A concise blog.

This is your data: This is your data without a backup: Any questions? This is especially important in programming because your data is your work product. Seriously - back up your data.  Frequently.  And keep an offsite copy.  I saw this first-hand this last week: my experience as a server administrator made me realize the need for quick system-level recovery, so during the web development course I'm in I wrote a bash script that: Runs a git command to track all changed files. Runs a git commit. Runs a git command to send that commit to GitHub. Runs a TimeMachine backup. This gives me a TimeMachine restore point every time I make a git commit, and I only have to run one command to do four things (the syntax is at the bottom of the blog). What I didn't  know is that it would come in handy last week: last week was project week, which means that I was put in a group and told to build a full-stack application in four days.  On day...

This is my programming-related blog.  There are many like it, but this one is mine.  My focus is simple: sharing short, valuable pieces of information.  I'll mainly stick to the process of programming or where the industry is headed - I may occasionally include syntax or a non-programming-related items, and I'll also link to other posts that I found valuable. When elaboration is necessary, I'll elaborate.  Otherwise, I'll let the text speak for itself. I plan to post about twice a month.
