Code Project goes to 11

Nigel Tufnel: You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? Marty DiBergi: I don't know. Nigel Tufnel: Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Marty DiBergi: Put it up to eleven. Nigel Tufnel: Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Marty DiBergi: Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? [pause] Nigel Tufnel: These go to eleven.
That's right. Ten years of Code Project was epic. But what's better than 10? 11. (Or is that 10++?) For eleven years, the Code Project has been helping make your code a little cleaner, a little faster, a little better... dare I say, a little louder. "Quite exciting, this computer magic!" Tell us your Code Project stories. How did you find CP? What did you learn? What did you share? Who helped you most? And remember, don't code in Doubly.When a journalist starts asking "friendly" questions, I start getting antsy. What is your purpose in this?

I think I first used CP when I was searching for some sample projects after I joined my first organisation as a fresher 3 years back. I had to sign up for the code. But I actually started using it about a year back when I was stuck up in some code and had to ask a question here. My actual journey here starts from my 1st post in Lounge. The post was in text speak and I was highly misapprehended. I apologised to the people and my actual learning started from that very moment. After that it has been a great journey. I read articles and answer questions in my free time. And whenever I want to take a break from the work I visit the Lounge (and GIT now). I am always excited about my interaction with such a big and amazing (yes, really! :) ) community. I have learned a lot here and will try to be a part of it, ALWAYS! Cheers!
..Go Green..

Although I registered some years ago, I didn't get active on the site until recently. I realize it's entirely my loss that I wasnt active earlier, when I see the richness of knowledge and expertise that abounds here. How much I could have grown had I stuck around CP! *sigh* Better late than never, I guess. Kudos to Chris and the entire CP team for making CP rock.

Wishes for CP. Great job by chris, Sean, others.,:thumbsup:. Almost I missed Codeproject for a decade since it was started :( I just joined this community this year. Anyway I'll rock here at least 1 or 2 decade(s) if possible. :cool:

I came the same way. CG was the best site on the Internet until I was directed here by accident and found the growing number of articles and technical expertise on tap was so much better. The killer was the ease of use and the much better social aspect of CP. This site pulled together the best bits of various other sites (and broke some new ground), so it is no surprise that it is still the real no. 1. As for CG... it seems it does still exist although I haven't seen it in a Google results list for almost a decade. The landing page is a ad wall and the random article I clicked on looks like a NYT piece.

Thursday, February 14, 2002 (8 years, 9 months), I asked a question about a MFC control. Then got addicted to the MFC/C++ Forum. Then missed the .NET train, but found my way in the Lounge, even if I was tempted by the dark side of the force in the Soapbox aka Soapbox 1.0 aka the Backroom. And now, I probably know more people on CP than in real life. Happy Birthday :bob: and thanks to Chris & team, and to the hamsters. :rose: -

Ah, yes,now I remember... getting old is a bitch. But I think I've found a semblance of an answer. I was reviewing well samples, rather than tap water, just yesterday. The calcium and magnesium levels are rather large, and total hardness is around 1,100 mg/l. That, I think, explains the high pH in general, but I still don't know why it rises from wellhead to tap. Oh well, a little mystery makes things interesting. :)

And thx a zillion...CP helped me to switch tech in no time...(went from private language to .NET in no time) Wish you not +1 but at least +10 more good years... Thx guys!

It's a great place for non-tech guys like me to learn in a friendly atmosphere and share what we learn with others. CP is, I think, the best site of its kind.

You should have been careful. If all the regulars start seriously replying to each of these questions, those shiny new servers would not be the same. :) Just went to my profile to check since when I am here and it says 3 Years 7 months (wow!). I have learnt something new every single visit to CP all these years. Cheers :beer:

Okay, I'll go first. I'm not a programmer - I'm an engineer who sometimes needs to write code to run his own designs. When it first became possible to reach the Internet from where I live - a gateway on a dial-up BBS running on DOS - I had already been stranded for 3 years in a place where there was no library, no bookstore, and no person with a discernable IQ above room temperature. I was going mad. I had a computer, and one sporadic customer who paid me a stipend to code database tasks in Paradox to keep his dodgy Ponzi scheme business running. In search of more information I went looking , the hard way since there was no such thing as Google then. I found a site, CodeGuru I think it was, and joined right about the time Chris was leaving. I don't recall how I found out about CodeProject - maybe an email was sent out... Right away I joined CP simply because the crowd (all 3000 of them or so) seemed much more hospitable. I do recall wracking my brain trying to think of something that I could contribute, but everyone on the site was so much more knowledgeable that I. I wrote Chris to ask if an article using Dynamic C, based on the Rabbit 2000 processor, would be acceptable. He wrote back that it would be most welcome, and that encouraged me to continue with the site. An actual email from the MAN - unheard of! But things came up, and I never finished the project - I couldn't actually afford the parts to finish the hardware, so programming it seemed a waste of time. I spent most of my free time (and a bit at work, once I talked the company into trying out this Internet thingy, and getting hem to let me spend $300 to network the corporate office) reading articles on CodeProject, and tossing in my two cents worth in the Lounge late at night. I learned a lot, made a bunch of friends, and adopted CodeProject as my extended family. I had no other peers, not one soul in my life I could talk to who understood my language. As I learned, I tried writing article after article, but always found my own efforts lacking when compared to the works of other members. But one night in a very drunken state, I got up the guts to post an article - it was terrible, and it is still flawed, just not important enough to fix. Expecting the worst, I awoke to check the responses. Much to my surprise I found, not the well deserved ridicule
Oh man! That was soooooo looooong... My head hurts. :P
