… Book Winners …
In case you missed it, the two people who submitted articles in June that
also get a copy of either:

Kate Gregory’s Visual C++ .NET 2003 Kicks Start,
They are Dillip Kumar Kara and Kirants. They each wrote and submitted an
article that was published in June. As the selected people, they have 60 days to

… Over at IBM …
This week IBM is having a conference in Texas. This is their IBM Rational
Software Development User Conference.Like most big conferences, a number of
announcements are being made. In this case, they obviously center on IBM and IBM
products.
IBM further detailed their intent to bring support for Eclipse into their
products. Eclipse is an open source IDE. One item of note is an application
available from IBM that will help to migrate WinForms to Eclipse. Of
course, this is just scratching the surface of what was announced. You can check
out the following for a bit more information:

Until next week!
