Now I see it I get it. But there was no way I was going to get it  .
Good clue though, I wouldn't have thought of dropping 80+% of the letters from a word to get the remaining one.

Same as LabVIEWstuff - I see it now, but I was nowhere near.
Good clue!

I can never make anything out of the CCC unless you start putting in Dutch ones.....
In Word you can only store 2 bytes. That is why I use Writer.

Given that my Dutch runs about as far as "spreekt u engels?", there might be a bit of a wait for that!
98.4% of statistics are made up on the spot.

We have decided that it would be really cool to attend some offsite, classroom based training for MVC, Web.API, Angular and possibly some others to bring everyone up to speed.
I've been looking at what is available and a) they are elephanting expensive and b) have no idea which ones to pick - we want them to be fairly local, if possible.
so, can anyone recommend any class based training in and around the LA area?
Thanks

Classed based training is very expensive and there is no cheap alternative other than to have the expert(s) on your team teach the rest of the team - if possible.
With that said, companies I have worked at actually flipped the bill to have the trainers come to our location for 5 days usually. Anything less is not worth the $$ or trip.
Look online for training companies in the United States - there are many. Research for the best ones. Some companies will not fly out to you unless you meet a certain head count (usually no less than 5).
Good luck.
Edit: forgot to mention, there are online training courses also, which are very helpful to. I would look into these as well. Nice thing about these is that you can do them from home if needed.

Thanks but the point was to get away from the office for a few days. Getting someone in means that we'll get5 pulled out to fix things!

Unless your are going to an MSDN conference type event, I have never seen it that way in the real world. Just saying. They come to you, you don't go to them. That is how it usually works.

.NET magazine cover
(sorry about the almost-unreadable text, but this is the largest image I could find)
I hope Rachel Andrew's Guide to Modern Web Design has something to say about covering up actually useful information, such as a magazine's issue number and month, with a useless graphic.

I think they misspelled the title. Should it not be .Nerd magazine?

It's Issue 298, October 2017.
You're welcome!

I was aware of that. That was not my point.
FWIW, the spine portion is not visible in the original PDF I first saw (which I couldn't link to)

The spine was not visible on the PDF I first saw either. But then, it was a technical manual on the HP 4952A protocol analyser.

UX Theory?
Just t'other day was an article in the CP daily email about how modern UX's were measured and proven to be hampering productivity to the tune of millions (or was it billions) of dollars.
and the ms lemmings want to share advice on UX???? WTFF is wrong with this picture??
yes metro (or whaterver-the-hell-it's-called-today) is not just ugly, it's now been demonstrably measured as bad for business

I think it's called "Urban" as in "Urban Wasteland".
Next week it'll be downgraded to "Detroit".

Shockingly, I didn't need any article to have that proven to me. I could've told anyone back in the Windows 8.0 days that you spend a lot more time just navigating around modern UIs than you do performing useful functions.

Somehow that article made its way onto our yammer site  .
I DID tell them years ago and argued myself blue in the face that it was a crappy design. Earlier this year they got in a UX design team to give us a more "modern" look and feel. Guess what they designed.

My windows 10 looks like windows 95.
Start icon in the corner.
The 'programs' in the box when I click on it. And a 'Run'
My open windows do not consolidate.
There are no open boxes to the left or right and for that matter very few icons on the screen. (Excluding games although those are just so I know what I have already played.)
I have come to appreciate the most recently used app, so I leave it there although I could turn that off.

I think the web-design expert should have helped them out with the gaudy eye-sore of a cover design.
Maybe just poke there their eyes out and call it a day.

It's an example of how not to design the magazine cover for the next edition of Migraine Monthly.

imho, a garish, mind-numbing, design, but, do remember that mass-market print magazines often use zap-pow-bang covers to try to capture eyeballs.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)
