Programming

These links are for me to use regularly and for reference by others.
I haven't tested some links for value yet, but in time I will.
Some of these links will require further investigation.
Despite this, I've published this page to prove I'm doing work. :-)
Some of these links are useful and it helps motivate me.
Please let me know if you've got any improvements.
