Architecture 95% of my code is in C++, and then I have a different application layer for each platform. Windows is C++, Android is Java, iOS is Obj-C, and Windows Phone is C#.   Tools I do nearly all of my coding in Visual Studio...

GoDaddy is Suboptimal for WordPress

Posted by on Oct 23, 2012 in Everything | 0 comments

I have a confession to make. I’ve been running a website on a shared GoDaddy web server for years. During that time I’ve really never had any problems. The tech support was fine.
