from the
Editor
==========================================================
This week I’m in Lisbon, Portugual presenting at a conference. As such, I’m
going to cut the editorial short. Feel free to use the time you’d normally spend
reading my rantings here in more constructive ways — such as reading an extra
Codeguru article by one of our great authors!
Until next week,
Brad!
