Hey Boy Hey Girl: Basics 0.2 go live

Posted on by Bruno Bichet

Remember, it was yesterday: the last 6th of May I released Basics Version 0.1. According to my change log file, ten successive versions in ten days to achieve something not too bad. Have a look at the change logs if you do not believe me. Ok, I’ brought it with me after ironed it on the sides via Markdown Editor, an excellent online tool witch convert Markdown syntax into good HTML ready to go. Would you like to know more?
