For bugs that arise from the HTML and script received by the browser or in the transfer or request of a page's markup, developers often adopt archaic debugging techniques, such as using View Source and Notepad to scrutinize the contents received by the browser. Scott Mitchell	Advanced Basics: IntelliSense Code Snippets IntelliSense code snippets are one of the coolest new features in Visual Studio® 2005.

Aaron Skonnard	Security Briefs: A First Look at InfoCard The Web can be annoying at times. I'm certain that I'm not alone in my frustration with filling out the same old forms on every Web site I visit. Like most other techies, I've acquired many tools over the years to help combat this repetition, and I even wrote my own password manager for my hundreds of different identities on the Web. Keith Brown	Pure C++: How Templates and Generics Work Together I'm closing out this series of columns on generic programming in the Microsoft® . NET Framework by showing how templates and generics do and do not work together, and pointing out a pitfall with the current implementation of templates under Visual C++® 2005. Stanley B. Lippman
