Code Examples Automation

I had a bit of fun yesterday automating the code upload for the Code examples page.

I was getting tired of hand-maintaining the unordered list on the page, so I wrote a program to pull the elements out of the code control library in the order they were inserted and automatically generate the list. The HTML code is then added to the zip file that is FTPed to the web host each night, and it is displayed with a server side include.

Now I just have to concentrate on writing the examples instead of maintaining the list.

Automation is good.
