Due to travel - including those fun bits where your plane doesn't actually end up at the airport you have printed on your ticket - this week's newsletter will be short and sweet. Well, short.

First and foremost: our Smart Client competition ends in less than 48 hours. The details can be found here.

Secondly: In response to a few requests we've also written up an article on how we wrote the Code Project Visual Studio Add-in at "Building The Code Project Add-In for Visual Studio 2008".

Happy Canada Day and Fourth of July for those in Canada and the United States this week. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
