I think I want my programming section to consist of just tutorials this time, instead of downloadable examples. Well, I may do a little of both, but tutorials appeal a lot more to me. And for the moment being, I&#8217;m not taking any submissions, even though I&#8217;ve had a few people offer to write examples. Somewhere inside of me there is a Regular Expressions tutorial, but I want to wait a while, and I need to think up some really good examples for it. In school when I was taught about regular expressions, they were presented in the most boring way possible and we were shown no real world application of them. It was only recently that I re-discovered them and realized how great they really were.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve stopped doing Spot Lighted Site posts and no one has called me on it. Not that I&#8217;d think any of you would lose any sleep over it, I felt kind of corny doing a weekly feature like that anyway. From now on I&#8217;m only going to sporadically feature a site or an article, since a lot of &#8220;Spot Lighted&#8221; posts might clutter up the main page and make it harder for people to find the real news. I&#8217;m also kind of torn on what kind of sites to feature. In the past I&#8217;ve featured some completely non-programming related sites like antigirl.com and sullen (now defunct), but it doesn&#8217;t really make a whole lot of sense for me to do that. I think I want to keep this site mostly on focus &#8211; though deviations from time to time are good. So I guess with all this rambling what I&#8217;m trying to say is that there&#8217;ll be less Spot Lighted Sites (like what&#8217;s been happening for the past month), and when something is talked about, it&#8217;ll hopefully have some kind of interest to the people who come here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve added a few things from my previous site: Visual Basic Arrays Tutorial by Adam Wehmann &#8211; An array tutorial that covers the basics of arrays and how you use them in VB.
