Alright Dave, stop re-posting my threads!

Fit like mannie.......I never seen your original post....4 days ago is an eternity and I had only just seen this on the Gizmodo page 
And why the plural, it was only one! So I'm single threaded.....

So, if you do a Bing search for "C# bubble sort", you don't get the code box?
|
|
|
|
|
I don't know the roll out schedule.......!
|

For me it does not work either 
With the query "quick sort" (in Bing)
I just came to Code Project ... haha
this is correct, but ...

Has anyone been part of a focus group? I had the opportunity a long time ago and it was...odd. I don't recall the product, but I do recall I disagreed voraciously with the marketing peeps who seemed to be on a different plane of reality.
This got me thinking (yes, my brain is a scrap heap through which the winds of whimsy occasionally set free an errant idea):
Would anyone here be interested in being part of a Focus Group for IT related topics? I spend a lot of time talking to marketing types about how we're all very smart, very nice, and utterly unforgiving when it comes to marketing people assuming they are smarter than us (OK, maybe I'm a little kinder than that, but you are are smarter than the average bear), and I thought why not share the fun?
If you're interested head to The CodeProject Focus Group[^] and hit "Apply to Join this group".
cheers

Should we focus on kicking the marketing people out?

Not until we've reached 35k feet elevation. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Well, I doubt I'm representative even for programmers.
|
|
|
|
|
Heck, I'm not even representative of a human being, despite walking around inside the skin of one.
|
|
|
|
|
That on the other hand doesn't necessary make you less representative for programmers.

Possibly the first order of business for this Focus Group would have to be to determine what the cross cut of developers look like.
Soon after the Focus group will disband because they can't stop arguing about it

Yes I have and I found it to be a complete waste of time. It was for a redesign of one of websites. Everything I argued against ended up being used anyway, because reasons. Then a year after the new site was launched it was redesigned again, this time with no focus group, because "complaints".

Oh yes - a certain rather well known technology company has used me in the past (used being the operative word here). Let's just say that the products that came out don't represent what we were saying was needed. I'm not going to name the company as I'm friends with a few of their people, and they are good people. It's not their fault that the company behaved like a douche towards us.

No, no, no...
I refuse to be part of any group that would have a guy like me as a member.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

I was part of a focus group a long time ago for a large software company that shall remain nameless being asked about features and UI options in their latest O/S (let's called it "Doors"). Suffice it to say they went almost exactly the opposite way to my, and apparently most of the rest of the focus group's, suggestions.
One thing they did, as an example, was not to show file extensions by default in their file administration program since the marketing people running the focus group said, "It would just confuse the average user; better to hide them." Since then so may virus hits have been successful with programs called, for example, "cutecatvideo.avi.exe" which of course looks like "cutecatvideo.avi" on the list; totally safe right?
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

You've got to leave that behind you, though. Focus groups are useless if they don't completely disregard the past and "focus" on what's on the table.

Can anyone recommend a decent tutorial/book for setting up an Azure web site and database? (ASP.Net and SQL Server). Nothing fancy. Amazon had over 100 pages of books and I can't find anything reasonably simple to follow.
Thanks
