… Forums: One Million Served
This past week-end the Codeguru forums hit a milestone. The one millionth
message was posted. Equally amazing is that the number of posts is greater than
3 to 1 to the number of threads. This means that people are not only posting,
but they are also responding.
This week also marks my fourth anniversary in working with CodeGuru. A lot of
positive changes have occurred on the site and in the forums during my four
years. It has grown from being a static HTML site to being a site within a
content manager. Automation has been added to allow people to enter articles
online as well as to easily update them. There have been two major upgrades in
the forums along withcountless little fixes.
A number of the positive things haven’t changed, but have continued to be
huge benefits to Codeguru. There continues to be hundreds of new membes each
day. There have always been a number of articles submitted by members just like
you. In the past four years we’ve had articles from industry leaders as well.
This also continues to be the case today; You can find articles from people such
as Kate Gregory, Paul Kimmel, Dino Esposito, Brent Rector, and Jeff Prosise —
justto name a few. Within the forums, our moderators continue to op notch.
CodeGuru’s forums have always had great moderators, and today they continue to
be the best moderators on the Web. As a result, the forums continue to be void
of most spam and advertisements, plus the impact of the newbie and goofy
questions is kept to a minimum.
Last year a number of people were recognized by Microsoft for their
contributions within our forums and round the site. People such as Andreas Masur
and Paul McKenzie were given MVP status for their involvement with Visual C++
and the help they have provided others.
One million posts is a great milestone. While some of these posts predate me,
we’ve come a long way in my four years with this site. I look forward to seeing
where we are in four more years!
Until next week!
Brad!

This week’s posted CodeGuru articles:
==> Collections
– Using Lists and
Collections in .NET
By Mark Strawmyer
The .NET
Framework provides native support for lists and collections. Learn the concept
behind these classes and why they are especially important with the planned
inclusion of generics in version 2.0 of the .NET Framework.

==> Distributed Computing
– [Updated] Asynchronous Socket Programming in
C#
By Jayan Nair
This is a simple
Client-Server application developed to explain the concept of asynchronous
sockets in C#. This extends the socket program to accept multiple clients.
Because this example uses Asynchronous methods, threads are not necessary to
communicate to multiple clients (though internally the asynchronous
communication mechanism uses threads at the OS level).

==> Managed C++
– Managed Extensions: Combining IEnumerable and
IEnumerator
By Tom Archer –
In
some situations, it is beneficial to have a single class implement two
interfaces. Tom Archer illustrates this technique and explains when you would
want to use it.
http://nl.internet.com/ct.html?rtr=on&s=1,13qb,1,9i4p,l5fx,jorm,i5r0
==> Managed C++
– Managed Extensions: Versioning Collection
Classes
By Tom Archer –
Versioning your
collections is important when the data held by a collection can be modified
while a client is enumerating that data. Tom Archer presents a versioning
technique he’s told Microsoft uses internally.

==> Misc.
– Cygwin: Free C++ for Windows
By Daniel Earwicker
Windows users who want to learn C++ often ask if there is
a free C++ compiler. Linux users don’t have this problem, because they have the
GNU tools. But, in fact, the exact same tools are available free from Cygwin,
and if you learn to use them, your skills will be extremely portable. Learn to
install and use the tools, compile a simple program, and write a simple
makefile.

applications need to be good enough to handle in-car navigation? Also, how does
the process of interpreting GPS data actually work? This two-part series will

GPS application that works with a majority of GPS devices in the industry
today.
