Now you can spend your extra time in the morning working on a way to make sure the coffee is ready before you even get out of bed.
I hear wives are great for this.

Hmm...
My Holmesian ability to divine indisputable truths, which appear obvious with hindsight, from the sparsest of evidence leads me to reach a patently undeniable fact:
You haven't met my wife.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Found this[^] in an SO answer and thought I'd share it here - isn't that just the worst kind of lounge post??? 
Though what I'd be interested in also is whether they've made any commits to their forked repo. Should be possible through the Git API. Might be fun playing with.
Anyways, I thought folks here might find that helpful.

It is something you have graphically in GitHub itself...
Next to the fork button on the main page of the repo there is a number (always at least 1) - hit it...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I'd say that you need your head examined...
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Wow. That one went out with a (very small) bang!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

I'm guessing you mean the coffee, otherwise that wouldn't make any sense

I am contemplating writing a tutorial on how accounting packages work. This will include the use of an SQL Server 2008 database and Visual Basic 2010 - both being the free Express versions. Once the reader has the software on his/her computer they will be able to follow along and create the project as they go. I tried doing it in blog form but it became too cumbersome and lengthy so thought that a pdf file in book format would work better. Unfortunately I am not sure how to make this publicly available.
Does Code project support this?

Yes. You can publish articles here: Submit a new Article[^]
But I'd suggest making it a series of articles with each foscusing on one element to bring the size of each down to manageble levels.
Have a look at some existing articles, and that should give you an idea of the size to aim for: Site Map[^]
Here's one of mine, which won a "best of the month" competition: Using struct and class - what's that all about?[^] and is probably as long as you want a single article to be.

As OG told - you can send your PDF to CP, but it will not be published as PDF, but as a CP article (or articles if you follow OGs suggestion)...If you are looking for publishing as PDF (a link to a PDF) CP not the right place...

Thanks for the prompt responses.
Unfortunately each section would be equivalent to a chapter in a book so individual articles would be too long and cumbersome. It would also be difficult to keep them together so that any reader would be able to follow the entire series without playing "Hunt the next section". Not practical as I said in my original post.
I will have to look for another way of doing this.

If you want to write a book, write a book!  Several people here are published authors so they may be willing to help you find a publisher (or an ebook promoter like Amazon) if you ask them nicely.
A whole chapter as an article would be too much - but there is nothing stopping an article containing links to other articles in a series: Transferring information between two forms, Part 1: Parent to Child[^] for example refers (and links) to the otehr two tips in the series, so publishing a chapter as 5 articles which link to "next" and "previous" as well as to the other chapters is not only possible, it's a good idea!
And adding an "Introduction" article which includes a full "table of contents" would be quite feasible as well to tie it all together.

There are a lot of "series" articles on CP, the author almost always has links at the top of each article referencing all the other articles in the series, making for easy navigation, and of course you can embed links as needed in the content itself.
As to PDF format, personally I prefer working with HTML, as it's a direct copy and paste into CP's article editor, and it's easy to generate a table of contents, etc. For ToC, I use this great tool[^] but read the comments in the article's message section, as there are a couple useful bug fixes posted there.

Since you mentioned this is more like a book, you might want to contact SyncFusion and see if they're interested in publishing it as an e-book.

If your article gets to great you can split and organize it in some articles. That is often done, when the stuff gets to great. An example how it is done very well.
Press F1 for help or google it.
