CodeGear.com is up and running
The CodeGear web site is up and running. The first impression is good. The logo is nice and I hope thye don't mind if I refer to it from here:
The page is quite clear and enjoyable. Not too crowded. Not only most of the content has been moved from Borland site (although a few links still point there), but we have also new domains for relevant sites, including:
- Developer Network at dn.codegear.com
- Blogs at blogs.codegear.com
- Code Central at cc.codegear.com
- Quality Central at qc.codegear.com
- Event Central at ec.codegear.com
There are still a few bugs... like the first article "Welcome to CodeGear" of the home page liked to an internal URL, "http://swerver/Default.aspx?tabid=137". Also, I don't particularly like the structure of the URLs. Truly the Delphi page can be reached as "http://www.codegear.com/Products/Delphi", but if you navigate to it you'll get either in "http://www.codegear.com/Default.aspx?tabid=122" or in "http://www.codegear.com/Products/Delphi/tabid/122/Default.aspx"... but I'm probably being too picky for the first edition of a web site. I hope everything is fixed and the site improved. For now, it looks nice and promising...

I like the product and developer oriented style
Last night, I've seen CodeGear website up and running, too. Some of the images were missing, but it seems they have made these resources available. I like the new "product oriented" style: development tools appear as the "main characters", and this is really good, since CodeGear must focus on them and their users. Some days ago, I sent an XML file with Italian translations for CodeGear portal, maybe other Italian developers have done the same, but there is still no Italian language available: I hope they won't ignore there are many Italian developers who cares about Borland development tools, now become CodeGear tools. However, I think the new CodeGear website is a good start. Bye! Marco.Comment by Marco Breveglieri [http://www.marco.breveglieri.name] on December 16, 16:30
