VWD-CMS Code Credits & Copyright Notices

Introduction

I've been coding for years, and I have a couple of really great web development reference books, so it's not very often that I need to search online for code samples or coding syntax help. Every so often I run into a real tough problem - usually some function or component not working the way the documentation says it should. For those cases it is such a relief that the developer community posts bug fixes and work arounds for all of the strange and mysterious behaviors.

There are other times when I need a component and just don't have time to build it myself - and it just doesn't make sense to code it myself if there is a good component or utility already available online with licensing terms that work for me and how I distribute my software.

Below you will find credits and links to some online resources that I have used during the development of VWD-CMS:
