Rated Top Rated - 2nd Tier - March 01, 2006
Clarion Third Party Best Worst Dressed List
Complete Best Dressed - Worst Dressed List at:

Before I begin the evaluation - let me note, there are few NON Clarion Third
Party Developers listed. As such, they must ask to be listed, and obviously
have a strong connection to Clarion Third Party Developers/Products.
And since these web sites are not competing directly in similar ways that
Clarion Third Party Developers have in common, I will not issue Best Dressed
ranking to any of these sites. Top Rated - 2nd Tier will be the highest
designation given if the site deserves it.
Of course, this is the Number One resource for Clarion Education, bar none!
Dave Harms has consistently made this site and it's wealth of information
more valuable over time, easier to locate, and the layout has consistently
become more efficient and updated with state of the art publishing
techniques such as Blogs, RSS Feeds, PODCASTs, E-books offerings, and more!
Of course, Dave had a publisher's viewpoint and sense of style from the
earlier beginnings - take a look at this 1999 Internet Archive look - Don't
you miss that Cowboy sitting on the fence! <g>

Of interest to my publishing the Clarion Third Party Profile Exchange over
the years has been the First Class formatting and consistency and
Professional touches given to Clarion News.
A small area of interest is the Download Files page - while not extensive,
some very important files have been managed in this area for years - lots of
developers have come and gone with download links, but Clarion Magazine has
been faithful in maintaining this important section.
One of the most exciting new offerings over the last year have been the
PODCASTs with Andrew Guidroz and David Harms. Excellent hosts with insight,
comments, and news in the making guests, a very enjoyable way to present and
receive news and technical discussions!
Couple all of the above mentioned benefits (many of them free to the
public), and then catalog an exhaustive subscriber collection of first rate
written articles, examples, source code, product evaluations, and SO much
more, well - Dave Harms and Clarion Magazine are shoo-ins for the first
Clarion Hall of Fame!
Dave, thanks for all your collective hard work through the years. You've
been a Clarion friend, technical giant, and a amazing contributor of
innovative, cutting edge ways to help the Clarion community grow and become
more technically adept!
David
