(kit­teh codez: ./;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;)
Time to start C# famil­i­ar­isa­tion, this long week­end is the week­end to start. My guide is the book: “Pro C# 2008 and the .Net 3.5 Plat­form” writ­ten by Andrew Troel­son

Cari poin­ted this out: Pho­toshop Cam­era Raw and JPEG2000 plu­gins for Pho­toshop 7.0. These are pur­chaseable down­loads from adobe.com. Cam­era Raw gives […]
