Welcome to this week's newsletter from The Code Project.
To ensure that future newsletters you receive from The Code Project aren't mistakenly blocked by antispam software, be sure to add the maillist.codeproject.com domain to your list of allowed senders.
We've been doing a lot of construction these last few weeks and one of the most eagerly awaited peices of the puzzle, for us, has been a project that will allow us to scale out (instead of up) our database capabilities. Dmitry has worked his magic so hang on to your hats as we test drive the new beast and see what it can do. As always, if you see anything really odd then post a report in our 'Bugs and Suggestions' forum (linked from the homepage under 'Message boards')

What is the main reason a deadline would not be met?
