WELCOME to the 14th issue
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the iDevResource newsletter for professional
developers. The site is run by professional developers, and
offers cutting edge articles, breaking news, forums, a
developer catalogue featuring products, training courses and
jobs, humour, prize competitions and much more.
OK, OK, pick an excuse for us - we know we've missed a week
or two on the newsletter but it's been hectic with our team
manager succumbing to a chocolate related breakdown over
Easter and then ending up prone on the floor with a bad back,
our webmaster hiding in the Antarctic with a good book, and
various developments behind the scenes - more on those later!
Welcome to all the new subscribers - quick intro - this is a
community site so we appreciate feedback, everyone is welcome
to contribute to the site whether it be news items, articles,
jokes, good books, FAQ's, products, questions etc, and we are
open to ideas, sponsorship, etc.
The COM+ Competition is now closed but for those of you who
didn't get your articles in before the deadline - there IS
still time but you'll have to be quick. Meanwhile the MSMQ
competition is still running and we'd love to see a few
entries to make Charles Sterling's day! (MSMQ Product Manager)
Hope too many of you didn't get attacked by the Love Bug.
Seems to us that the folk who write these things could earn
large sums of money for their programming skills if they just
changed their focus. Or, of course, they could contribute
articles to the ATR channel on VB scripting and help other
scripting in a more positive manner. Shame to see such
talents wasted in this destructive manner.
Anyway.....please contact us at [email protected] if
you wish to write full-length articles, FAQ's, or Byte Size,
or have other contributions.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions, please send them
to mailto:[email protected]
