Recent Updates

It’s update time! Here is a list of some of most important updates that have happened on this site in the last month or so…

• New image format for the Component Package page images! For each component package, I have begun to use an individual slideshow for the associated images. This looks way better than the existing way of just posting the associated images one-by-one down the page.

• The is a new page on Memory under Components.

• There are new pages under Web Design on node.js (or just called node) and JSON.
