The Code Project is
a relatively new site for Windows programmers. The Code Project is about free
source code and tutorials, and is dedicated to helping those IT professionals
who have freely donated their own time and resources to helping others.
The site contains hundreds of free code snippets and tutorials ranging from
simple "how-to" articles all the way up to commercial quality components that
can be plugged into your applications and used free of charge. It is highly
interactive and allows articles to be rated, with each article also having a
discussion area that allows developers to discuss the article, send in
suggestions, or notify others of improvements or bugs.
While mainly catering to the Visual C++/MFC crowd, the site is constantly
expanding and aims to offer a comprehensive online resource for all your Windows
DNA needs. The site itself is taking an "open source" approach by making
available to the community the very scripts that drive the site! This allows
developers to build their own sites with a minimum of effort using a proven
model, as well as allowing developers to send in their updates and modifications
to the site building scripts. This all servers to make The Code Project a true
community effort.
Chris Maunder manages The Code Project and does much of the site programming
as well. In addition to him, Code Project is also run by Uwe Keim (script
writer), Cristi Posea (design and admin support) and two long-time contributors
to the CodeGuru site (Valerie Bradley and Ravi Bhavnani) who provide their
technical expertise in the editing of submitted articles.
For those of you that have been around CodeGuru for a while, you'll certainly
remember Chris as it was he who was instrumental in making CodeGuru as popular
as it is today. Chris ran CodeGuru from 1997 until 1999 and when the site was
sold to EarthWeb last year, he set out to start what is now Code Project.
For their accomplishments, CodeGuru congratulates Chris and the whole gang
and wishes them continued success! From what we've seen thus far, Chris has
turned out another winner!
