Thanks everyone for the input! The reason I'm trying to stay away from polling is that I need it to be "real-time" notifications. I started with a model polling every few seconds but realized that probably was impractical for many reasons. Soon after I posted this question I began experimenting with DropBox (See I said I just needed to walk away from the problem for a moment); I have a file generated server side that drops into a folder synced by DropBox and then any client connected online would see that file pop up on creation. It's crude but that's basically the model I want and it works well until I have a solution finalized. Heck I may just use DropBox for this but it's probably a violation of their terms of service.
These all look like great places to start working.

How about the common chat-room idea where there is a server and clients.
There are tons of examples of various implementations bases on TCP.
In your case if I undestand correctly you only need the server to send messages (xml) to the clients.
If you need some links, let me know.

That sounds like it is exactly what I need. If you know of any great links please do share them.

Hello - Is it possible to have about 1K of space to make notes within our profiles?
|
|
|
|
|
You can post blog entries in your profile space.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

What i meant was 1k space for personal notes for stuff related to THIS website so i dont have to save notes in a notepad file on the desktop.
In those notes i would store info about who i have helped and wether they pursued the advice and gave feedback which would benefit other users in the future or wether they just copy pasted the code and moved onto the next homework assignment.
With the general idea of weeding out the lazybone ones from the comitted ones.

Wouldn't it be easier to just not worry about that?
|

At some point users with a high enough score get (a considerable amount of) personal space.
I guess a couple of Ks would be easily implemented and might be a suggestion for the admin dudes.
But I also think its not a very common requirement.

Hi all, In need of advice. Here is a problem. Our company has got really talented software developers. When they are available we a looking for new projects. That`s why we decided to create a group in social media where the customers and developers can meet. It would be a place where they can share information, ideas and programming techniques.
But how should we attract the right people? What is your criterion for joining groups?

Hello Sveta,
Well that depends on what your looking for - in this case, you should ask yourself this question: To whom am I catering too? What can (my company do) for them?
This may seem like a broad question to ask yourself - but in the long run it will help you find what you are looking for.
Best of Luck!
With Kind Regards,

Huh? As in you have a consultancy and you are looking to find new contracts?
Then you should hire someone who does exactly that.

The talents that make one good at development are unlikely to translate into getting more work. Presumably they are also intelligent enough to realize that they are not the best candidates for do sales, so someone else should be doing it.

Attracting the right people requires that you have a definition for the "right people"
one very nice thing about open discussions is that you will always have surprises and innovation will flourish.
However if you want to filter the people of your choice, you can always make it user based and then you can filter out unwanted users, grant point for activity etc.

Is it possible to post a poll?
I wanted to post a poll to assess what other members make of some of the posts........
For example....
I have read many posts where someone asks a question and other members ridicule them only to be abused in return....
for example........
Like this post
Lets be honest and admit if we all acted our age's instead of our shoe sizes then none of this would happen?
What do you think of this?
Is this a sane point?
Or is it just flossing in the wind and no one gives a monkey's ass about etiquette?
From a Mature member
EDIT:
The thread which says HOW TO POST A QUESTION at the top of nearly every forum states that sarcasm and abuse isnt tolerated......
Yet in approximately 1 in 10 posts there is abuse and sarcasm and bad etiquette...
So the forum moderators ought o back up their words. Thats my view for whats its worth.
I think etiquette is important, after all we all want to be treated nicely and with courtesy and respect as others expect us to treat them the same way.

The example you show is a typical example of a question from someone who is just too lazy/stupid to think about the problem they are trying to solve and explain it in a reasonably detailed way. So the answers are all quite valid, and may teach them to think a bit more.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

When answering a question please:
1.Read the question carefully
2.Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
3.If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
4.If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
Do you not think that there was insult and slapdown and abuse present in that thread?
Or is it just me? Maybe everyone else doesnt care? or have no etiquette or just want to brush it under the carpet?

Hello can someone tell me how to message another code project member as i cannot find any reference to this in the help area.
Maybe thats what the token is for? in the private section of the member profile?
but its not clarified anywhere. thank you.

You cannot do it unless the member allows private messages. Look at any message from the member, and if there is an Email link at the bottom, as there is in this message, then you can send them a private email. But not everyone allows it. You could send them a public message and ask them to contact you through your Email link.
One of these days I'm going to think of a really clever signature.

A chief executive officer was to give the keynote address at one important conference. That’s why he asked one of his top employees to write a twenty minute speech for him. After that important event the chef was furious. “Why did you write an hour long speech for me?” he bellowed. “Half the audience got up and left the hall before I finished my speech!”
The confused employer replied, “Sir, I wrote you a 20 minute speech. But I also gave you the two extra copies you requested.”
The only thing I’m confused about this story is the attentive and concerned audience. I guess in a real life nobody would notice any difference. Am I right? Do you have an experience of attending any really interesting IT training or event? If not, in which one would you like to participate?
Personally, I think nearly all conferences are dull and boring.
What topics are the most interesting for you?
