The Code Project - Free Source Code and Tutorials

The Code Project - Free Source Code and Tutorials

This website is an absolutely amazing resource for programmers. I have found it to be useful for answering basic questions such as "just how does the foreach construct look in C#" to "Is there anything Office provides that will let me programmatically access an Excel spreadsheet file (i.e. a .xls file)"?

You can't always count on the code you find being correct or that what you are reading is necessarily the best answer to the issue. Sometimes clear amateurs are writing articles that would be best ignored. However, CodeProject articles are correct enough most of the time to be extremely useful as a resource. The wide range of topics covered is directly a result of the less-stringent filter they use when allowing an article to be posted on the site. One simply needs to be sure if you're going to count on something you read about within its pages that you have double-checked the validity of it.
