“We stand on the shoulders of giants.”
But how do we get up there in the first place?
codeArbor is a learning resource for software developers who want to reach the next level of professional expertise.
Our goal is to help you be a better programmer. We believe that means more than showing you ways to hack through a problem. Being better is more than just being functional; it's knowing the best approach, when there's a consensus, and the best options when there isn't.
News and education are distinct modes of communication. We want to give each the care and attention it deserves, so we've created a section of our site for each instead of trying to cram complex technical material into blog posts.
Our technical articles reside in a library that's searchable by category so you can easily find material that's relevant to your work. Each article is:
Code in our technical articles is formatted with syntax highlighting that will look familiar to programmers using Visual Studio 2017 and Visual Studio Code.
We aim to bring you a curated selection of news from around the web that's of interest to developers. We'll also keep you up to date on our latest developments.
The software development world is full of bright people, and some of them have already written about relevant topics. We won't ignore their work. When we see a good piece on a topic of importance we'll mention it.
The blog is also a great place for tips and tricks that don't merit a full technical article. Expect to see code snippets.
We hope to add more writers to our cadre of authors as we grow. We know some domain experts who we think will be great resources for knowledge about technologies we don't currently cover in our technical articles.
We're also here to bring you code you can download and use freely* in your projects, so our technical articles have companion repositories on GitHub.
Now let's get started.
