This section is in constant evolution.
Its aim it is simply that of sharing interesting resources or reading I found in my digital wandering.
I hope you may find some of them interesting!

  • CSS colors. From Mozilla website a quick reference to CSS colors, keyword and hexadecimal number.
  • Programmableweb. A very useful APIs directory.
  • Kong (formerly Mashape). Microservice APIs management.

 

General purpose

  • Stackoverflow. Life-saving forum. The answers to many of your questions are already there, other way just ask!
