Top 10 articles for 2005…so far…
We have an algorithm that displays the top five most popular articles on the
front of the CodeGuru site. Some times it is better to simply look at the raw
numbers for a ranking. As such, in 2005, the following are the top 10 so far
this year. Be aware, that an article published January 1st has had more time to
gather views, so it has a better chance to be at the top of the list.
- Visual C++ 2005 IDE Enhancements (02/07/05)
- Visual C++ 2005 IDE Enhancements, Part 2 (03/09/05)
- Polygon Clipping (01/06/05)
- Three Ways to Retrieve Processor Information (01/28/05)
- Determine Windows Version and Edition (01/06/05)
- PCM Audio and Wave Files (01/18/05)
- Asynchronous Socket Programming in C#: Part II (01/04/05)
- Building Software That Is Interoperable By Design (02/04/05)
- 3D Visualization Techniques for Geo-Referenced Images (02/23/05)
- Encrypt DataSets for Offline Storage (01/28/05)
One March article did make the list. Quickly climbing (12th right now) is a second March article, An Introduction to Assembly Language: Part 1, which was just published on March 15th!
Congratulations to all those who have written a “Top 10” article!
On a similar note, this week I mention three non-programming book in my list
of recently published titles. Rather than going with new programming books,
I thought I’d mention three books that were at or near the top of the bestseller
list and that also sounded extremely interesting. You can see the titles
below!
Until next week!
Brad!
