Comments
from the
Editor
==========================================================


This week starts the holiday season in the United States as well as
elsewhere. Just before shifting into the chaos of shopping for the Christmas and
related holidays, we get to take time for the Thanksgiving holiday.  While
many think Thanksgiving is about eating as much food as you can, it is also
about a lot more. One thing it allows for is the time to step back and look at
things around us. It is also an obvious time to take a moment to say thanks. The
following ‘thanks’ are not in any of importance.


I’ve been directly involved with CodeGuru for over four years now. In the
last year we have seen a lot of change to the site. You now can enter and manage
your own articles. You can rate as well as comment on articles. The top viewed
articles are displayed on the site. Email addresses were replaced with forms to
help cut out the spam we were all getting. This barely scratches the surface of
some of the changes that have happened. The end result is that the site
continues to evolve into something bigger and better.


I thank all those that made suggestions as well as the developers at
Jupitermedia for these great changes.


On the forums, there continues to be a large vibrant community that can
answer serious questions on C++, .NET, ASP, Java, and other topics. Yet there
are also fun conversations ranging from happenings in the industry to the worst
movies of all time to goofy jokes.


I thank the great CodeGuru forum community for all the great discussions!


The CodeGuru forums don’t have a lot of the noise that other forums seem to
get. This is a result of the numerous volunteers who moderate the forums. Our
moderators are among the best of any forums.


I thank our moderators for the fantastic job they do.


CodeGuru has thousands of article. Many of these answer  questions and
provide source code. These are all the result  of you and people like you
that continue to graciously share with others.


I thank all of our authors for these contributions.


Finally, I thank you. You continue to listen to my ramblings each week. I
thank you for the time you take out of your day to read what I have to say.


Thank you.


Until next week!


Brad!
