Technology	ckknight	ckknight	10 Dec 2008

Encodings, or: Validating UTF8	anmoch	anmoch	24 Oct 2008
Contrary to what some people expect, not every file is valid UTF8.

WAR addons must encode their files in either little-endian UTF-16 with a BOM, or plain ASCII. Notation Most numbers are in decimal; byte ...

Why use Revision Control?	ckknight	ckknight	22 Sep 2008
Many authors think that writing code, zipping it up, and uploading is a fine way to go about addon development, but it's far from perfect.

Working with other developers is done in a standard way, you don't have to pass around files to contribute. Concept of branching and merging. You can work on side ...
