| These articles for Wired Publications' WebMonkey were written from mid- to late 2000, during the last gasp of the Dot Coms. Even moreso than my erstwhile employment by Stan Lee, writing for WebMonkey represented a personal milestone; If not for WebMonkey, I wouldn't have learned JavaScript or PERL nearly as quickly as I did. I never would have believed in 1998 that I would be writing for WebMonkey just two years later. http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/01/13/index0a.html  A screenshot from the tutorial.
Not quite accurately titled, this tutorial shows how PHP can be used to sniff out the color depth of the device requesting an AvantGo page. Using this information, PHP can then be used to send a corresponding image to the browser; so an AvantGo user with a Palm III would get a 2-bit image with black, white, and two shades of grey, wheras an AvantGo user with a Handspring Visor Prism would get a 16-it, 65000+ color image. http://hotwired.lycos.com/webmonkey/00/32/index3a.html  Several screenshots from the tutorial. Using freely available software for PalmOS and Windows, this tutorial shows how doodles made on a PalmOS device can be transferred to PC and then vectorized using Adobe Streamline or Macromedia Flash.
