Technical Web Development Articles

ASP.NET Developer's Cookbook I wrote a couple
of recipes for this developer's reference book. It contains over 250 VB.NET examples. C#
versions of all the recipes are available from the book's website. |

ASPToday.com
ASPToday.com is a popular subscription site targetted at web developers using Windows
technologies. My first article for ASPToday.com: ASP Documentation Systems (A look at
commercial ASP documentation systems, and how to go about creating your own system). |

ASPAlliance.com
The ASP Alliance was founded in 1997 and allows ASP and web technology experts to share
their knowledge with the developer community. Most technical articles I write are posted
here. Most popular article: VBScript
Regular Expressions (Using Regular Expressions with VBScript - a brief introduction). |

Ariadne
In early 1999 I was commissioned to write a column for the
quarterly online newsletter Ariadne. This is a web magazine covering Internet issues for
librarians and information specialists. The column addresses how Windows NT technology can
be used to enhance an institutions web presence. My last described the Index Server
Companion, and was published in the September 2002 issue. Previous articles have covered
the Simple Object Access Protocol
(SOAP), Internet Information
Server, Site Server Search, Active Server Pages and Site Server 3.0 Commerce Edition.

ASPWatch
Active Server Pages (ASP) are my main area of expertise. Between 1999 and 2000 I wrote
the occasional article for the site. Unfortunately the site is no longer online, but many
of the ASP scripts are still available. |

The Complete
Webmaster
The Complete Webmaster was established as a complete site for web developers, with
articles. Unfortunately the site hasn't been updated for a long time. Between January 1998
and January 1999 I wrote 19 web tutorials for The Complete Webmaster, covering JavaScript,
ASP and FrontPage 98. A complete list of my articles for The
Complete Webmaster is available. Most popular article: A JavaScript Banner Ad
Rotator.

| The Website Utility |
| The Website Utility examines websites for errors and
areas that need to be optimised for search engines by using a built in web crawling engine.
Errors checked for include broken or moved hyperlinks, missing page titles and missing meta tags.
It also generates HTML for use in creating website site maps (table of contents pages - like this one), and is
able to create both client-side JavaScript Search Engines and server-side ASP Search Engines for a website. |
