I've done a couple of small Apex projects, but only working by myself. I'd like the chance to work with someone else so they can point out any really bad habits or mis-understandings I have.SydOraclehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08828771074492585943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21122514.post-71320278424398565062010-12-02T00:21:12.314+01:002010-12-02T00:21:12.314+01:00Stew and Johannes,
Thanks for your time to provid...Stew and Johannes,<br /><br />Thanks for your time to provide me with some feedback. <br /><br />Johannes; my first reaction was, hmm popups people might just click away and what about security. But let me think this through for some time and I'll come back to that after the 10 posts so you see all the other new features that are in and you probably understand more why I consider the security aspect.<br /><br />Stew, you saw my next posts? :-) APEXBlogs v1 already allowed you to add posts yourselves, in v2 I take it to the next extend with Quick Tips, Forum mining and a global search ;-) but you'll read on the details how I implemented it in the next posts.<br />So I 100% agree with your thoughts! So by all means if you read the next posts and have other ideas or like things implemented differently, don't hesitate to comment again.<br /><br />Thanks again for the feedback,<br />DimitriDimitri Gielishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295721159626839167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21122514.post-4364200457164640692010-12-01T20:14:48.813+01:002010-12-01T20:14:48.813+01:00Dimitri,

However, I doubt they'd change countries all that often. Or maybe I can't being as big a world-traveler as you are? ;-)<br /><br />To the other point of this site becoming a central hub for Apex enthusiasts, the best way I can think of is to have the <b>best information</b> about how to use Apex. For me, that means having the best tips and techniques, including extracts from Apex Forum posts, ideas from blogs, etc. I've got my own repository for these sort of things that I've picked up around the net, which I keep in a public <b>EverNote</b> folder (http://www.evernote.com/pub/sstryker58/Stews_Apex_tips). I've collected 368 notes so far, mostly because Evernote makes it easy for me to dump something that looks interesting or useful, then edit it as I need to explain, correct or clarify the note. The great thing about Evernote is you can easily search it by text or tag, so finding that Javascript snippet you saw a month ago in some blog is a snap.<br /><br />I know someone tried creating a Wiki for Apex and there have been communities, but these have languished, I think because they require a structure to be useful and searching doesn't always work. I know there are text snippet sites, but the quality of the contents varies greatly.<br /><br />I think if you could provide a site that's easy to post and search good-quality tips and solutions about Apex, you'd draw a crowd.Stewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05177922393895344852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21122514.post-91101817343506744382010-12-01T11:56:58.570+01:002010-12-01T11:56:58.570+01:00Dimitri,

Showing their location based on their ip.<br /><br />You ask them to confirm or change to they really are from. Save it in a cookie so you won't bug them the next time the visit.<br /><br />JohannesJohannes de Jonghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14332647815367577750noreply@blogger.com
