Errata

It appears for the past few months, my dennis@ddj.com e-mail address has stopped working, so I apologize for ignoring any correspondence during that time. Please try again using dennis@amzi.com.

For those who asked for the prototype code for the disease interaction system described in the December 2004 newsletter, please ask again. As before, that's a work in progress and I welcome all feedback and comments.

If you're confused on the newsletters, that was due to vacations and some question on the December mailing. December went out as a duplicate in January, and January and February are going out together now.

CMP DevNet Spotlight

Ada and the Language Renaissance
A renaissance in computer language design has allowed "little" languages like Ruby and Lisp to accumulate large, active communities of developers that continue to discover new uses for these technologies. Ada is another language that has benefitted from grassroots-level development. The result: Ada 2005.
