Google was almost called Backrub when it first started! ๐ฒ
The name came from its focus on analyzing backlinks to measure a website's importance. But imagine saying, "Let me Backrub that!" ๐ Doesn't quite have the same ring, does it?
Luckily, they switched it to Google, inspired by the term googol (the number 1 followed by 100 zeros), representing their mission to organize an endless amount of information! ๐โจ

๐ Web Tip: Why You Should Add Version Numbers to Your CSS & JavaScript Files ๐งโ๐ป
When working on a website, adding version numbers to your CSS and JS files is crucial! Here's why:
๐ก Tip: Use a query string with each file update like style.css?v=1.3. You can automate versioning with build tools!

When working on a website, adding version numbers to your CSS and JS files is crucial! Here's why:
1๏ธโฃ Cache Busting:
Browsers cache your files to improve performance. But this can be problematic when you update your CSS/JS. By adding a version number (e.g., style.css?v=1.2), you ensure that users always get the latest version, not a cached one.
2๏ธโฃ Easy Updates:
When you release a new update, changing the version number guarantees that users will fetch the newest files instead of relying on the old cached versions.
3๏ธโฃ Debugging Made Easy:
Versioning helps identify which version of a file is causing issues, making debugging simpler.
๐ก Tip: Use a query string with each file update like style.css?v=1.3. You can automate versioning with build tools!

๐ JavaScript Strict Mode:
Did you know JavaScript has a "strict mode" that helps you write safer and more optimized code? ๐
What is 'use strict'?
Adding 'use strict'; at the top of your script or function enforces stricter parsing and error handling, preventing common mistakes.
Benefits of Strict Mode:
โ๏ธ Catches silent errors by turning them into throw errors
โ๏ธ Prevents accidental global variables
โ๏ธ Disallows duplicate parameter names
โ๏ธ Makes eval() and arguments safer
โ๏ธ Restricts deprecated features
How to Use It?
Simply add this at the beginning of your script or function:
๐ Pro Tip:
Always use strict mode for cleaner, more reliable JavaScript!
