The following are my scores and feedback for all the fantastic entries in the fifth annual 'Week of Awesome ' contest, which has just wrapped up.

As promised in my last entry, I've posted a follow-up looking at the viability of the two updated versions of Dev-C++: wxDev-C++ and Orwell Dev-C++. Although I still wouldn't personally recommend it, wxDev-C++ comes up alright -- check the entry for details.

Just a quick update this time:- I've updated my popular 2008 blog post on "Why you shouldn't use Dev-C++", and also moved to a new url -- the old one has a re-direct page for now, but I probably won't host that for ever.

Those who view the front page of the site or peruse the news forum may have noticed a monthly column I've been posting for a short while now to help bring a bit more attention to some of the projects in Help Wanted.

As most of you probably already know, we have a required template for posts in the Help Wanted forum... but why do we have it?
The first reason is fairly obvious. Most people looking for a project to join have the same few generic questions regarding things such as payment, choice of technology and…

There's a well-known document called How To Ask Questions The Smart Way that a lot of forums, newsgroups and faqs link to as an explanation of how to approach seeking help. It's well written, comprehensive and gives a very good explanation of how and why people …

Just snippets from a couple of posts from my blog, Unrefined Awesome:
Quote:from Why you shouldn't use Dev-C++
I still see a lot of people using the out-of-date and unmaintained Bloodshed Dev-C++ IDE (Integrated Development Environment), and I'd like to briefly explain why this is a bad idea as well …

I took on board some of the feedback from last time when posting the new Help Wanted Picks to the front page. This time we've got screenshots, and the list of services offered at the bottom of the post is sorted into categories with a couple that I personally recommend for anyone interested specia…

I'm sure you're all familiar with splash screens in games by now. I mean the full-screen animated things that display company logos. I don't believe splash screen isn't really the correct term for these, but it seems to be what they're commonly known as these days and I'm sure you're all aware of…

Among other projects, I've been working on some custom forum software. I'm aware that there are plenty of existing packages out there I could potentially use, but I don't like any of them, so I'm trying to write something following a few guidelines:
- The content comes first
- No 'feature bloat'; if…
