Changelog

Here are the high-level changes to Full Stack Python in reverse chronological order since its inception in December 2012. You can view commit-level changes via the source repository's commit log on GitHub.

2022

October

  • Starting to get back into updating this site again! Note that I'll probably spend most of my side project time on Plushcap but I'm removing old resources and adding new good ones on here to keep the site maintained.

March

  • I decided to go so minimal that I removed the logo to make the site load faster, and also got rid of some unncessary CSS on front page.

February

  • Still on break, but updated the header and footer. Also made some website tweaks to make it faster.

2021

October

  • Taking a break for a few months to recharge and work on a different coding side project that I'm excited about. Be back in a few months with some updates.

September

  • Clean up continues across the site to remove link rot and replace out-of-date links with newer ones where necessary.

August

June

  • Fix broken links across the site. It's a real shame people and companies don't use 301 redirects more often rather than just breaking their URL structures.
