CodeCentral
Web client
The browser interface to CodeCentral(CC)
is now live. This web client is focused on performance, and
replacing the functionality found in the prior CGI version of CodeCentral. Please report all issues and feature requests to QualityCentral
.
Navigation
Every page should have the same common look and feel, that is consistent
among all the EDN
and Embarcadero
sites. CodeCentral also provides common functionality available on
all of its pages. The left side of the page lists all of the
products that can be found in CodeCentral. By clicking on one of these
products it will take you to the product page, and the left hand side will be
expanded to list the categories for the selected product.
Below the common menu displayed for all of EDN, you will find tabs that
will take you to the various other EDN systems, if a product is selected in
CodeCentral it will take you that product area in the selected
system. For example if you have selected the Delphi
product area in CodeCentral and you press on the "Event" tab, it will take you
to the Delphi events listed in EventCentral
.
Below the tabs, you will find additional links such as to Search
the repository, and Add
Snippets to the repository.
To start using the CodeCentral web client, click on http://cc.embarcadero.com
. This will display the product matrix, and links to the
CodeCentral authors by last name. These can be used to
navigate quickly to common areas by browsing.
Thanks for your participation, and thank you for helping make CodeCentral
as beneficial to the Embarcadero community as possible.
Smart URLs
If you are using any URLs that referenced the CCWeb.exe CGI application
they should automatically redirect you to the correct area in the new
application. In additional a new url structure has been
have been introduced to allow easier navigation, if you type in URLs directly
into your browser.

CodeCentral has been around for quite some time, and has had many
people work on it. Since I don't know all

of those that helped build the current ASP.NET version.
