurately describe various body cavities? What is the fascination with this? E) Our ability both slam and praise Microsoft and Linux in the same sentence? hehe yeah now we are talking. Talent I tell yah! F) Your deep hidden desire to be able to talk dirty without anyone minding? All the bad words are censored :(( G) Your agreement with Chris that use of the word gotten had gotten out of hand?

> use of the word gotten had gotten out of hand? Thanks John, for bringing this up. This has been one of my pet peeves for years. X| Along with misspellings and bad grammar (especially in user documentation). ARGH! Thank you for listening. We now return you to our regularly scheduled broadcast. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com
Oh yes Ravi, you are so right. Really the use of language has just degenerated into a free for all of Orwellian proportions. What can we do about it? How can we educate our fellow inverterbrates as to the benefit of the Queen mums English? How on Earth have we gotten to this terrible state... :laugh: Along with misspellings and bad grammar (especially in user documentation) Japanese and Chinese translations are the absolute best. I love reading the instruction manual for new Korean HiFi products. I can myself laughing. "Do not use hair dryer while asleep" or "Does not work under water" :laugh: I think though that we can give leeway to gramatical use on the Lounge, at least. Otherwise we restrict our god given right to be opiniated and vocal about those opinions. Plus we have quite an international group of people on CP, not all of who have English as their primary language. So some forgiveness must be given (and gotten) to bad English. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

I was just thinking that many of the regulars at Code Project know each other pretty well, but I was wondering about those that have just discovered CodeProject. Are you sitting back, mouth agape, wondering what this is all about, or just watching the inmates in a bemused fashion while you find your way around? In any case, it would be cool if all those who have just signed on droped in to say hi and let us know who you are, where you live and what you do. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Well at first I thought "maybe I should write the Ff statement in C++ just for all the simple undeducated folk out there who don't understand the beauty of VB", but then I thought "naaaah, let them suffer and wonder". :-D Actually I happen to do way too much JavaScripting so I know all about the phuketing annoying difference between == and =. The number of times I get caught out by that is beyond belief. Do you have any idea why they implemented C++ and Java like that? Why not just = and not ==? Didn't you miss the "end if". Once again VB shows it's beauty. You don't need an End If if it is one one line. i.e.
If (origin = "southern hemisphere") Then varResult = "joking"
is the same as
If (origin = "southern hemisphere") Then
varResult = "joking"
End IfVB is so beautiful and way smarter than "donkey's work" C++. :-D Yeah, I know I set myself up everytime I mention VB or put up VB code, but hey us enlightened folk can take the jeers and jokes as we sit back and let VB do our work for us. ;P regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001
>> Do you have any idea why they implemented C++ and Java like that? 1. assignment is completely different from comparison, 2. a=b evaluates to the value of a after assignment, so you can write funny things like while ( (ch = getch())!=-1) { ... } instead of ch = getch(); while (ch!=-1) { ... ch = getch(); } this is the obvious, final, and ultimate proof that C++ is of course superior to all other languages, including but not limited to programming languages, and all the fuzz is only because some VB mules didn's get it yet. ;P

Actually, I used to open your site almost everyday just to look for new programming codes and get some tips... :-O I'm working as a Computer Programmer in a cold city....Winnipeg... :-D Chris, Here's a rose :rose: for you :-O ...for a job well done... keep it up! ;) :rose: Samantha :rose:

Hi, I'm a CAD/CAM software engineer. I'm using CodeProject since the beginning ( Member Since Thursday 6th July, 2000 ) , but the last 2 years, I only used it on work, and because of the cookies ( cookies were disabled in the Cie ), I couln'd use the forums, and couldn't log me in. Today, I'm living in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I'm seeking a job in the CAD/CAM industry or 3d software ( if you have one, you can contact me ;-) ). I'm planning to developp a free CAD/CAM Solid Modeler ( http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/exotk ) using OpenCASCADE ( www.opencascade.org / www.opencascade.com ). I'm also planning to post more articles. I already wrote one ( http://www.codeproject.com/splitter/automaticsplitter.asp ). Stephane

I'm back at a normal job now. 2 years in startup land didn't bring the financial rewards I was expecting :) but the experience was well worth the 16 hour days imho. I'm also playing with some ideas in my spare time - nothing exciting. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to keep up with the whole .Net thing but hope to catch up at some point! Any idea what Zafir is up to? Is/was he @ Dice? Cheers, /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com

Obviously few people here have written any APL code....truely the most elegant language available.

Greetings from Ireland, I discovered CodeProject well over a year ago, when I was learning C++. Then the company decided they wanted me to do (yaaawwwwwn) ASP, so I changed job - now I use Delphi :confused:. The articles used to be realy interesting, but I have absolutely no interest in all things .NET. But, the lounge is definitely the place to visit when feeling a little bored/stressed. Laurence We aim to make the complex simple, and the simple idiot-proof; we just don't aim too good.

I'm unsure which APL you are talking about, I learn't APL (A Programming Language) at age 13, Our teacher liked it because he didn't have to buy many punch cards :-) Later I found learning Assembler Instructions easy compared to APL :-) If it's the same APL you are right it is elegant :-) It is what I would call a write once lingo, You never want to edit/debug it. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies P.S I need beta testers for VMTU.

Variable Maximum Transfer Unit, or VMTU is an algorithm for negotiating the packet sizes passed from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to your Internet TCP connection. The connection speed does not increase; the throughput of the modem is improved.
