These articles covered a range of topics and included my own photographs and illustrations. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>October 2003: <a href=\"https:\/\/pmstudios.co.uk\/articles-written\/smallholder-200310-starting-out.pdf\">Starting Out<\/a>.

IBM  has gone through a number of name changes and the magazine has changed its name to follow but this was the name at the time. I first started writing for this magazine in 2003 and continued to 2006 when I left the industry. In this time I also wrote <a href=\"https:\/\/pmstudios.co.uk\/articles-written\/iSeriesNews-March2007v2.jpg\">their first blog<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing for this magazine required that the articles should be of interest to the experienced programmer, but also appeal to, and inform, the beginner. With the number of articles I had published in this magazine I feel that I succeeded in this aim. Here is a partial list of articles published (These are somewhat technical in nature):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>September 2003: <a href=\"https:\/\/pmstudios.co.uk\/articles-written\/ISN-200309-side-by-side-subfiles.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Side-by-Side Subfiles<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>December 2003: <a href=\"https:\/\/pmstudios.co.uk\/articles-written\/ISN-200312-Working-with-APIs-Part-1.pdf\">Working with APIs Part 1<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Throughout 2004: <a href=\"https:\/\/pmstudios.co.uk\/articles-written\/ISN-2004-GBU.pdf\">The Good, The Bad and The Ugly<\/a>.
