Time really flies! Hard to believe that it’s already 7 years since we started DotNetCurry.com and 2 years since we started DNC Magazine. Yes, it is our Anniversary and everyone’s welcome to our virtual party!

In this anniversary edition of the DNC Magazine, we teach you how to create cool WPF Charts using a free charting library and how to implement MVVM in WPF. For our mobile app developers, we are featuring articles on Cross-Platform Mobile development and Image Manipulation on Windows Phone. For our Web Platform Developers, we introduce you to ASP.NET vNext, walk you through External Data access techniques using SharePoint BCS and show you how to chain async functions in jQuery. In our regular Software Gardening column we talk about version control and in a separate article, discuss Agile in VS 2013. Last but not the least, we have a unique article showing you how to create Node.js apps in Visual Studio along with Express.js and MongoDB.

Once again, we thank our fabulous contributors Craig Berntson, Filip Ekberg, Mahesh Sabnis, Pravinkumar Dabade, Ravi Kiran, Subodh Sohoni, Suprotim Agarwal, Vikram Pendse and our technical reviewers without whose time and efforts this issue wouldn't have been possible.
