Stylus Scoop - July. '05 — The Stylus Studio Employee Discount for Everyone Program

Dear Stylus Studio Friend,

Summer school is now in session at stylusstudio.com! New online videos demonstrations explain how to use the new Java Code Generator, Working with XQuery, and more. Also, a new Stylus Studio Hack article covers how to build an XML adapter for non-XML to XML data integration. Just 10 minutes a month — that's all we ask, and in return we'll help make you the XML guru on your team, and save you a ton of time and effort in your future work.

Also in this month's issue: You get the Stylus Studio Employee Discount! That's right, for many years we Stylus Studio employees were selfishly reaping the benefits of a generous employee discount on our award winning XML tools all for ourselves — but since we're all a big family of XML developers, we've decided to share the love with all you! Read on for more information. All this and more in the Stylus 'Scoop, your number one source for XML and XQuery education!

Sincerely,

Ivan Pedruzzi, Senior Product Architect, and the Stylus Studio Team
