Recently, I implemented a small web application in PHP, Rust, Go, Python, Ruby, C#, and Java. In this article, I'm sharing some of what I learned during that process.

As part of learning Rust — and being a lover of documentation (I 💕 the docs) — I've been learning how to document Rust code. Here’s what I’ve learned so far.

Viewing diffs and moving changes between the index and staging area is a routine task when working with Git. So, when doing that, is it quicker and easier to do that on the command line or with a GUI?

Of all the ways that I've learned to design and develop web applications, over the years, one of the most robust and effective, not to mention cheapest, is to teach someone how to use it when it's done.

Recently, I rebuilt this website from scratch using PHP's Mezzio framework, moving away from static site generators that I've used for years. Here's why I did it and what I learned in the process.

Recently, as I’ve been rebuilding my website, I had to create a redirect setup as the old and new blog structure was different. Here'show I did it, using Apache 2's mod_rewrite extension.
