About View Source
The purpose of View Source--Netscape's online technical magazine
for developers--is to make your life as an Internet developer easier,
and to make your efforts more robust, by giving you technical information
about developing for the Netscape platform.
We publish new articles at least every three weeks. Our mission is to
inspire great development based on the Netscape technologies. To to do
so, we'll publish material with the following goals in mind:
|
To help you understand the strategic significance of Netscape technologies
and products for you as a developer |
|
To provide authoritative, code-level technical advice on developing
with Netscape technologies |
|
To identify specific technical opportunities you can take advantage
of |
We also provide a forum for the Internet development community to talk
about what's being done with Netscape technologies, to let you talk about
some of that great development you're doing. Many of the articles here
are written by developers, and we provide regular updates about new products
from third-party developers in our third-party-products column, Reliable
Sources.
View Source includes feature articles written by Netscape staff
members about Netscape technologies and products, Technical Perspective
columns and the Editor's Corner written by yours truly (and others) about
important aspects of the Netscape platform, a monthly scripting column
by Danny Goodman, and our regular Human Interface Online column. Mostly,
we feature how-to technical articles -- most of them written by practicing
developers and programmers. All contents are designed to help your Netscape
development efforts.
We can't do it all; even if we spent all our time between now and the
millenium publishing articles about Netscape technologies and applications,
we couldn't cover every last subject. Our goal is not to be comprehensive;
instead, we aim to be strategic, and cover only the most important topics,
the ones that are most interesting and useful to the most people. Despite
that, the View Source archive already provides a significant, useful
body of technical information, one that you'll want to reference frequently.
(If you're looking for greater depth, and more comprehensive information,
you'll want to spend some time exploring the DevEdge Online Web
site--especially the Documentation area--if
you haven't already.)
Let us know how we're doing.
Are we covering the topics you need to know about? What's important to
you that you'd like to read more about? We welcome your feedback and your
ideas.
We also welcome your contributions. You're the folks working with Netscape
technologies, developing solutions that push the boundaries of Internet
development, and making your livelihoods on the strengths of the platform.
That means you're also best able to tell others how the technologies really
work, and to provided the nuts-and-bolts technical material to move
the Netscape platform forward. Write
us with your ideas, and we'll help you develop them into an article.
Last, but not least, welcome to View Source. Check back here
every couple of weeks for new articles, and we look forward to seeing you
here on a regular basis.
