Our organization operates as an open-source web content publisher, proudly affiliated with GitHub, a leading platform for developers worldwide. As a part of the open-source community, our work is freely available to all, and we are committed to contributing valuable knowledge and resources to the global tech community.
GitHub: Our Affiliation and Platform
GitHub, founded in 2008 by Chris Wanstrath, Scott Chacon, Tom Preston-Werner, and P. J. Hyett, is a powerful developer platform that enables developers to create, store, manage, and share their code. As a subsidiary of Microsoft since 2018, GitHub continues to empower millions of developers by providing essential tools such as version control, bug tracking, task management, and continuous integration.
GitHub is not only our platform of choice but also the custodian of all ownership and copyright associated with our publications. This means that any content we create and publish is protected under GitHub’s comprehensive framework, ensuring that our contributions are preserved, accessible, and beneficial to the wider community.
Copyright and Ownership
All content published by our organization is governed by GitHub’s terms and conditions. As open-source advocates, we believe in the free distribution of knowledge, and therefore, our content is licensed under open-source licenses as dictated by GitHub’s guidelines. This approach aligns with our mission to educate and empower the tech community without barriers.
Funding and Financial Structure
Our organization is entirely volunteer-driven. We do not receive any funding, grants, or financial support from external sources.
