Site News
Welcome to a new week at The Code Project! Chris is on his way from the Great White North to Warmer Climes (i.e. Canada to Australia), so Jeff's filling in for him this week. A lot is going on this week so let's dive right in.
First, spots are going fast for our upcoming Virtual Tech Summits, free events where you can learn the latest and see hands-on, how-to demos of the latest dev technologies. The first happens this Wednesday, November 17: it's a great lineup of sessions you won't want to miss. Register right now for our summit on Mobile Development: even if you can't attend, we'll have all of the sessions available on demand thereafter. (But you must register.) On December 2, we'll bring you some great, real-world info on developing for the Cloud, so go here to register for that one. We'll even have some great giveaways for you!
Second, don't miss out on our latest contests. Be sure to check the announcements box you see on every codeproject.com page for the latest news -- like our latest contest, now even bigger. If you're developing for Windows Phone 7 already -- or are ready to start, write an article on WP7 and you could win an HTC Surround. Or, share a demo video of your app and you could win an Ultralight Laptop. Check out details at our contest page.
Third, we've had an amazing influx of articles lately, so be sure to keep an eye on some of your favorite topics. And if you haven't already voted for the top October articles, be sure to do so this week. (You can find the surveys at the top of the home page.)
As always, enjoy this week's crop of new articles, and remember you can customise your newsletter preferences and content from your profile -- so be sure to custom-tailor this newsletter for your interests.
cheers,
Chris Maunder
