The President's Column

In this newsletter, in the Scanning Literature section I talk about my new book Just Enough Electronics to Impress Your Friends and Colleagues. It's great for IP lawyers who don't have an engineering degree but need to know the basics of electronics. In the Scanning Tools section of the newsletter I discuss the growing number of programming languages that CodeSuite supports.

Send me your comments and critiques. I'm always interested in hearing from you.

Regards,

We've been getting lots of requests from customers to support more and more programming languages. The number is now up to 36 languages, with a few more on the way soon. Here they are:

If you need support for a language that's not in this table, let us know. We can create a definition file for most programming languages in an hour to a day. Drop the definition file into the languages folder in the CodeSuite installation directory and CodeSuite can analyze the language right away.
