Resources

This is a collection of resources I have gathered over the years. Some things are written by me, but most are not. I make no claims of authorship or ownership. Also, I give complete permission for someone to take and modify the things I did write. I just ask that you also don't claim ownership if you use my stuff.

NOTE: Some requirements-related items may be out-dated. Always check the latest requirements.
