DigitalOcean Acquires CSS-Tricks

DigitalOcean, in a blog post: I am excited to announce that DigitalOcean has acquired the CSS-Tricks website, a learning site with 6,500 articles, videos, guides and other content focused on frontend development. CSS-Tricks will broaden and complement our existing library of content, furthering DigitalOcean's reach with both frontend and full-stack developers, and supports our community strategy, a key differentiator for DigitalOcean in the cloud computing space. CSS-Tricks will continue operating as a standalone site supported by DigitalOcean, and CSS-Tricks founder Chris Coyier will support CSS-Tricks in an advisory capacity.

At DigitalOcean we take great pride in our commitment to the developer and startup communities. We truly believe that our community is bigger than just us, and we have demonstrated this through our creation of more than 6,000 high-quality developer tutorials and approximately 30,000 community-generated questions & answers, hosting of community-focused events such as deploy, and support of the open source community through Hacktoberfest and other initiatives.

Good thing I clicked. Was thinking about CSS Zen Garden. [csszengarden.com]

Nostalgia FTW!

That's nice

Any chance the maintainers of Slashdot to visit the site to learn CSS anytime soon?

Press release

"I am excited to announce" is almost always "Here's an ad disguised as news".

A good match

Digital Ocean regularly posts great how-to articles about how to do all kinds of super useful back end things. Great to see that they will now be supporting more front end as well.

I would have to agree. I run a couple of significant applications on DO for a several years. I have been pleasantly surprised to see how many times a search for a more challenging technical solution has brought back pages from the DO library. They not only know who their customers are, but they put valuable effort into helping folks succeed as well.

If they know who their customers are, why are their customers running so many scans on my firewall?

Every time I find one of these and the WHOIS indicates DO, the whole subnet goes into the bit bucket. That list runs to about 60 ranges now.
