Long-form material — chapter-by-chapter. Unlike the blog or wiki, these
are structured reads: table of contents, ordered articles, revision
trails on every published edit.
Work-in-progress books, public to read but not yet finished. Content may change. Not exportable until released.
The thirty-five-year arc of Microsoft Visual Basic — lineage, people, and decisions. Especially the people who don't get named in the existing histories. From Dartmouth BASIC in 1964 through the Microsoft acquisition of Alan Cooper's Tripod, the QuickBASIC dynasty, the VB6 peak, and the long .NET-shaped shadow VB6 still casts. Salvage work — the original BASIC creators are already gone, the rest of the dynasty is ageing, and the stories need to be collected before the window closes.
