Merry Christmas!

Published 2007-12-21    Printer-friendly version

A Merry Christmas to all of you who celebrate the season! Although we often travel west to be with family at Christmas, this year we're staying home and spending time with friends, many of whom are like family to us. And as usual there's snow on the ground in Winnipeg for Christmas, with another storm forecast to hit tonight!

The publishing year isn't over, however - there are still two more articles due in our December Clarion.NET/Clarion# special issue. The first is a short introduction to writing applications for mobile devices, and the second is a piece on creating libraries and writing test suites with NUNit. I'm fascinated by both of these topics. Automated unit testing is pretty cool stuff, and it's very easy to implement; I like the idea of building applications out of verifiable components. And mobile development is a brand new area for many Clarion developers, one that will get a lot of attention in the coming year.

Besides new stuff in ClarionMag, you can look forward to a new release from SoftVelocity. The folks in Pomano Beach are hoping to deliver an update to Clarion# this week. Personally, I'd be just as happy to get it after Christmas. My brain needs a rest!

The Clarion Magazine will be closed on Dec 25th, and open intermittently thereafter until January 2, 2008. I'll check email periodically but don't be surprised if it takes an extra day or so to get a reply.

Enjoy the season, and I wish all of you a very happy New Year!

Dave Harms,
Publisher, Clarion Magazine
