I think it would mainly drain the - no insult intended - "lower end". To me it seems many of the top article providers have a well paying day time job, and use code project to exercise their idea of "free software".

Ok, it's been a while since I've done the whole poem thing, so here's one dedicated to CP and Chris M. (I hope this is taken in good humor). :) Now I lay me down to sleep, I hope like hell my servers keep. If they should fail before I wake, I pray to Bob my site won't flake. Jeremy Falcon

I'm on call this weekend. I hope you don't mind me saying this prayer. I will, of course, give credit where it is deserved if God should answer.

Looks like Earthweb have finally got round to updating www.codeguru.com, still going have to go someway to beat codeproject. Especially in regards to how often articles appear and the quality of their formatting
Definitely seems a little more navigatable and easier to read.

OK boys and girls, gather round... A long, long time ago, back when the world was newer and the grass was greener and internet stocks were on speed, a young man named Zafir Anjum started a website to host chapters of a book he was writing. The site soon became known as the MFC Programmer's Sourcebook and it was Good. Soon, a few caring, sharing, and, in my case, easily distractable people started sending Zafir whitepapers to complement the chapters he had posted, and the site grew. As it grew, more people used his site, and more people contributed. One day it all grew so big that Zafir decided to change the name to CodeGuru and bring a few of us on board properly in order to spread the load and make the site Better. Life was good. The birds chirped each morning, developers read the site, participated in the forums, and sent angry email about broken links. I was running the day-to-day site business while Zafir fed the gnomes running the backend system. And the site grew. Soon Tom Archer came on board to help take some more of the load. There were also about 20 volunteers in varying degrees of busyness handling article submissions. Developers developed, authors submitted, advertisers advertised and links were broken. Then in July 1999 the EarthWeb machinery appeared and swallowed the site. Zafir went back home to India for some rest while the rest of us milled around, gnashing our teeth and wringing our hands now that we had been locked out of the site and could no longer post submissions or fix broken links. There was much wailing. After 3 months David Cunningham and I decided that there had been too much wailing and too much gnashing and so hunkered down and, pebble by pebble, started building a new site. It would be what we always dreamed could be done. It would be fun. It would be comprehensive. It would be running on flaky Windows servers instead of robust Linux servers. And it would be Orange. That day, November 15, 1999, CodeTools was born. Then we discovered CodeTools was trademarked so 2 weeks later CodeProject was born. Or reborn. Or renamed. Or whatever. cheers, Chris Maunder
Thanks, Chris!:-D It's nice to know The Legend at last. Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -
you've just lost your turn..." [sigh] So true... -

I remember that the period between CG being bought (and going down the tubes) and CP starting was a very dark time.

mlog || Agile Programming | doxygenI tend to agree. However, the focus of this site these days seems to be the .NYET shyte and that is far from useful for my company's development future. In case you are wondering why I say this, my company develops real apps for real live machines that make actual products. The .NYET shyte has absolutely no place in that environment. Believe me, we have tried it and it has failed miserably. Things such as near real-time performance actually matter to us. I won't even get started on the load times for apps in the development environment, such as it is. But, you know, different strokes for different folks. :) The Ten Commandments For C Programmers

July 6, 2000 is the day that Bob streaked through the atmosphere, flashing the entire Parliament on a joy ride, then took refuge in Chris' wine cellar. The authorities seized the servers as evidence, along with Chris' milk-crate furniture, as evidence, forcing him to reset the database to show all of us early adopters as joining on that date. That's the day we should adopt as a holiday.:) Heard in Bullhead City - "You haven't lost your girl -

Thanks for taking the time to tell us this Chris. I'd also like to thank you (Chris Maunder), David Cunningham, and everyone else who has contributed to CodeProject in making it the site that it is today. Fantastic job! To everyone else, I think the best way to show your appreciation and support for CodeProject is to continue to submit quality articles and your knowledge in the message boards. Let's help make this site even better.
Thanks Josh :) cheers, Chris Maunder
