Daily News - Exercise your greatest power as a developer

Your morning update: Daily News -

Tuesday, December 27, 2016 View online Tips? Send 'em to Insider@codeproject.com From Daily News Intergalactic Headquarters: Welcome to the week without news. Well, there will be news of course, it's just that most of it is "What happened in 2016" and "What we think might happen in 2017". That, combined with our team being short one member this week (Kent has nogged himself out of the game), means we might have shorter newsletters this week. We'll try to keep the Daily News topical, but we might also sprinkle in some of our own favorite news items from 2016 as paddingfiller. Hopefully you won't mind much, and we'll try to get back to 'normal' as soon as events allow. Oh, and Happy New Year to everyone!
