Persistent Storage and Data Aware Controls
Tuesday, September 24, 2013
We are currently updating the Grade 11 books to include persistent storage and data aware controls.  This will be continued in the Grade 12 books.  We will keep the DB class as a method of connecting a database to a Java/Delphi program. We think it is important to include both methods in the books.

The exploring IT series is currently being converted to ePub format and will be available digitally next year.  We will add the links to the digital versions to this website as soon as the books are completed. We are currently signing contracts to sell the books via Kalahari in print version.  Books will still be available via Colleen using this website.
