The snow and Ice have finally taken their toll so I'm heading back home to Australia
for a couple of weeks to thaw out. As always our team will still be at their posts
to help with articles and questions.
On the CodeProject front we're excited to be close to releasing our next step
in the evolution of CodeProject. It will be a subtle change at first but it will
mean big things for those posting code.
Also a general call for HTML5 / CSS3 articles for this month. If you're a developer
you need to at least know the basics, and if you're neck deep in HTML, CSS and
JavaScript
then there's always a better way to take away the pain.
Submit your cures.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
