By complex I mean complexity in design. Having to do a LOT. That's when things start going wrong. A multi threaded prog with 2 threads - simple, huh? You or I or several others here would do it in 10 mins. Now consider a multi threaded prog with 10 threads each doing different stuff, using different technologies like COM, Winsock, RAS, whatever and syncing data between them etc... that would prolly be complex *compared* to the first mentioned app. Of course when you cut it down to little modules, each of them would qualify as a simple thing really. But put together they make a complex unit I'd say. What makes an OS complex? Or a compiler? Taken as units they are simple and taken as individual instructions, even a newbie understand each line. But put them together and together and together, and as the complexity increases the more confusing and awesome it appears to be. Get me? Nish

I kind of have the impression that Codeproject (aswell as CodeGuru) and such sites covers only lots of the basic programming stuff, tons of mfc tutorials for dummies, 1001 version to derive your own class from CListCtrl a.s.o, ... but when I'm looking for industrial programming solutions that deal with the real problems of windows programming the sometimes heavy workarounds to solve the problems Microsoft didn't in MFC :(, then it's hard to find some good articles here. I don't say that this site contains low level articles, actually I surf a lot on this site and found already good solutions :rose: that I use in my applications, but it's not enough. Where is the site with the real deal profound articles that dive deep and where pro's share there precious know-how?
There are some interesting articles at http://www.kuro5hin.org/section/tech[^] Wade back through the list of articles. "The C++ Programmer's Bag of Tricks" "Another Argument For Choosing Composition Over Inheritance In Object Oriented Programming" There are lots of interesting articles and white papers around on "serious" stuff. You just need to spend more time looking.;) Neville Franks, Author of ED for Windows. www.getsoft.com

Plenty of shit I hear :(( 95% of the people loggin on CP don't bother articles. I am part of the remaining 5% who spend time reading an article to follow the construction, and effective demonstration of what is announced in the title. What people want is straight solutions to their very problem, in full context. That's why the message boards is here to stay, and people like Nieztsche:cool:, Sowinski:cool:, Watson:cool:, Dunn:cool:, Losinger:cool:, ... are making it !! Never forget that the search engine sucks. Search "SaveAs" for instance, you would expect you get a result for custom SaveAs dialog and stuff like that. Well instead you get 100 random articles. Quite honestly, I don't get it. I can't see how on earch CP people managed to have the worst search eng on earth (or at least equally competes with MSDN search :((:((:(().
And I swallow a small raisin.
