developerWorks newsletter - Product edition
:: October 2, 2002 :: Vol 1, Issue 39 ::

Greetings, developerWorks readers,

I've always enjoyed those time-lapse films that show something growing from seed to full-fledged plant in 30 seconds. It's amazing to see stages of growth that you would otherwise miss. Of course, the downside is, nothing really grows that fast, and you miss all the work going on behind the scenes as the seed lays the ground work for the coming superstructure.

Well, since we're taking about Spring-related stuff -- an acceptable stretch since we're an international newsletter and it IS Spring in the southern hemisphere -- wouldn't it be nice to meet a new generation of software applications? New releases that have just sprouted through the soil with all of the zest and attendant expectation of a Sequoia seedling? Well...give these babies a spin.

WebSphere Studio V5 is here -- the first software to unify Java and traditional assets in a single development environment for Web services.
DB2 V8.1 for Linux, Unix and Windows goes into bold new integration territory allowing access to any information, from any application, from any place in your organization.
Lotus Notes and Domino 6 represents another big step forward from the leader in helping companies conduct business through advanced collaboration.

Of course, for those of us in the northern hemisphere, new applications are just as relevant and cool in the Fall.

Until next time,
Scott Laningham, newsletter editor
The IBM developerWorks Team
