Welcome, developers!
Those of you who've spent any time on developerWorks
know that we organize our vast library of resources into 12 separate zones, each covering a specific technology of interest
to our readers: From Java technology to XML to AIX to WebSphere, these zones put code, blogs, tutorials, demos, and much
more at your fingertips.
But as you know, there are more than a dozen ways to look at information -- particularly
information related to software development. That's why we've come up with alternative ways to help you find what you're
looking for. First, developerWorks
spaces are micro-sites that focus on specific technical topics, including application security, green IT, data management,
cloud computing, and much more. Check out the full
list of more than 100 unique spaces. Or, if you want to connect with other people who share your interest in a particular
subject, join a group (or start your own) on My
developerWorks: More than 200 groups have already emerged around topics as varied as JavaScript, PHP, Eclipse, and Web
2.0.
As for our zones, don't worry -- they're not going anywhere. Our zone editors continue to crank out unparalleled
resources to help you tackle whatever challenges you face. Here are this week's top features:
Still can't find what you're after? Let us know. Whatever you're trying
to accomplish, we're here to help. That's a pretty good deal, no matter how you look at it.
Until next week,
John Swanson and the developerWorks editorial team
