WELCOME
------------------------------------------------------------
Welcome to the iDevResource.com weekly newsletter for
developers and programmers.
Well, Windows 2000 is well and truly here now, and we had a
fun time both at the launch in London and also at DevWeek2000.
We have to say it was quite interesting sitting next to
Dr Richard Grimes throughout the launch presentation and
hearing his views and experience after having Windows 2000
for over a year! Some of the audience were obviously
completely new to Windows 2000 judging by the oohs and aahs
;o)
We also met some great people and hope to be including
articles, features and details of some great products
shortly from those meetings. In the meantime we are still
playing catchup getting everything on to the site, and making
all the changes that have been suggested.
We are looking forward to publishing all the new articles
in the pipeline, particularly on COM+ and W2K development
issues to help those who are new to Windows 2000.
Keep them coming in, and we are still looking for more ASP
and XML authors.
Author Central sites are for ALL contributors and you can
use your mini-site to promote yourself, your company, your
product, books, services, pets, family photos or whatever
takes your fancy!
We hope that there are some gurus out there who could help
relieve the pressure a little on our overworked in-house gurus.
A new forum has been set up on the Ask The Guru page
https://www.idevresource.com/com/interactive/gurus.asp
and there are plenty of people in this community asking for help
so dive in and offer your experience. If you have a problem,
just ask.
We welcome your feedback and suggestions, please send them
to [email protected]
Once again, please support the site by purchasing books
through the bookstore, advertising on the website or through
the newsletter to an international audience of professional
developers, and don't forget the catalogue for your
products, training courses and jobs.

NEW THIS WEEK
------------------------------------------------------------
The new community forums are up at
https://www.idevresource.com/community/forums
and there are already plenty of posts to read. The XML
forums are also running and we are still looking for beta
testers to find those bugs! The forums have been created
by Rich Anderson and we would be interested to know what
other features you would like to see in them.
The Ask the Gurus forums are now working as well so we look
forward to seeing you in there to help or question on coding
problems.

There are new authors featured in the Author Central page so
read about our contributors at
https://www.idevresource.com/authorcentral/
All contributors to IDR get a minisite in Author Central to
showcase their services, products, own website, books, other
articles etc.
Articles
--------
Richard Grimes has written an overview of ATL Server at
https://www.idevresource.com/com/library/articles/atlserver.asp
What are Web Services? by Rich Anderson
https://www.idevresource.com/xml/library/articles/webserve.asp
Articles in the pipeline include Object Pooling, more ASP
articles, lots of XML tutorials and Java. We have been told
by other developers that it is often very difficult to get
your articles published in magazines, so use iDevResource.com
to get that information and experience to those who want to
read it.
Download the author template and read the guidelines here
https://www.idevresource.com/contribute.asp
The bookshops are now affiliated with Computer Manuals
instead of Amazon.co.uk. Computer Manuals guarantee next
day delivery if orders are received before 3pm UK time.
------------------------------------------------------------
COM+
------------------------------------------------------------
Although we have authors working on some of the articles, we
are still looking for experienced COM+ developers to assist with
our COM+ Development Series. The rewards for writing these
articles will be substantial fame and glory as we know there
are many, many developers awaiting this series.
The whole series is being promoted heftily on the Internet
and we would welcome assistance on getting the series finsihed.
Authors already busy writing include Dr Richard Grimes,
Tom Armstrong and others of similar ilk.
If you feel capable of covering one of the articles outlined
at https://www.idevresource.com/com/library/articles.asp
please contact [email protected]
------------------------------------------------------------
COMPETITION
------------------------------------------------------------
We're looking for sponsors for a big competition we have
planned - watch this space for an announcement shortly.
We can guarantee substantial interest in the competition, and
it will be an ideal opportunity for companies to get
involved in something which we know will be a hit.
If you would like to sponsor the competition, either with a
large or small prize, please let us know here at IDR as soon
as possible.
-------------------------------------------------------------
And that's all for this week.
Have a great weekend!
