I have been an active member of this great site and sort of a CP addict. Yesterday we had Winner announcement for IoT Tutorial Contest. Being named as the winner is an honor I can't express with words.
I am posting this to personally thank Peter Hanlon who encouraged, supported and inspired me at every junction of difficult times in my career in last two years.Pete, Your motivating support so so crucial for me to start competing again after some bad experiences with results in some of the contests.
I also want to thank Adam Hill, another developer who stood beside me like a friend and critic for best part of last two years.
I want to also thank Kevin for his relentless effort and support all through the contest. Be it answering silly questions to answering silly doubts, he has done it all.
I would also want to thank the Author's whose works I referred during the course of the contests. Those evergreen articles and codes remain a treasure of reference.
During early phase of the contest, one of the site bugs wiped of my one of completed articles, which I could not recover. I had to rewrite the whole stuff from scratch again. Chris was relentless in testing and correcting the site bug. Thank you Chris for caring about every member of community and keeping such a great site.
Finally I would like to thank each and every member of this great community for helping, motivating, encouraging, criticizing us, helping us with suggestions, tips, giving us the satisfaction with your +5s  .
I hope to keep contributing in CP and remain and active member of the site.

Congrats, hard work does pay off.
New version: WinHeist Version 2.1.0
There's a fine line between crazy and free spirited and it's usually a prescription.
I'm currently unsupervised, I know it freaks me out too but the possibilities are endless.

There's nothing I do on this site that gives me as much pleasure as seeing someone I've been able to help achieve great things. Congratulations are thoroughly deserved. Well done.

I just set up a new VM for private use on my work laptop.
I wanted to download VS2013 Community Edition, but then I noticed an alternative: VS Online.
As far as I can see it's free for my personal use. I'm looking to do some hobby coding. Does it have the same features as VS2013 CE? What about database access? Would I also need a (free) Azure account?
I'm looking for some experiences and recommendations. Go Online or stick to VS2013 CE?

When you publish a website to Azure, you can use Visual Studio online to edit the HTML/CSS/Javascript. You can't touch the server side stuff with it though (the models/controllers and so on).
I mainly use it if I need to urgently something in production without going through the whole publish process, don't find it overly useful.

|
|
Ask yourself... Do you trust your code to the cloud?
I don't... I'll stick with CE at home.
|
|

It's just some hobby stuff, so privacy isn't really an issue.
I wouldn't use it for any production work.

Visual Studio Online[^] is the repository not an IDE. You can use it WITH VS2013 CE but not INSTEAD.

Oooooooohhhhhh... That's not what I understood from that exact same website, but perhaps I was biased into believing it was!

Yep, very confusing name for otherwise good product

That they placed it right next to the VS2013 CE download, same size on screen, like they were alternatives, didn't help either

Don't feel bad... I thought it was an online IDE too... I just wasn't about to try it

Yes, that's what makes people mistakenly believe Visual Studio Online was some kind of "cloud IDE" that can be used as a stripped-down, simplified replacement for a local Visual Studio installation, like the free Office Online apps, but it's not.

^^ this.
If/when you get to the point where you really want to use it for builds, etc, I have done quite a bit of configuration & experimentation in this regard and try to post those findings and other interesting things on my blog, .Netitude[^]

Hobby code or other, I would never put my code in the cloud trusting that the servers will be running when I want to work on my project.
Besides, there's lots of times I'm in a disconnected state (some may say a dissociated state) so having all my stuff without needing Internet access is a requirement.

Yeah but finding code to cut and paste is a bitch. 
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Marc, you can work disconnected. It syncs on demand when you reconnect. I love VSO! (Been using it since before they changed the name.)

It's not an alternative. It's what they used to call TFS Online. And IMHO, rocks hugely. (All my personal source code is stored there.)
