Better ideas for codelog

Is it nice to have a big tutorial on some of the programming language related problems ?? Is it really easy for one to grasp all the things that are explained in there ??? This is one big question that comes to my mind every time when I write a tutorial in codelog. Its always difficult to explain all the things in a short and sweet tutorial, also its difficult to read big one like this (no wonder, its written by me) :P Thinking from both prespective, I can’t find a fruitful solution. May be, we can start uploading a sample project file along with the tutorial (if possible). This may not solve all the issues regarding the forementioned. So start suggesting some ways in which we can increase interest on people to post as well as read. All the suggestions shall we considered.

Update

Since codelog is gonna have articles related to multiple programming langauages, why don’t we have icons of those languages againts that post ??

    You can try partitioning the tutorial into smaller pieces if you can. Eg: If I were to post a tutorial about a MVC framework in python, I would make it into 3 parts explaining how to do the Model, View and Controller seperately.

    Also it would be useful to read about small bits of info about your favorite language - things which are cool, which gives the aha! moments, DailyWTF genre of code, etc.

    I would like to see a sample application with source code (and commenting, obviously) along with the tutorial.

    Cool idea about that icon for programming languages. Saw some theme which supports such icons for each post. If possible should implement something like that.

    Will changing theme affect the existing article’s formatting ??
