So Bitdegree reached out to me and asked me to have a look at them, which is what I’m doing in this post. It’s not a paid promotion and I’ve had a sceptical look at the site. Also this isn’t a real review of bitdegree, but more of a first impression.

Music Monday: Sabaton, Combichrist, RAMMSTEIN, Storm Seeker

This Music Monday is going to be a bit different, because it’s not about one artist or band, but a few different ones (because with the old model, I’ll never get through them all).

Cookies, sessionStorage, localStorage. What’s the difference?!

This post is about different storage possibilities in your browser. There are cookies, and different kinds of storage that can be accessed through JavaScript APIs in your client side code. They’re used for authentication, tracking tools like Google Analytics and a lot of other stuff, so let’s have a look at how they work!
