Codetown ::: a software developer's community
JR Wilbert has not received any gifts yet
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

Hi JR and welcome to Codetown! I hope to see you blogging soon - what you blog here winds up on the Codetown homepage, so it will be much appreciated. I know there's a lot of buzz locally about GWT, so if you feel like writing up something like a case study or share a tip, that would be popular.
All the best,
Michael Levin
