Why CP is such a great site.
-
I am of the opinion that CP is a great site. Aside from the wealth of technical information it provides, the thing I like best is that CP gives lowly developers (like me) a forum in which to be heard. I have submitted two articles so far and both of them have been promptly posted. My technical writing isn’t exactly world class, but to my relief the articles have both been well received. This is in stark contrast to writing I have posted to other sites, which in some cases has disappeared without a trace! So what do you think? Is this a great site or what?
Excuse my spelling, but I have been out drinking tonight. Sure I love CodeProject ofr it's excellent articles, amaxing authors (and amins :)) but while it's possibly a tad sad, CodeProject is very close to my heart for the community it has brought together. Nowhere else in the virtual or real world do I feel able to just chat with people inteligantly about pretty much any conceivable subjevct under the sun, and actually have inteligable conversation back again. The last part is very rare to find online, and in the real world I don't have the confidence to participate most of the time. I can say, lookigng bacj over what must be three years by now, that CodeProject is the onlyine online community I partipate in - not jsut actively, but *at all*, and that is not only a testiment to the web site but also to it's great bunch of members. what I have experienced here has helped me in the "real world", both in terms of the knowledge I have gained and the social skills. Codeproject isn;t just a great site - it is ithe best. :bob:

I often wish I could give everyone a peek at exactly what goes on behind the scenes. A lot of it is really boring, some of it frustrating, and occasionally things happen that make us just want to throw in the towel and go back to being contract programmers. Even so, everyone who works on CodeProject does so essentially every waking moment of their lives. Everything we do, everything we think is all about how to make CodeProject better. We dream of what we could do given the funding sites such as Slashdot and SourceForg get, or the hardware that Google has at their disposal. Even so, we wouldn't trade one iota of that for the sense of community that everyone has brought to the site. Almost every day we see examples of developers helping one another - either by posting articles that simply blow us away, or by getting together to help solve a nasty problem, or simply lending a sympathetic ear to a fellow developer in need of some help. I've been doing this for almost 6 years now and still I don't think I would be able to nail down the qualities that CodeProject has that set it apart from other communities. Something in the sum total of everyone here makes this place special. The combined contribution of everyone - from the authors, the guys helping in the forums, the people with the bad jokes in the lounge, the debates in the Soapbox, the suggestions, bug reports, helping hands, news, gossip, the volunteers who edit - all add up to something far bigger than the sum of the total. I haven't had normal working hours for a very long time but all I can say is there is no way I'd rather be doing anything else. I essentially am doing exactly what I would be doing (and was doing) in my spare time. So saying, all thanks, and all kudos should go to everyone who visits and adds their small or large piece to the puzzle that is CodeProject. Yes, this is a great site - simply because of the people who come here. cheers, Chris Maunder
