about a year ago, back to those times when i haven fallen into the social decrepitude of the lonely webdev running amok against code on the dim-lighted monitor screen, i subscribed to Evolt.
it was when i was starting to understand a little Javascript [ DUM-DUM DOM ], i had just 'set up a linux server' [ running a auto-install of the mandrake and read man pages ], configured some perl and php scripts packages, started a hack crusade against browsers to tweak it my way under them.
I first understood nothing.
not a single word.
But i kept reading.
The semantics of the different languages, of sys administration, are quite all the same.
Once you know a language, you almost only need to learn its particuliar syntax to make your way through a script.
So, after a moment of lurkin', after reading tutorials on some of sites, the magic of Evolt shall down to ye lonely webdev.
The best point is that we're all good-karma, ethical, medium-perplex, polyvalent coders.
I better listen to djc or jeff [ .................................... ] than to (? oh my god i don't know any shitty tutorial maker... ) some "*'guru'*" from internet.com.
I regulary tell people how good thelist is, how good everyone's karma is, i enjoy some OT or IT threads...
i heart Evolt.
