Two days ago, csdn launched a new channel: Software channel. It should be said that this is not a new channel, because csdn once had a special software channel, and it is very popular with programmers, because it serves as a gathering place for programmers, nothing is more convenient than releasing software on csdn.
At first, the download channel of csdn was originally changed from cnshare (a very early software sharing site, which has now been noticed by others). However, many bandwidth of csdn was occupied by this channel, however, the access to the main site is affected. At that time, csdn believed that the software download sites such as huajun and skysky had their own expertise. They were more suitable for their own businesses for the final software users, csdn is a site that provides technical services to programmers. Software downloading is not a major service of its own, so it stops a service.
At present, the development of the entire network has encountered another situation. On the one hand, with the popularization of ideas such as Web2.0, it is more important to provide services based on human factors, csdn is very successful around the blog service provided by programmers. As a matter of fact, programmers still have the need to develop their own software products. From this perspective, it is not surprising that csdn launches a software channel again. Moreover, csdn has opened up a large amount of bandwidth for the current software channels. The download speed and quality are different from those of the original software channels. At the same time, as a csdn user, you can directly log on to submit and update your own software products on the down.csdn.net page.
Csdn was first called the "Programmer base camp". The main content is the download of some software control products. It is precisely because of these that the csdn programmer community is generated, csdn has launched software channels in terms of the needs of programmers, with a somewhat spiraling rise and regression experience.
However, due to time issues, the current software channels seem to be no big difference with other websites, and there is even much room for improvement in page display, for example, using the same font as the software title and description on the index page makes reading more difficult. However, csdn software channels also have their own characteristics. For example, it seems more obvious for development resources.
I believe that this channel will be greatly improved in the future. In particular, how can it be combined with the entire csdn service to provide a full range of visualization for programmers. For example, Software downloading should be combined with a blog. After logon, users should be able to provide a unified page view, and the blog should be directly integrated with the released software. The presentation page of the software should also contain the author's blog link and the latest update content. In the future, even the author's software page should also integrate more of his footprints in the csdn forum.
In short, we should not just regard the csdn software channel as a simple download channel, but should be included in the overall service of csdn, more efforts are needed to provide the most professional services to programmers and give them the best presentation platform. Of course, csdn also welcomes comments and suggestions from users.
