Code Project (formerly The Code Project) is a community for
Articles can be related to general programming,
Code Project employs a rating and comment system that helps to filter the good articles from the poor. It also has forums, and is a resource for resolving difficult software development issues.
Rather than being just a collection of samples, contributors are encouraged to explain concepts and ideas, and discuss design decisions. A separate format, "Tips and Tricks", was introduced in 2010 as a place to post short code snippets that don't fit the requirements for an article.
Code Project strives to be a wealth of information and a valuable resource. The site encourages users to share what source code or knowledge they can in order to give back to the community.
Code Project also conducts interviews with notable developers.[3] Code Project also awards Code Project Members Choice Awards in various categories. These awards are based on the votes of Code Project members and editors, reflecting which companies and products application developers value most.[4]
Users may also be awarded MVP status with Code Project, which is presented to a small handful of people.[5] Code Project's Most Valuable Professional award is given to those members who have contributed the most to the community in both article submissions and in answering questions on the site. The award is given annually.[6]
Community
There are non-programming forums, where members can discuss news and sporting events, or comment on the latest thread.[7] There is a high volume of posts to these, mainly in 'The Lounge'. They hit the 10-million-member mark in August 2013.
