SAN FRANCISCO
Apr 4, 2005

CMP Media LLC (www.cmp.com) today announced its acquisition of the DotNetJunkies.com and SqlJunkies.com Web sites.

DotNetJunkies.com and SqlJunkies.com are independent online communities for developers using the Microsoft .NET Framework and those building solutions using Microsoft SQL Server respectively.

"The DotNetJunkies and SqlJunkies Web sites are an excellent fit with our existing publications, Web sites and events", said Peter Westerman, Vice-President of CMP's Software Development Media Group. "CMP is dedicated to providing developers with information and venues where they can share ideas and expertise, and the Junkies sites excel at this."

The founders of DotNetJunkies.com and SqlJunkies.com will remain involved with the sites. Doug Seven said, "We are particularly excited about the opportunities this creates to expand the sites by leveraging our expertise with Microsoft technology and the publishing capabilities of CMP. We see this as a win-win for our readers and members."

While these two Web sites will remain separate and distinct, they join CMP's extensive portfolio of software development properties, which include Dr. Dobb's Journal, Software Development magazine, the Software Development Conference, MSDN Magazine, TechNet Magazine, and C/C++ Users Journal, among others.
