When it received the Web Resource of the Month award from CodeGuru.com Ben Burnett --------- On the topic of code with no error handling -- It's not poor coding, it's "optimistic" ;)

I used to use Code Guru and got annoyed that it constantly seemed to lose my registration details. I'm sure someone there referred to CP and I came over. The articles were good, although the forums were a little slow, so I started coming here to answer any questions I could ( however badly :)). I initially kept using Code Guru to ask my questions due to higher traffic there, but as time progressed Code Project gathered momentum and I've not been back there for a long, long time. Code Project has never lost my password, and I had to create a new one the past two times I went to Code Guru. I wrote them an email about it and the essence of their reply was 'get stuffed'.

I beleive I first found out about The Code Project during a conversation with Stas Levin (BCGSoft) back when the BCGControlBar library was in version 4.7x. I found out about BCGControlBar from the online MSDN Library, after reading Stas's post in the Wordpad example. So, I found The Code Project very much by accident - but once I was here, I was here to stay. David Wulff dwulff@battleaxesoftware.com

Ya... me too came to the site after it got that award from CodeGuru.com

[Wayne Fuller]

I started coming to the site because Chris was a member of the Windev mailing list and would answer questions about Windows programming. And boy would he plug the site :-O Wayne

[Chris Maunder]

And boy would he plug the site Moi? :-D cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

[Bruce Duncan]

I've been lurking here since the beginning (well almost). I migrated over from CodeGuru.

[Anders Molin]

Someone at pocketprojects.com said something about codeproject.com, in one of the forums. I have been here since :) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

[Tibor Blazko]

the same t!

[Jonas Larsson]

I was doing my master thesis and spent a lot of time at www.godeguru.com. Then all of a sudden there was alot of remarks about "the other site" called codetools that was about to open soon. So I went there when it opened, and even though I could never get the forums to remember my settings ;P I stuck around. I rarley post, but I come here 3-4 times a day to check new articles and read the lounge (which is always entertaining :-D )

[James Pullicino]

Same Here (2b || !2b)

[Paul Watson]

Same here, nice eye-catching aD in MSDN. OMG, could Microsoft have done something redeemable? i.e. Have a mag which CodeProject advertises in which developers actually read? WOW! ;) regards, Paul Watson Cape Town, South Africa e: paulmwatson@email.com w: vergen.org

[Tim Smith]

Hmm? Was I the only one who got a leter from Chris along with a $100 check saying "Visit my site!!!" Tim Smith Descartes Systems Sciences, Inc.

[realJSOP]

I don't want to start a thing between you and Chris, but he paid me $250 not to any more... :-)

[Paul A Howes]

I was searching for some Win32 programming information in Google, and kept getting results that included links to The Code Project. So, I started looking around, liked what I saw, signed up, and posted my first article last week! :-) -- Paul "I drank... WHAT?"

[Nick Carruthers]

Same here. Kind of funny how it has since pretty much displaced CodeGuru. Oh how the times have changed. I sent in the two articles I had posted on GodeGuru, and soon after got an enthusiastic "thank you" from Chris. That was nice. :-) Nick

[Stan Shannon]

I did a search on "Australians with attitudes".

[Todd Smith]

From CodeGuru. I find searching the forums etc. to be much easier on CP. I rarely go back to CodeGuru. I visit CP almost daily now.
