8 years of existence...

... plus a few days. RG originated on 8th July but I forgot about it.
Yeah, Recruiting Grounds exists for 8 years. There are History pages if you wanna know more about it. I've been reading some old news posts today, and it's a good laugh. Grammar, punctuation, horrible (3 years of RG original news post). Readable, but still horrible. Anyways, happy b-day Recruiting Grounds!
We've always been about making web designers and programmers life easier, but I must notice things have escalated in a good way since initial release of Recruiting Parser. Who knows when I'll present it's final version. Who knows if I'll ever finish PM Grounds. Let's see what the future brings.

Recruiting Parser praised big time

While the final version of Recruiting Parser is still under development, I have some news. A friend of mine, who's business is programming (he goes to Egypt to do programming there, for example) praised Recruiting Parser. As he is in desktop - oriented programming business, he didn't comment on usability (as he never used it), but he commented its code, which he says is great written.
On the other side of the street, today I noticed (nobody even noticed me) Recruiting Grounds has received a Reviewer's Choice of 2010 on DownloadNew (link). I was shocked, of course in a good way. So that's about usability. I have good feeling for Recruiting Parser - it got praised for the code structure, and the actual usability.

I also noticed some people don't read Recruiting Parser's quick manual and make their life harder - this person wanted to save the parsed code in a variable. Recruiting Parser does that by default. So, people, if you have problems, read the manual, or ask for help on our forums, you'll come with the best answer from me.
I also received a nice amount of bug reports and improvements on the Forums, thanks everyone!

Of age!

Hello everyone! I know there hasn't been any recent development, but I'm simply too busy. Sorry 'bout that.

Anyway, it is my becoming of-age birthday today! I'm 18 now, and, uh, nothing actually changed. But hey at least I'm of age, so who cares.

Yay

Recruting Parser 1.0-dev r2 released

A new version of Recruiting Parser has been released. It contains minor code changes but not so small usage changes. Both have been suggested on Forum Grounds by same user. Read thread for details, but long story short, is that Recruiting Parser has been showing problems with Spanish charsets, and therefore with some other non-standard charsets. By the way, charsets I am talking about here are letters. So I introduced Unicode support, which will fix this problems.
Second update introduces [youtube] tag support. Please note: this function is currently deprecated, but I'll finish it soon.

And that's it
Enjoy Recruting Parser 1.0-dev Release 2!

Recruiting Parser pre-final skipped

This afternoon I announced a probability of releasing second version of Recruiting Parser. Over this days I was testing it, and I came to conclusion Recruiting Parser is free of bugs. Over 2k of code, without bugs. Well, I have been doing it for a year, so it may be a reason.
In other words, Recruiting Parser pre-final #1 will be skipped. Actually, it won't be skipped, but it simply won't be what it was supposed to be. Recruiting Parser pre-final #1 will be first Recruiting Parser with eXtras. I explained that on Recruiting Parser release page too. So that's the project I'll be working on. I have a lot of school business underway too, so I won't be able to give it as much as time as I'd like. But it'll eventually work out. You won't have to wait for me to release this pre-final version to see how this eXtras work. I'll be uploading nightly builds, so you can test it right away. But notice, do not never use this nightly builds for serious things. But I'll point that out on the Recruiting Parser nightly builds page (it doesn't exist yet, since there have never been such releases). Also, this eXtras are not the only thing that I will upgrade Recruiting Parser with. I cannot talk of any dates when first unstable/nightly build will be released, and of course I cannot talk of final version release date, but I'll keep you informed about anything.

Final Stage of Recruiting Parser approaching

Recruiting Grounds is almost prepared for release and distribution of Recruiting Parser pre-final version #1. Latest release, 1.0 Testing Version was released on 10.7.2007. So it's been 2 and a half years. In this, pre-final #1 stage I'll fix bugs reported in this 2 years (there are very few). Maybe even add some new stuff.
In #2 I'll add a lot more, known as eXtras. After that I'll invite people to test it out. In this stage I'll fix every bug I can find. I am of opinion there won't be many.
In 1.0 Final everything should be finished. Don't get me wrong, though. Even this Testing Version released 2 and a half years ago everything is great. You won't be sorry for using it. There are only few very minor bugs in this old version.
In conclusion, pre-final #1 will be finished very soon. You could even expect it tonight.

If you are here for the first time, and have no idea what I'm talking about, and you need a top-class BBCode parser, check out Recruiting Parser.
