Changes at DPS

With the end of the year approaching I thought I'd take some time out this week to share a little about how DPS has been going and where we're headed as a community.

It has been a massive year with millions of visitors, hundreds of tutorials, many thousands of forum discussions and a lot of fun..... BUT WE'VE ONLY JUST BEGUN!!!
 
In the new year we'll unveil a new design, two new blogs, some great new assignments, new writers and a lot more.
 
Check out more details of some of the changes that are planned here on the DPS BLOG.
