The two sites are the leading independent online communities for developers using the Microsoft.NET Framework and those using Microsoft SQL Server respectively.
Peter Westerman, vice-president of CMP's Software Development Media Group. "The DotNetJunkies and SqlJunkies.com websites are an excellent fit with our existing publications, websites and events."
"CMP is dedicated to providing developers with information and venues where they can share ideas and expertise and the Junkies sites excel at this."
United said that while the two sites will remain separate and distinct, they will join CMP's portfolio of software development properties, which include Dr. Dobb's Journal, Software Development Magazine, the Software Development Conference, MSDN, TechNet Magazine, and C.C++ Users Journal, among others.
DotNetJunkies.com was set up in 2000 and SQLJunkies.com in 2003 by developers Doug Seven and Donny Mack.
