Below is an archive of "Daily TidBits (Programming and Otherwise)" as compiled by Daniel Lipkie.
The inspiration for having "Daily TidBits" was the book "Writing Solid Code" by Steve Maguire although the TidBits themselves are derived from many sources and cover more than just programming.
Comments, contributions, counter-reasons should be sent to Daniel Lipkie .
Sorry … there no longer is an email list for new tidbits … tidbits have not been updated since 97/08/06.
