Hello,
Is it possible to filter/find codeproject's articles based on a given country?
|
|
|

As Pete says, "no, it isn't"
Why would you want to? They are all written in English to a certain standard, so why would one countries articles be "better" than another's?

Possible - but since your country isn't always filled in properly when you sign up (so a lot of users for example leave it as the default USA) it wouldn't be a lot of use anyway...
[edit]
Thinking about it, with most countries it wouldn't help much: how many people are prepared to up sticks and move 500 or 1000 miles for a job via an anonymous contact from an article?

Check this page but you need to navigate some/many pages to find your fellow countrymen

Hi,
I know I got flamed because I was rude about a language (I did try to apologise but...) this is turning into a cluster-elephant as I don't see how the tests are being done properly. I think it's going to go very wrong, very quick when this this used for bulk testing! I was in on Saturday (amazed how regulars were here as well!). It's going to brake, just how soon and how badly is the question. It throws exceptions that are swallowed, it passes good product (I think) and fails very bad product (I think). The customer and the Boss seem to happy I have told the Boss, he seems to think It is good enough. Can I ask a question, no I had better ask it in the right forum...

Other than the fact you are saddled with the project for the remainder of your employment with your current employer, I'd say mission accomplished. Sometimes we get stuck with projects we wish we hadn't got, but that's a pitfall of being employed in any feild.
I know I can remember days where I worked in C, C++, C#, objective C, VB6, VB.NET or some varient of assembly along with a host of poorly written compilers that were specific to a microcontroller where I thought "...what a steaming pile of dung!" But I can also say I've seen some incredibly clever methods of overcoming even the most difficult endeavors in languages used to do things the language was never intended to do and they made it work.
Take your article on serial ports in C#[^] I thought it was a good solution to a poorly implemented feature. MS never intended to include support for the serial port it was added as an afterthought. I was with a colleague where we spoke with reps from MS back when .NET was introduced and there was no support for the serial port, their reply was "Who uses those?" um, er, well... we do.... What they finally offered up was poorly implemented with barely a mention as to how to use it. Articles like yours are a clever solution that is elegant and quite usable.
You generated the usual controversy of language A vs. any other language. Any language, even with their flaws are used by developers that earn a living developing in that language. To flame a language or to dismiss it as a platform for fools infers that those who use it are fools, however, even fools do not want to be called fools and have a tendency take offense. I know that was not your intent, but it seems that was the result. I took no offense and will often join in the VB sucks mantra, but there isn't a language that is above being disparaged for some reason.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

My thing was I didn't want to cause offense I know VB.NET & C# produce the same code, my point was I was unsure of how to do various things in VB, side point I have seen a VB front end to control some hardware destroy them item (expensive) it was working on because of On Error GoTo Next. The whole thing was my knowledge not the language, I know several very good **.Net programmers (one of who phoned me shortly after my rant and told me the faults with what I had said). As some one said (Griff) I think 'it's not the tool, it the tool that uses the tool'. I'm not a fan-boy of any particular technology (it works, job done!) It was just 'the well it works when it was left with you' then my boss saw what I was having to do to make the one little change he wanted (the 'well, put that there, put that there and your done, see it runs' the reply was 'now try a release build', Dull thump as stack pointer drill through the wall).

Did you learn anything? If you did (Other than you're not a fan of language XX) then it was productive in some way.

The curse of programming.

You can include me in that rather large group.

Oh Boy indeed, well the issue is they don't want/can't afford a complete rewrite (which it needs, badly), [off topic] the Les Paul in your profile pic yours?

The Lea Paul is mine, yes, it is my primary instrument. I got lucky when I bought it from a kid who didn't take real good care of it an number years ago. He had three of them for sale two in nice shape and this one. It was this one that when I put it around my shoulder and grabbed the neck, the notes just came out without effort. I think it was the first guitar I picked up that fit perfectly and I "bonded" with immediately, the condition mattered little and the price was right. I was able to fix the more serious issues like the poor attempts at "upgrading" the hardware, the buckle rash on the back and the numerous small dents from the studded armband don’t effect the playability.
I like the fact that it looks a lot like Jimmy Pages guitar as my playing style reflects a lot of Jimmy's style.

Me I'm a Bass player, I have a Fender Jazz (the first Fender I owned), I picked it out in a store (The Bass Center, now sadly online only it did have a branch in LA) and it, tried fell in love and blew my student grant on it (her)! now I have it (her!) I'm not letting it go. I know exactly what you mean, hopefully you do a Jimmy Page impression properly (Les around the knee caps!), I'm sill on the John Paul Jones kick!!

Yeah, I'm not saying, have a look at some past posts from me you will get it

Movie Quote Of The Day
Non vedo l'ora di uscire da questo piramide con te, perché mi sto cagando addosso.
Which movie?
|
|
|
|
|
"Try it again V."
Quote: questo questa piramide
Veni, vidi, vici.
|
|
|
|
|
I took the quote literally, so it's not my fault it's wrong.
Inglorious Basterds is also wrong spelling, yet correct title ...
|
|
|
|
|
OK, new attempt: "I forgive you". 
Veni, vidi, vici.

You don't need that now, but if I say: "The Italian Stallion Does Berlusconi", then you might... 
BTW: There's one more movie that has mistakenly(?) been left out of IMDb! Stallones first movie!
