Nine years and counting...

Published 2008-01-11    Printer-friendly version

Welcome to 2008! Unoffically, this is the start of Clarion Magazine's 10th year of publication. Officially, the ninth anniversary of the very first ClarionMag article is this February 8th. Time flies when you're publishing!

Last month was Clarion Magazine's first ever Clarion.NET/Clarion# feature issue. It's hard to really do any kind of justice to a topic as complex as .NET development in just one issue, particularly since Clarion# developers have the opportunity to write not just desktop, but web and mobile apps as well. It's all quite distracting: as I explore Clarion development on .NET I find myself frequently sidetracked by interesting possibilities, such as writing GPS-aware apps for my Motorola Q9h mobile phone or implementing bookmarking XML schemas for Clarion Magazine.

As interesting as Clarion# is, even without an AppGen, C6 is still where most Clarion developers earn their coin, and this month the focus is squarely back on the current product, where it will stay for some time. But you can expect to see continuing coverage on the .NET side of things. In particular I've been doing some web development work with Clarion#, and if that continues to go well I should have a new series up in the near future.

I wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year.

Dave Harms, Publisher
