Are you new to CodeProject?

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)
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. One of us introduced one of you to CP. :-D One for the management!

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.
Speed up your internet connection with 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 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!

Hi, I'm Mustafa Demirhan. I am 23 years old and I am from Turkey, the most beautiful country in the world :) However, currently, I am living in Princeton, NJ. I am in US for my graduate study (in Electrical Engineering Dept. in Rutgers University). I've been at CodeProject for more than 1.5 years. I do love programming and I am actively using VC++ and Java (and sometimes Assembly). Once upon a time, I knew VB but I totally forget it :) I am using MS Visual C++ for more than 3 years and programmed Macro Angel using VC++. I really want to contribute articles but I am always afraid of making mistakes. Anyway, I love CodeProject and want to thank you for such a great site, Chris. Kind regards Mustafa Demirhan

In fact, it is not 1.5 years. Instead, it is 1 year and 2 months ;P Mustafa Demirhan

Ahhh now, it depends on whether you believe in god or God. This is a rhetorical question to trick newbies, right? ----------------------------- The sermon on the mount... Man 1 : Hear that? Blessed are the greek. Man 2 : The greek? Man 1 : Well apparently, he's going to inherit the earth.

This is a rhetorical question to trick newbies, right? Well, if they answer correctly then they get admitted to the inner circle.

Hi, I'm Ravi Bhavnani and live and work in Massachusetts. I've been at CodeProject since its early days and hope to return to contributing articles and helping out (really, Chris!), now that I've left the insane world of startups. I develop software that simulates and verifies the behavior of chips. The work is fascinating and forces me to dredge thru my 20 year old EE books! In my spare time, I run my own software company and pretty much live the life of a geek. My detailed specs (as if anyone cares) can be found at http://www.ravib.com. /ravi "There is always one more bug..." http://www.ravib.com ravib@ravib.com
Ah ha! There is another Masshole on CodeProject! I knew I couldn't be the only one ;) I live in Wakefield and work in Reading. Catch you later! -- Paul "I drank... WHAT?"

Why "Yikes"? :| Have you've been here in Winnipeg? I guess you don't like this place because of the cold weather, eh? Me too.. :) but I've learned to love this city... :) :rose: Samantha:rose:
I keep managing to spend my summers in Toronto - meaning the depth of your winter. Last year I left home in Oz it was 37C with sun bright enough to melt the tarmac. 34hrs later I arrived in Toronto to -30C windchills. Oh My God. I was (am) a Weather Network junkie and always remember Winnepeg as being under 10m of snow and ice. Hence: yikes! cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)
