Welcome to the laboratory

In this section I'd like to share (hopefully) useful things which came accross my way playing the computer. Nothing here is so-called "production ready". But like me you propably start your research for tips and hints by crawling the net. Therefore I'd like to publish those information I take for useful - quid pro quo.

If content needs to be licensed (e.g. source code) you can find adequate license notices within each publication. Please note that this does not affect external information I link to.

If you have questions or want to discuss a topic feel free to use the commentary section below each page (if offered).

Snippets for web designers and web developers

Not much in here by now. I want to collect topics that aren't documented elsewhere or hard to find. Moreover I myself am a lousy designer. It would be a waste of time to enjoy my production stuff only. See my snippets for web design + dev.

Windows Type Libraries and freepascal

In times of .Net it may seem awkward to you using freepascal. But in fact I like the language and when I needed to use a typelib I realized that the most free information and stuff on the net is dealing with Delphi. I know Delphi since ages. Freepascal is in big progress and doesn't have to hide behind Delphi. Read my comments about using a type library in freepascal.
