Administrator, Manager, Author, Member
I direct The Code Project's business activities, such as strategic direction, partnerships, and vendor relations. I started photo-etching circuit boards when I was 8, and at 11 was haunting the halls and computer science labs at the local college so much that I was invited by Professor Wayne Ayott to audit his software and hardware design courses.
 
Over my career I have used C# , C++, Win32, MFC, Assembler, Basic, and Clipper, on applications for the military, commercial ventures, medical research and the labour movement. Through my medical informatics work I came to know what real-time and mission-critical really mean… just try being part of the critical path when a woman goes into labor. 
 
I have been honoured to receive many business, industry and leadership awards including being named an Exceptional Young Entrepreneur (Profit Magazine) and to the list of Who's Who in Canadian Business. The companies I started have been recognized as the Fastest Growing companies in Canada (Profit Magazine), as the Fastest Growing North American Technology Companies (Deloitte & Touché) and named as a Top 100 Innovator and Leader by SDTimes in every year from 2003 to 2008.
 
Here's my professional profile on LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcunningham
 
In 2007 Microsoft acquired technology from one of my companies, Dundas Data Visualization, for inclusion in SQL Server 2008.
 
I live in Toronto and enjoy photography, scuba, food, riding my Honda Nighthawk motorcycle, and am trying to learn enough about wine to not be completely lost with a wine list in my hands. I find myself spending a lot of time these days thinking about the world our children will inherit, and so have been paying a lot of attention to alternative energy (wind, solar), robotics, education and (for the first time in my life) politics.

Administrator, Manager, Author, Member
I'm the Chief Operating Officer at The Code Project and I'm responsible for managing day-to-day activities as well as guiding new projects.
 
I'm a University of Waterloo Electrical Engineering graduate and I've been in the technology field forever. The first software I ever wrote was a charting application in BASIC running on the CP/M-80 operating system on a Sanyo MBC-1200 (4MHz Z-80 CPU). My programming experiences includes assembler, Turbo Pascal, dBASE III, Clipper, VB/VB.NET, C#, C/C++, Java, ASP.NET, Windows Forms, WPF, and Silverlight. I also spent 7 years at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond as lead evangelist and group manager engaged with the ISV and development tools communities.
 
I now live in Burlington and in my spare time I play Rugby and hang out with my two boys.

Chris is the Co-founder, Administrator, Architect, Chief Editor and Shameless Hack who wrote and runs The Code Project. He's been programming since 1988 while pretending to be, in various guises, an astrophysicist, mathematician, physicist, hydrologist, geomorphologist, defence intelligence researcher and then, when all that got a bit rough on the nerves, a web developer. He is a Microsoft Visual C++ MVP both globally and for Canada locally.
 
His programming experience includes C/C++, C#, SQL, MFC, ASP, ASP.NET, and far, far too much FORTRAN. He has worked on PocketPCs, AIX mainframes, Sun workstations, and a CRAY YMP C90 behemoth but finds notebooks take up less desk space.
 
He dodges, he weaves, and he never gets enough sleep. He is kind to small animals.
 
Chris was born and bred in Australia but splits his time between Toronto and Melbourne, depending on the weather. For relaxation he is into road cycling, snowboarding, rock climbing, and storm chasing.

Administrator, Manager, Author, Member
Jeff has worked with personal computers since the late seventies, when he learned to program BASIC on an Apple II (not an Apple II Plus, mind you). Since then, he’s learned Pascal, Fortran and VB/VB.NET – all of which have been enough to show him that he’s not a born developer, but he can play one on TV, so to speak. He's working to make The Code Project even more valuable to community members and help bring new services online to make The Code Project even better.
 
Jeff has worked with developers and developer communities for over a decade.
 
All things considered, he'd rather be cycling.

I joined The Code Project because I'm in total awe of The Code Project site, community, staff and exec team. They are some of the smartest people the industry has to offer (IMHO).
 
I come to The Code Project with years of software and advertising sales experience. When I'm not working, I'm hiking or running with my dog, Rocco!
 
I’m dedicated to serving The Code Project developer community for a very, very, very long time. Wink | ;-)

I have worked for other developer Web site companies within the past nine years of my career in advertising sales, but Code Project is by far the best company I have come across. The community involvement with the product is absolutely fantastic. The staff is full of the most brilliant minds in the industry. I’m so happy to be part of the CodeProject! I’m based in NYC, so when I’m not working I can be spotted in central park with my adorable pug or shopping at the fabulous stores nearby.

I'm not a developer but I'm extremely proud to say that I work with the best of the best. What I do and how I contribute to this fantastic team is via my advertising and marketing skills, a media maven if you will. I have many years experience in both online & print technology media. Previously in business development, my focus is now on building relationships with our Lake Quincy Media partners and more recently with The Lounge Network. Another key component of my role involves the execution and success of our large scale advertising campaigns & helping our advertisers achieve their marketing goals.

