Well, I’ve managed to complete a full January of posting the Morning Brew – I think putting it together is getting easier, however I’m concerned that I keep posting links to very similar articles (lots of beginning WPF type articles recently). I’m wondering if I need to be more selective about what I post here – but that would have the effect of reducing the number of items. As always your feedback on this or any other topic is very welcome. On to the links…
