Printed Back Issue Clearance Sale
In case you missed it, we ended the year 2007 with a giant clearance sale of printed back issues. We still have some left (though we are all out of the premiere issue) so I've decided to extend the sale through January 2008. This is your chance to get all the printed issues if you'd like to complete your library. Note that though these special prices are for full volumes only, if you're an existing subscriber and you'd like to mix and match issues you're missing, let me know and I'll figure out a package for you. You can check out the sale here:

A Cover Story
Notice anything different about this issue? With publication costs rising, I'm experimenting with a self-cover edition by using higher quality paper throughout and eliminating the gloss cover. While I loved the fancier cover, it provides no content benefit and people don't buy RBD for the cover. What do you think of this move? Shall I continue it? Did your copy arrive safely through the mail? Please send me your feedback, positive or negative!
In This Issue
First we've got an article I wrote about the advantages of simple, quick-and-dirty programs. Then I'm pleased to reveal an unusual article for RBD as Jens Bendig and Christian Frobel reveal an elegant solution to better programming. It's a fascinating read about how to prevent bugs in your code.
The prolific JC Cruz is back with more math--this time centered around image processing, a topic many of us math phobics could use help with.
Finally, Excel Software's Harold Halbleib offers a solution to adding Help to your programs.
Enjoy!
