Fellow MacPerl afficianados: As an internet professional, both self-employed and corporate-salaried, I can attest first-hand to the frustration experienced daily by others like me who are all too often called upon to defend the Macintosh as a development platform. I fully believe in the superiority of the Mac in this field, but I fear that the Wintel world is daily closing the gap, and I cannot stand by and let this happen. So I won't. I am establishing an online resource targeting internet professionals who use the Mac OS as their primary development platform. The site, called The Macintosh Internet Professional,is being created and maintained by my company, Idol Hands Design (www.idolhands.com) as a service to our community. It will deliver product reviews, tips and techniques, freeware/shareware/demo downloads, and other relevant information and resources. www.macnetpro.com is being officially launched on November 1st. We're looking for content from other internet professionals to really make the premiere spectacular. Specifically, we're looking for brief (500 word) product reviews, how-to articles (CGI, API, database connectivity, multi-platform networking, cross-platform development using Perl, etc.), and technology overviews. Additionally, we're looking for freeware, shareware, and demonstration applications from software developers targeting internet professionals, and even applets, applications, and scripts from internet professionals themselves. Please send mail to editor@macnetpro.com with any questions or offers to help. Please consider this request carefully, and think about what your participation could do both for you and for the Mac community. Thanks, Corey Ehmke Principal, Idol Hands Design Editor, The Macintosh Internet Professional _________________________________________ "Seraphs and saints with one great voice welcomed that soul that knew not fear; amazed to find it could rejoice, hell raised a hoarse half-human cheer." -- John Davidson, "A Ballad of Hell" ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
