CODE Magazine
Component Developer Magazine (CODE) is on an aggressive growth path to become the number one Microsoft technology information resource, as reflected in our slogan, "Microsoft Technologies In-Depth for IT Managers and Developers." Each bi-monthly issue of CODE Magazine contains detailed explanations of Visual Studio .NET and the .NET Framework, as well as other new Microsoft technologies and developer tools. Written by real-life developers who actually use the tools they write about, CODE is a "must-have" reference for serious .NET and database developers. Instead of shallow articles that read like marketing press releases, CODE Magazine contains insightful, common sense explanations that are based on the writers' experiences. No fluff allowed!
Fine Citizens
Fine Citizens is a creative agency that partners with many of the nation's largest companies to create innovative and inspiring brand experiences. We are coffee with cream and a shot of whiskey, shaken not stirred. Then we’re frozen solid, stored overnight. Thawed to perfection by the morning light. Poured slowly over rocks, we fill a vintage martini glass to the brim. We are thirsty for challenge. And knowing this very glass was set aside from generations past, we’re reminded of the words they would often whisper to us, “Man cannot live on bread alone.” Pull up a seat. It’s time to order the main dish. We are hungry for change. When we’re not holding a steaming mug of ideas with both hands, we stand on the shoulders of giants and grasp for the unreachable. We gulp inspiration. And we never forget our past as we are driven toward our future, setting aside the practical and choosing to conquer the impossible. Why? Because we aspire to be great. And because we are Fine Citizens.
