EXE Magazine Visual Basic Columnist

Through connections with my agency (The Mandelbrot Set) I was approached in 1996 by EXE magazine to step in and write a feature article about three-tier architecture using Visual Basic. This came about because of a comment that I made expressing an interest writing in addition to the software development work that I do. I wrote the article and it was duly published. Several months later I was contacted again and asked whether I'd like to become a regular columnist for the magazine writing about Visual Basic. I jumped at the chance and wrote from 1998 until the sad demise of the magazine in 2000.

I've created a specific page to accompany each article. Each page contains the text that I submitted to the publisher, so it excludes any modifications that they might have made. It does, however, contain erratum, updates, and any additional information. Supplementary resources such as downloads are also available from each page.
