I’ve been doing this and that kind of code here and there for years. When an idea pops into my head that I want to execute in a page that I haven’t done before, I just go do some fishing and figure it out. I’ve never actually taken a class (that I attended) in [...]
The Big Wik and the Painted Lady
It’s interesting to me, as I read posts, to see how comfortable people are with the ‘fast-and-loose’ character of Wikipedia.
