These scripts began with an online course I did for lynda.com many years ago. I have since updated that course, but alas, not this site. Newer versions of these scripts are available with the updated course These scripts are mostly old, but still work well. Feel free to use them.

The scripts were designed to be simple and useful. Simple enough to show particular techniques, and useful enough to use on your web site. The scripts are progressively more complex as you go down the list.
