QR Codes: like barcodes, just better

Quick Response Code
A Quick Response Code

QR Codes, neu Quick Response Codes, are all the rage nowadays. Rydych yn gwybod, those black-and-white barcode-looking thingies that show up on magazines, posters, and even some t-shirts.

A QR Code is actually fairly similar to a barcode: it’s an image that encodes data fel URLs, phone numbers, words, and more. You can even take a picture and sort of turn it into a QR code (the picture is uploaded to the internet and the QR code encodes the URL of the picture.) Sure you lose some aesthetic value, but hey.

HTML5, CSS3, a JavaScript: dyfodol y we

Cyn i mi ddechrau, daith drwy hanes byr…

Mae'n 1999. Internet Explorer 5 yn stwff poeth, y swigen technoleg yn tyfu. Ac Mariano Rivera yn y Byd Cyfres MVP. A phobl ifanc (gasp.)

Mae datblygwr ar y we yn eistedd ar ei gyfrifiadur, yfed coffi ac ysgrifennu rhai cod. Mae eisiau gwneud yn gêm porwr sy'n seiliedig ar. Yr unig ffordd y gall wneud hyn yw defnyddio Adobe Flash llwyfan i wneud movie rhyngweithiol a mewnosod hynny yn ei gwefan.

Mae am i roi fideo ar ei safle yn rhy. YouTube sounds like the name of a cheesy subway line, nothing more. Our developer has to make a Flash movie for that, yn rhy.

Anghofiwch fflachia drives gyda Dropbox

I’m sure this happens to a lot of people: you have an important file on your flash drive and you need to hand it in, print it out, or take it somewhere else. Only problem? You lose your flash drive. It’s happened to me far too many times.

So that’s why I decided to eschew flash drives and emailing stuff to myself and use the power of the internet.

I found Dropbox, which lets me access my files from anywhere as long as I have an internet connection. I don’t even need a flash drive any more; I can just store everything I need on my Dropbox account.
