Came out 6 number, New Year

Good afternoon, reader! This release, in fact, combines two issues that were scheduled to cover the whole of December at Habrahabr. But in connection with the well-known holiday, the release of the second December issue in the first days of January would be meaningless. Therefore, meet one December issue.

Taking this opportunity, I would like to congratulate all the programmers, developers and designers for whom web is not just another word, but something more: a means to earn money, a research object, a place of communication, a source of knowledge. In addition, I congratulate the creators of Habrahabr, the authors of original articles and just the visitors of this wonderful resource with a special feeling.

In this issue we decided to change the tradition of nominating the best authors or the best articles. In fact, it is always very difficult to choose the best and this choice is always very subjective. Therefore, instead of choosing the best authors and articles from this issue, we will simply choose the topic of the issue and put it on the cover.

The theme in this release is Workflow Foundation, a technology from Microsoft, about which the author Habrahabr 3fonov tells us in as many as two articles.

In addition to the Workflow theme, the room has something to read on other topics, of which there are 12 pieces in this issue: from PyGTK and MySQL to .NET and Silverlight. I hope you will like it.

Happy new year, reader!
