WELCOME to the 12th issue
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the iDevResource newsletter for professional
developers.
Puf! All go here this week with the new News database running
smoothly, articles and sample chapters added to the site, and
fantastic interest in the COM+ competition.
We have developed some banners for the competition and also
for the site so if you would like one to run on your site,
please contact [email protected]?subject=COMbanner
Once again we would like to emphasise that iDR is a
site created by developers FOR developers. Not all
contributions to the site come from professional authors,
just from developers who have subjects they wish to cover.
If you have a subject you are dying to write about
because you have seen it poorly covered elsewhere,
or even incorrect code and explanations - just apply
your fingers to the keyboard and let us know!
We are also looking to offer more free tools for developers,
and kickstart the international communities so if you have
a tool to recommend or which you have developed, let us
know. If you are based anywhere around the world, the
international communities aim to provide resources for
international developers, details of events, books in other
languages, SIG's, etc.
Please contact us at [email protected] if you wish
to write, and international moderators should contact
[email protected]. We're here to help.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions, please send them
to mailto:[email protected]

NEW THIS WEEK
------------------------------------------------------------
WTL forums, and a WTL bug area are now on the site. These
have been mentioned in the Microsoft lists and also on
various gurus websites, so if you are into WTL this is the
place to report bugs, find answers about WTL, and of course
read Richard Grimes' articles. We have also resurrected
the WTL mailing list.

NEWS database is up and running. There are filters to
sort by channel and date. If you wish to get your news
up there, just send your press release with:
URL, headline, text and which channel you wish to see
your news under to [email protected]. It's free
so don't miss this opportunity to get your news out
to professional developers.
The IGang insisted that they were given more space on the
site so the webmaster has obliged just to keep them quiet!
Go into any of the channels and follow the link in Etc to
'cartoons' to see what they are up to. There are several
up and coming storylines for their SOAP opera, and all
suggestions for new characters and sagas are welcome!
