CGI

Here’s a very handy tutorial on CGI Programming.

Observation

from inessential.com: Of course, my hope is that any programmer who uses the Web also gives back to the Web, posts their solved problems, tips, sample code, and so on. (I’m lucky that I get to do this as part of my job.) For a programmer these days, knowing how to learn on the Web

Read.  Learn.

Read. Learn.

I found this excellent essay about writing computer code at evhead. The author makes several very good points about reading and writing in a programming language.

Works in Progress

If you’re converting to MovableType or just beginning an MT blog, you might want to check out my new Works in Progress site.

Beginning

This is going to be a blog for information related to my many projects. Mostly I will probably write about programs I am writing and web development work I am doing, and I imagine this will mainly be a personal blog. I doubt many people will be interested in learning about listview columnheaders or SQL

What Is This?

davidgagne.net is the personal weblog of me, David Vincent Gagne. I've been publishing here since 1999, which makes this one of the oldest continuously-updated websites on the Internet.
