This page shows 'the old days' of this site, a look into the past of JavaCoding.net!
2001 - Starting off
Some of you will still remember this site as it started off in september 2001: Plain HTML, very basic design, frames, all you could expect from a beginning hobby site! Here's a screenshot showing how JavaCoding looked like at that moment in time:
As it was hosted on free webspace at my ISP, plain HTML was the only option, and it became a burden to maintain it. We had a lot of fun working on this site - with like 20 unique visitors a day, it could go two ways - proceed the way it did (growing VERY slowly), or we could give it a big push forward.
January 2002 - The big change
As there were some cool ideas and designs for a 'bigger' JavaCoding site, the hosting was moved to a payed hosting service. The site became a database-driven website, which opened many new opportunities (like our mock exam application, etc...).
These days, JavaCoding has around 200 unique visitors a day, and is still growing.
And some really cool new things are being designed for the future ...
