Ultimate /|\ ATARI 4nd d3m0 coding page !!!

So I finally did it... after two days of typing, sorting and copying, my text-collection is finished!!! As you can see, this page lacks any kind of design, you can't imagine how f*cking hard it's to collect something like this, so I haven't got any power left to play with html... All these texts I downloaded when I worked in internet caffe, I was looking for something better than Programmer's Heaven = more general texts about democoding... (www.google.com -> "democoding tutorial" ;) Some words about coding cathegories: when I was sorting these files, I created three folders: cool, ok and not interesting :) It represented how much I understood them :) In the present I'm a little bit more experienced, so this division isn't actual for me, but it can helps someone... Also: 100% rated ones are most understable texts instead of 30% (short or unclear texts). It's only my personal opinion ofcourse. There's a lot of things to be added (e.g. Atari XE/XL stuff, Motorola PDF's, Unix, security, better comments/description ...), but you have to wait to time when I'll get bored, because I want to do another things on my Atari Falcon as typing this html code ;)
