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 ... http://blogs.teamb.com/yaminov/2008/07/29/events-on-the-developer-network/ 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 ... http://blogs.teamb.com/yaminov/2008/05/30/tagging/ 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).

By using DocAdapter, we can accept articles in multiple ... http://blogs.teamb.com/yaminov/2008/05/02/document-adapters/ 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.

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 ... http://blogs.teamb.com/yaminov/2008/04/25/select-your-location/ 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.
