Welcome to The Software Developer Dominic Selly Hi. I’m Dominic Selly, an instructor at Intertech and this month’s editor. Welcome to the latest issue of The Software Developer. How much of your day do you spend re-working an existing code? If you’re like most programmers, it’s probably a considerable amount, and you’re probably looking for ways to cut down on the time spent making the code “better.” If so, I recommend you read this month’s feature article by Intertech’s Andrew Troelsen. In it, Andrew discusses ways you can use Visual Studio 2005 to reshape your code in an easier, more predictable manner. In Coder's Corner, Intertech’s Jeff Jensen talks about the key features of Firefox, the new “techie” browser from Mozilla. And for articles on personal and professional growth, be sure to check out our Best of the Web section.
