Programming From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor Hello Programmers! This week we take a look at web cookies, not quite as tasty as chocolate chip but somewhat more useful in programming. We also look at boolean logic, a review of a Ruby book, and commenting in Delphi code. Have a great week! Web Cookie FAQ Web cookies are a way of storing small amounts of data on the computer of your customer. It is not particularly hard to add cookies to your web pages with JavaScript. And web developers use cookies for many different things. But there are a few things you should know about cookies. Here are some of the questions I get asked about cookies.
