CDN Search, Part 3: Search Results
Previously on this blog: we deployed a new search engine and used background jobs to index content.
When you run a search query on CDN, you’ll see just below your search results line of text that looks something like this:
Query processed in 375ms (31.25ms server/network, 343.75ms database)
This text describes exactly how long it took to prepare [...]
CDN Search, Part 2: Background Jobs
The previous post in this series described how GetPublished processes content and passes it to the Lucene index. I noted there was a problem with the final steps of the process, which were:
GetPublished indexes the content by calling the search web service.
GetPublished stores all data in the database.
The problem is that since we’re updating multiple [...]

A few days ago we deployed a new search engine on all major CodeGear sites. At the heart of the engine is the Apache Lucene library, which I highly recommend. We’ll be providing more information about our overall implementation in the near future (update: John Kaster published an article about this), but I wanted to [...]

We’ve just deployed another major feature on CDN - support for events. The Developer Network already had an events system, EventCentral, but it became difficult to maintain and enhance it. In particular, we wanted to add the rich document support and role-based workflow features of GetPublished. By integrating this functionality into GetPublished events also [...]

Another feature, another article:
Social Bookmarking on CDN
We’ve wanted to support tagging for a long time, but the CDN team is pretty small and a lot of other stuff kept getting in the way. We did support bookmarking on other sites using the "Share This" module, but now we have our own internal tagging system.
Tagging is [...]
Two Years Old
The ASP.NET version of what was then the Borland Developer Network went live two years ago today (actually, it first went online about a week earlier, but some DNS issues forced us to roll back). The original version, called "BDN 2" at the time, replicated almost all of the original community site’s content and functionality [...]

One of the core elements of GetPublished is the Document Adapter, or DocAdapter. DocAdapter is a set of web services and .NET assemblies for converting rich documents into standard HTML articles that can be displayed on the CodeGear Developer Network sites. By using DocAdapter, we can accept articles in multiple formats, and ensure we get [...]

In response to some questions in the newsgroups, I thought I’d write a short overview of the tools and technologies used to manage and display the CodeGear web site.
The CodeGear web site, as well as the Developer Network, the CodeGear Support site, and several other sites all run as part of a single application. This [...]
Select your location
There’s more to the new web site than first meets the eye. One of the features we’ve added is making it much easier to buy CodeGear products online. If you look at the top-right corner of the page, you’ll see a bunch of icons, and a drop-down menu that let you select your location.
Selecting your [...]
Automating SQL Server backup
As you may have noticed, the CodeGear web site has undergone significant changes. The new look has been applied to all CodeGear sites (including this one), but the site also has a lot of new and updated content. The new content has been staged in GetPublished, and once it was ready, all we had to [...]
