… This Week at CodeGuru
Each week I assume you read this newsletter. Each week I take the time to
write down a few thoughts about what is going on in the industry or on
simply something that has caught my attention that I think you might be
interested in hearing.
This week I had a number of things to write about, but instead thought I’d
step back and ask you a simple question or two — what do you want to
know? What would you like to hear about? If you have a few minutes this week,
send me an email. In the subject line, put “newsletter feedback” or something
similar. Give me your thoughts on what you like or don’t like about the
newsletter. I’ll read over your email and everyone else’s and see what
makes sense as far as changes.
Let me know if you like things such as the section below where I list newer
books each week, or the inclusion of links to some of the articles from
Developer.com. If you don’t like something, let me know that too.
A number of people have made suggestions in the past and the current
state of this newsletter reflects many of those changes. If you don’t have
ideas today, feel free to send them at any time. I assume that you are like most
people who come to CodeGuru or that get this newsletter, and that you want as
much information on technology as you can get. I also assume you are busy.
Hopefully the CodeGuru site, the staff and I, the discussion forums, and this
newsletter are all helping you get what you need. If not, let me know!
Until next week!
Brad!
