Dawn of the Geeks

The Compilers, SDKs, Source Code and Programming books are being consolidated into DevCenter. The Programming books are still available in the old section for now. They’ll be moved over in a day or so. The files have been removed from the other sections already. The old sections will forward requests soon so the transition is smoother.

The motivation for this is complex. The main motivation is the fact that nearly half my visitors don’t have javascript enabled and therefore aren’t seeing the ads and hence costing me money without any chance of recouping those costs through ad revenue. The other motivation is that this site is huge. It’s time to start simplifying things. Having four large sections combined into one site makes it a lot easier to maintain. If I want to change the look of the site I no longer have four sites to mess with. I have a single site to update.

The new challenge however is handling a single large database. But this is a good excercise in learning how to effectively and efficiently make use of mySQL. Anyway I think that’s enough of a heads up for now. If you’re here looking for compilers, sdks or source code, head to the DevCenter. It’ll all be there within a day or so. It’s rediculous number of files I have to get added to the database and it takes quite awhile to do.
