Welcome to Niche Software, a MicroISV based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Based on site feedback (and encouragement from a couple of friends), I've added a new top-level area to the site: Code.

The idea is to collect together various code based blog posts in a way that's more accessible for a casual reader.

I'd be interested in your feedback.
