09-JUL-2003 - Just generally reorganizing the site. Added in some 'additional resource' sections for links that may be of interest.
Will be fleshing out the 'Brio Performance Tips' section as I beg/borrow/steal great ideas and take the time to write them out.
Egad! I have too many ideas for new things to write about! ;-( Oh well! At least it will keep me busy and out of trouble! ;-) I did a "proof of concept" a few weeks ago where I imported a slide from PowerPoint or Visio and used that as a basis for overlaying some clickable graphic regions. There was also this report I saw a year or so ago where the developer offered waaaaay too many user controls ... however, they also offered a really neat way for users to save and reload their control selections using an export to Word. Anyway I hope there is some stuff here that you will find useful.
All for now! RonL.

If you are going to work with a database report writer/generator, *any* database report
writer/generator, then the more you know about databases and SQL - the better off you will
be. Here is a collection of SQL links from noted freelance SQL wizard, evolt.org and f2o.org
member, and one of the authors of "Practical Web Database Design" (Stop reading and go out
and buy it right now!) --- Let's have a big 'Fangs' welcome for Mr. Rudy Limeback!!

evolt.org While not 'Brio-specific', evolt is an excellent
resource for technical advice on all things related to web technology.
freedom to operate A fine web-based rather than list-based
resource for web related technology.

that should improve your JS prowess.
