Gummy-stuff

Peter Ponzo ("Pietro"), also known as "gummy", created a large number of tutorials after his retirement from the University of Waterloo. It is an honour to provide an archive of that body of work, which is known as "gummy-stuff", and comprises a total of 466 tutorials on a variety of financial and non-financial topics. This article provides links to those archived tutorials for greater ease of access.

The tutorials table below contains all the original gummy'isms, i.e. spelling and grammar mistakes are gummy's. gummy's choices of colours and fonts have been removed to conform with Wiki standards. The table is presented in its original order.

There is no intention to Wikify the actual tutorials. Have you looked at the html source? We have.

Buying a CD
It's been several years since Gummy mailed the first gummy-stuff CD. Because the website has changed dramatically since then, he has had a few requests for the latest version, from previous buyers. Some fella said "he'd like to buy a CD when I'm finished". To which Gummy replied "I said I'd be finished when I drop dead ... but then, so would gummy-stuff." Gummy's not dead yet but he has decided that the easiest way to provide the latest version of the site to interested parties is to have my friends at the Financial Webring host an archive of the site. If you want the whole thing in compressed form, look at gummy-stuff zip file.
