Site News

We broke through the 30,000 article mark last week - what an amazing achievement for the community! Ten years ago we were amazed at the number of contributions we were getting a week (dozens!) and today we're seeing hundreds each week, not to mention Technical blogs we aggregate and Tips n' Tricks for those with quick-fixes. Incredible.

Speaking of amazing, David Cunningham, my partner in crime, has joined the ranks of the moustachioed this month as part of Movember. He grows a moustache, we all donate in order to ensure we can point at laugh at him all month, and the funds go to prostate cancer research. Click the link within the CodeProject logo on the site.
