I've posted some new material in the last couple of weeks:

Introduction to XML

After reading my Introduction to .Net someone asked if I knew of a similar introduction to XML. I realized that I'd done one for Personal Computer World a while back. I've posted this with some minor revisions.

Notes on Sqlite

These are some notes on getting this fine free database library working in .Net, Delphi and Java, including Mac OS X.

A simple VB.Net database example

This is example code to accompany a recent Hands On article in Personal Computer World. A reader had asked how to code a simple database application in VB.Net. It reminded me how unreasonably hard it is for a beginner. Please don't mention the data form wizard. This example is one way to do it. It separates data access from the Windows forms GUI; I've included a link to an example ASP.Net application which uses the same DLL for data access. Don't expect too much; this is a very simple example aimed at complete beginners.