GeneralWindows 8 Developer Preview: A First Perspective Pin
Wednesday, September 14, 2011 8:17 AM
via Jeff Hadfield, who's at BUILD keeping an eye on things for The Code Project:
 
By now, and especially if you have been following @thecodeproject on Twitter, you’ve seen a lot of Tuesday’s Windows 8 developer preview news.
Microsoft billed this developer-focused launch as a “new opportunity for developers.” And that it is, but exactly what the opportunity is remains to be seen. To their credit, the Microsoft teams have certainly done a lot of work on building new UI foundations, making touch an equal partner with keyboard/mouse. And the new hardware is also impressive. But while the pieces are all there, many questions remain to be resolved between now and when Windows 8 finally ships (we’re guessing in about a year).
 
There’s plenty of coverage about the new UI, and a lot of it can be found on the official Windows sites. We’ve taken careful notes – and we’re happy to add any commentary if you’d like, but rather than rehash the #bldwin Twitter hashtag (re-hashtag?), a few words of perspective might be better.
Our friend David Platt reminded us of his recent MSDN Magazine article and emphasized his admonitions there – about making sure the war hasn’t moved to new fronts while Microsoft continues to fight the same battle in the same place. Has the market moved on? Maybe. Can Microsoft lead the market again? Maybe. The company has a strong history of letting others blaze the way and then stepping ahead, much like stepping in front of a parade already in process. (Which in turn reminds us of the final scenes of Animal House, but with less debauchery.)
 
Developer buzz is mixed – excitement about the opportunity, sure, but fears also about it being too late. Here’s the thing: Windows still has dominant market share worldwide. In today’s presentations, Microsoft claimed over 450 million Windows 7 licenses sold, making it – as of last Friday – more in use than Windows XP. That’s a lot of seats, and a lot of opportunity for line of business apps and consumer apps.
 
But many, including me, express some skepticism about how ubiquitous and affordable touch-based PCs will become in the short term. Will they be more than a niche product? Perhaps, but the iPad, for example, is still not affordable for most. Get a nice Windows 8 slate/convertible at the $400-$500 USD price point, though, by next fall, and you’ve got a winner.
 
Again: metric tonnes of great new features and tonnes of “goodness” included in the APIs and UI guidelines. We’re anxious to get to play with the bits. Unsure how they will play on today’s hardware systems – dev bits and the Windows 8 slates were not available for press, so we won’t be trying any apps on our own. Let us know how you fare.
 
Finally, a few useful articles:
Sorry Apple, Windows 8 ushers in the post-post-PC era[^] The point here? That a capable computing device should be all things to all people, not a dumbed-down device that’s hard to do “real work” on. Agreed: I like my iPad, but as an authoring tool it’s a train wreck.
 
My friend Sean Gallagher has a more cynical look[^], but wisely points out that the big news is that Web developers who know JavaScript and HTML are now on an equal footing with traditional .NET (C#/C++/VB) devs. Interesting, and at least one of my developer friends expressed some concern about how that will affect traditional Windows developers. As I see it, Microsoft had no choice but to try to co-opt these “Web developers” in order to increase market share. The overall worldwide growth in ‘developers’ in general is coming from areas outside of the traditional .NET stack – so this is really their only choice.
 
There’s also a nice post at the Windows Team blog that shows a bunch of the UI updates[^]. If you can’t spare the time to watch the keynote (two and a half hours, seriously), read this but grab a few minutes to see the UI in motion in one of the videos.
 
And let’s say you’ve downloaded the bits already[^]. What to do? Try our friend Scott Hanselman’s guide (you’ll put your eye out, no warranties express or implied, YMMV) to running Win 8 from a VHD[^].
 
As always, let us know your experience, and post your tips and how-tos on the site.
 
GeneralBUILD 2011 day 1 notes Pin
Tuesday, September 13, 2011 2:49 PM
We were at Microsoft's BUILD conference keynote address today and had a chance to see (and tweet about) some of the features revealed for Windows 8. Here's a rundown of the highlights:
 
Starting out, Steve Sinofsky discussed WIndows 8 on ARM processors, not that it's "equally at home on ARM and x86". Hardware graphics acceleration is "baked in" to the OS.
 
As you've probably already heard - it wasn't a secret going into BUILD - the Metro UI introduced with Windows Phone 7 is being adopted in Windows 8. The Metro-style even extends to the remote desktop app, which supports remote touch.
 
Of course, you're probably interested in the developer side of things. To paraphrase a tweet from @DavidJKelley: programming becomes a life style choice in Windows 8 - HTML5, Silverlight, C++/XAML its all good. The new version of Expression Blend will now work with HTML5/CSS as well as XAML, and they demo'd converting a Silverlight app to a Win8 app by just changing some using statements.
 
Developers also now have acces to SkyDrive access just like local file system through APIs.
 
There's a lot more, and we'll be covering much of it in the Daily Insider[^] tomorrow, so make sure you're subscribed.
 
Finally, if you're ready to play, you can get your Widows 8 dev preview tonight at dev.windows.com. No activation needed (though no support provided, either).
