Are you new to CodeProject?

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

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)
Hi, I've been reading CodeProject for a while but recently discovered the lounge, which just about gets me through a days work. I'm Head of Development at E-creation (web development company) just outside London. I'm now shifting the company to .NET, specifically ASP.NET and C#. Cheers, Paul Barrass

Hi! I'm Luca from Bari, a really nice place in the south of Italy. I am not really new to CP, since it's nearly a year that I use it... You are great! Now I discovered how funny is reading the Lounge... here there aren't many programmers, or maybe since I'm seventeen many of my friends are not really interested in using the PC for something more than games... :) I'm working on a program to display maths functions and to do a little study upon them - nothing really new and Derive is simply inimitable, but hey I learned a lot writing this program!!! It is called Equation Editor. Although my site is in Italian, this software is available both in Italian and English... maybe you can give it a try, but consider that the online version is nearly half a year old. I don't seem able to finish anything! Every time I reach 90% of development, something forces me to rewrite it from scratch!!! Is this a common issue? Or that's just me being lazy? :) :) :) When I feel too stressed to work on this software, I use eJay to create some dance/techno songs. Nothing really great, but I'm learning... :) Ok I have finished this nonsense message (BTW, my first post)... bye and thanks to all!!! P.S.: Sorry for my English, that's the result of three hours/week of study... :) Luca Leonardo Scorcia, alias The Keejay vrkeejay@hotmail.com http://zip.to/kojak (only in Italian)

Wow I didn't know any of you yougun's knew anything about APL, Let alone used it. I had a job interview years ago, and the interviewer thought I was taking the Piss when I said I had some APL experience. (The Noddy didn't believe the lingo existed. It sure was a great way to learn, but I too would have prefered a keyboard with stickers on it, instead of cards. :-) Regardz Colin J Davies P.S I need beta testers for VMTU.

I've been here (CP) around a month, but i'm quite new to the lounge. I'm a 19-year old student from Wales, UK. I've always enjoyed programming and the rewards it brings, much to the amusement of my fellow classmates. Started programming with AMOS on my amiga about 10 years ago. After about a year, i sold it, and didn't program again until around 3 years ago, where Pascal was introduced at college. I got into C++ in my spare time, and have recently warmed to MFC, which i'm really enjoying because it's improving my c++ skills simultaneously. So, hello to anyone reading this. It's a nice little community you've got here. :) --- Simon decided that his 'ironlung' nickname sounded kinda stupid, so he decided to use his real name

I've been around CodeProject ever since the fallout of CodeGuru. I'm a 22-year-old engineering student at UCLA (her in the United States) and work as a part-time programmer (C++/MFC/ASP/VBScript) there. I have about 4 more classes to go before I need to jump into the real world and "feel your pain.":) Frank

You're having fun at my expense, aren't you? *hangs head in shame* Yes, alas, yes, you have foiled and humbled me. :(( Forgive and forget? It was the end of the day and John had not posted anything worthy of ribbing, your post however just sat up and begged to be ribbed. Actually, to be honest, I get annoyed reading poorly written posts myself. Though that does not mean my posts are written at all well. Double standards, I know :) our God given right to be opinionated Ahhh now, it depends on whether you believe in god or God. Does it not? :-D > the Queen mums English the Queen mum's English You should be an editor or an English teacher.

I was trying to paraphrase the sort of pr0n spam I get from ICQ every day. I got a total classic yesterday in my inbox, some porn site claims to have all four of Bin Laden's wives in a 'lesbian sandwhich'. Can anyone say 'Photoshop' ???

CP has shaped & expanded my understanding of Windows programming in a variety of ways that it is impossible for me to put it down in words here. I've drunk from the CP well so many times whenever i felt thirty for knowledge but have never posted any article here -
this has been niggling me for quite some time that i start to feel a little guilty:(. Hopefully, i'll give something back in return soon (for whatever my cent might be worth). Thanks for tuning in. Chen Venkataraman -

I guess I should say something, though the heady rush of seeing John use a quote from me as a sig makes me feel like an old timer. :) Actually, I only discovered CP a few months back. I stumbled in while looking for a forum system that I approved of. I looked around a bit and stayed. I have been checking in most every morning since. I own my own consulting firm, and I take full time contracts outside of my firm occasionally to supplement my income. I do web development, security analysis, systems analysis, and network design. I know that some people around here like to point out that they are VB coders and that the "Real Programmers" around here do not pick on them very much. While this is true, I would like to add that I work in PHP, ASP, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and some SQL. I am even less of a "Real Programmer" in most people's eyes than the VB guys. ;P I do not consider myself a "Real Programmer", but nobody messes with me TOO much when I open my yap. ;) I was one of the exalted ranks of "Real Programmers" many eons ago. Dinosaurs still roamed the earth and we only had soda to drink while coding. The more progressive options of Bawls and XTZ Tea had not been invented yet. We watched Dr. Who instead of Red Dwarf. I wrote my code in Pascal and assembly and loved it, I even taught classes in it. Then I was seduced by the dark side of systems work and strayed from the holy art of programming. After years away, I have returned to development and hope to someday become a "Real Programmer" once more. For now, though, I am content to lurk on CP and pretend to know something. :-D Jason Jystad Cito Technologies www.citotech.net >------------------------------------------------< "Luckily," he went on, "you have come to exactly the right place with your interesting problem, for there is no such word as 'impossible' in my dictionary.

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).

Hey Essam - it's great to hear from you again! I had to reinstall my OS and haven't reinstalled UD. My box is so slow that *anybody* can beat my score ;) So are we going to see some JScript .NET articles and tutorials from you? ;) Take care and stay in touch! cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

Hi CodeProject guys! I'm Samantha... I've been surfing your site since February this year...:) It's really a pretty cool site.... :cool: very informative... 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:
Thanks Samantha ;) Winnepeg? Yikes! cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

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.

I was spoiled....I learned to code with it on a terminal system.....for some strange reason my university was 100% sold on APL. I've heard that IBM loved to hire engineers from my university because of the APL experience! I saw some APL code which generates VML plotting code about a year ago and I thought -- gosh....if only I still had my APL manuals! As for APL being a bit.....cryptic.....well it can't be worse the Perl!
