Read MoreIn the tech industry, there’s no way you won’t hear about code injection
You’ll be expected to inject code without being told exactly what to do or how to do it and that’s ok because we’re going to talk a little about what code inject is. All code injection means is that you pass in code to other code similar to how you pass in a parameter to […]
Read MoreThere are times you need things to run automatically for you when it comes to deploying websites
It’s not that deploying them is hard, it’s just repetitive. At some point it may be easier for you to write a short little script that will do all of the legwork for you. That’s where PowerShell can come in. PowerShell is a game-changer when you have access to the server your website is on. […]

I was working on something tech-related for 16+ hours a day and at first it was great. I’ve learned a lot really fast, but […]
Read MoreFlipped Coding exists for one reason: to help people with no technical background learn how to code
I remember when I first started learning how to code. I would get so frustrated because none of the classes really explained what these programming terms and concepts mean or when they would actually be used in real life.
