Manas,
What is displayed on the dashboard (http://mbed.org/dashboard/) is unique to you and will show you activity from around the site that you have chosen to follow or have been involved in. I think by the code tab you mean the page at http://mbed.org/users/manants/code/ this page is a public page listing projects that you have published on the site, if you have unlisted repositories only you will be shown them. This is useful if you have written a program or library that you want to share with other people.
You can publish a program from the compiler by clicking on the program's name and clicking "Publish" in the program details area alternatively you can right click on the program name and select "Publish" from the menu that appears.
I hope that answers your question.
Hi Stephen, Thanks :)
Could you also point to the link to the following: Say I want to print a pyramid of numbers: I start with different codes, instead of creating a new program each time! There is a feature provided by mbed to keep older "versions"? of the code! I wasnt able to find help for it, could you elaborate on this too. This is a good, novel thing for us newbies to coding!
