I used to visit this site often. The information was always helpful. The site is more about programming in windows.

This site has only (as far as I have seen) programming information. All of it is given in source-code format, and therefore is safe, as it relies on the user to implement the programs. These programs are only examples of the broader goal of the site, to give good advice on proper programming practices and methods. There is no content for children, but it is not unsafe, just more advanced than most children would be interested in or be able to comprehend (if you are not a programmer, think of it like a site that explains algebra.) As far as I can tell, the site does not sell anything, nor does it take any personal information.

I have known the owner of the ***** website for many years, having shared common ground in software development and consulting. I signed up here specifically to address a couple badly mistaken negative WOT ratings. The owner of the Flounder site is a highly competent professional programmer, and has authored books on software development and offered specialized expert information via his website. There is absolutely NO harmful software on his site. I have no idea who would go through the trouble to post negative comments about a site serves as an important information resource for software developers, but this can only reflect badly on W.O.T. and their (lack of?) a reliable system for reviewing ratings.

I class this as entertaining because I visited the page for parodies and other humor. It is rip-snortingly witty and betrays an excellent vocabulary. The songs are reminiscent of Tom Lehrer at his best.

Nützliche Informationen über Programmierung, insbesondere über die WinAPI.

This is the best site for learning MFC on the net, I have picked up loads of tips and tricks from there, and it also improved my coding style a lot

Great site for software developers. I can't understand the bad rating it has so far.

This site contains absolutely invaluable advice for the visual c++/MFC programmer, especially the parts concerning multithreading. I'm glad it's still around, with Microsoft going to .net c# and getting away from visual c++/MFC

I am the owner of this site. Sadly, for the dweeb who has the inflated ego and calls himself "tha_specializt", his comment reflects his total ignorance of both MFC and Windows. For example, he refers to a "modal window class", a concept WHICH DOES NOT EXIST. He states that something is "impossible" when I use it all the time. And he even suggests that the author of the book "Win32 Programming", who taught courses in the Windows API for seven years, and has been a Microsoft MVP in the C++/MFC area for sixteen consecutive years, knows nothing about the Windows API. I would take the time to explain why he is technically incorrect, but I'm afraid that someone who understands so little about MFC or Windows could not understand my answer. The other post, that suggests I have malicious content and viruses, is based on no information at all, just repeating a set of lies. The MacAfee Site Advisor indicates that my site is virus-free.

No idea why anybody would rate this site as anything other than useful, it contains a wealth of code and programming information.

The site is fine. The EBCDIC-ASCII table is fine. Not sure why this site got a bad reputation. The information on this site was useful for me.

This is a software developers tools and tips page and doesn't host malware. It's for C++ Windows programmers.
