Site News
We declare the recession over and we're hiring!
The Code Project is looking for one, possibly two Senior Software Developers to show us how it all really should be done. No more hard-coding our connection strings, no more 5,000 line functions, and no more, so I've been threatened, bubble sorting our forum messages. Leave the leading edge to those who require comfort and safety and join us on the bleeding edge. We have cookies.
The catch? You have to be good. Really good, and you have to be able to attend an interview at CodeProject HQ in Toronto. Your own desk, your own computer, maybe a T-shirt, and the chance to shape the best community driven software developer community this side of Montreal. Apply now.
The voting forms for the best articles of last month will be closing soon so please take a moment to give a vote to the most helpful of the helpful.
