Hi there, The end of the summer seems to have its impact and there aren't very many articles to choose from. Nevertheless you have some great ones. Using this relative silence, I am launching a new weekly newsletter called Developer Weekly. In this newsletter I am going to pick several articles from the 'Engineering blogs' of some of the biggest tech companies and mix that with articles from individuals who have clever things to say about development in general. Sign up now so you won't miss the first issue! Enjoy! Gabor Szabo |
