Notes from Anton's Desk
Happy New Year! 2010 has arrived! For us here in Toronto, 2010 brings blistering cold days and high winds. And while the cars out on the parking lot are completely buried by blowing snow, our offices are warm and cozy and are buzzing with activity. This month we welcome Al to our team, our new Client Services Manager!
Lots of exciting things are in store for Easy Projects .NET this year. Having recently released version 6.2.2, we are gearing up for version 6.3 later this month. One thing I can tell you about this upcoming release is that MS Project 2007 and Easy Projects .NET will now get along! Look for the full announcement in our next newsletter.
Enjoy the rest of this newsletter and I'll see you in the next edition of Notes from Anton's Desk!

Tip of the Month
Q: How can I sort completed activities from uncompleted ones?
A: Easy! The quickest way to do this is to open the Quick Action Panel on the left hand side, and click Hide completed activities. Your activity list will now be updated to display only the activities which have not yet been completed. And you can do the same for projects! To revert back and see everything again, simply click "Show completed activities in the Quick Action Panel.

Project Management Book of the Month
Making It Happen: A Non-Technical Guide to Project Management
by Mackenzie Kyle
Will Campbell, a reasonably competent middle manager, is suddenly thrust into managing a high-profile project that could make or break his career. With no project management experience, and armed only with the guidance of his eccentric mentor, Martha, Will learns the hard way. As Will navigates the rough seas of company politics, treacherous competition, and a project swirling out of control, he narrowly evades many pitfalls, and masters some indispensable project management tools along the way.
