More Code?

Published 06 November 08 05:13 PM

I received my monthly progress report today on how good a job you all feel we're doing on the MSDN Magazine Web site.  In short, it seems like the numbers are down a bit from last month, and in culling through the verbatim responses, there was one theme that I was surprised about.  Many people that responded to our survey said that they wanted more code.

I have to confess that I need some help clarifying this one.  Nearly all of our articles have code in the body of the article - and at least 1/3 of them have a complete sample application that can be downloaded as reference.

So can you help me better understand the "more code" request here?  Are you guys wanting...

  • more articles with complete sample applications?
  • more code displayed in the body of the article?
  • better integration of our code explorer tool with the article?
  • something else entirely??
