“A new resource devoted to helping developers program has been
opened at dotcomma.org. The site features programming articles,
contests, resources, source code examples, book reviews, etc.
Worth a look.”
From the dotcomma.org site:
“Dotcomma began production in September 1999 and released to the
public on December 24th of that same year. It was created primarily
by Adam Berlinsky-Schine, along with supporters including Eric Sun
and Aaron Chernosky. It was created to be the final destination for
all programmers, both beginner and expert, looking for technical
support, discussion, challenge, and opportunity. This was also the
origins of our name; a semicolon (dot and a comma) is usually the
last character of statements in most programming languages.”
“So, what can you get out of dotcomma? Well, if you’re a
beginner then you should start with our programming articles. You
can find a wide variety of articles ranging from beginner to
advanced relating to a variety of programming languages. If you are
having trouble with something programming-related, you can search
our developers listing to find someone who can help you. Also be
sure to check out our discussion forums for help. Finally check out
our source code archive for examples of how to use code for various
purposes. Need more help? Perhaps you want to read some book
reviews or resources.”
“Are you a more advanced programmer? Dotcomma has resources for
you too! All of the above features come in advanced versions. There
are many programming articles regarding various advanced aspects of
programming. Source code and discussion forums can be used to your
advantage as well. Perhaps you’d like to get together with another
developer to work on a joint project or to ask an advanced user for
advice. If you think you’re a good programmer, you may want to try
out our challenges. Finally, we hope that you can share your
knowledge with dotcomma. There are many opportunities to write
articles, book reviews, join our technical support team, or
contribute programming source code. If you’re interested, view our
join page. We also hope that you’ll become active participants in
our discussion forums.”
