Welcome to Thinkydink, the web and software help site where a little knowledge is a good thing and beginners are welcome. Whether you're a beginning web surfer or a full-fledged developer you can find helpful tips, tricks and tutorials here.

What's New? I've thrown myself fully into the Independent Author movement; click here to see my author website, where you can read all about it and check out free excerpts from my published novels. I'm no longer employed as a Software Engineer / Web Developer, but I do still administer a few websites and still get emails now and then from someone who says they found some help here, so I'm leaving the site up for the foreseeable future.

Most of what's here is pretty dated by current developer standards, but as far as I know there are still plenty of people coding in good old fashioned HTML, VB, Javascript and ASP---or inheriting stuff that was coded in those languages---, so this site may yet be a last bastion of help and hope for anyone dealing with old-school code.

If you've got the time and money to take a class in something then by all means do it, because that's the most thorough education you'll get in any subject. But if you're short on money and you need to know how to do something specific within an hour or less, Thinkydink may be the answer to your prayers.

To see a sampling of what's available here, check out the Find It Quick List at left. If I haven't covered it in one of my own tutorials, you're sure to find your desired subject matter among the provided links. The Brain Dump has a lot of good stuff too. Finally, note that the material presented here is not applicable to the Mac/Apple computing world. Sorry, Macheads.
