Why Archive Old Content?
Technology moves quickly, and advice that was valid in 2007 may not apply today. Rather than leave outdated information online (which could lead developers astray), we've:
- Preserved the URL so existing links don't break
- Updated the most valuable content for current technologies
- Redirected to relevant modern resources where possible
This approach ensures that visitors who follow old links still get helpful information, while avoiding the spread of outdated practices.
