About CodeCrunch

CodeCrunch started out as a personal tutorial site for Patrick Crampton, the owner of RentedWeb Webmaster Services. In many ways this site is dedicated to the ongoing efforts of Open Source founders and ideologists that follow in their footsteps. I’ve never felt more compelled in my life to support the Open Source community, so much that I’ve deleted all my old content and have opted to dedicate this site to Web Design that is based on open standards and Open Source tools.

What we are about

With the internet – without spending a dime, one could learn an entire programming language, or teach themselves how to manage a database. And that’s the beauty of the internet that CodeCrunch has fallen in love with. We started out small by offering tutorials in Photoshop and PHP, but found our time limited by the fact that while it’s great to share fun tutorials with others, it’s doesn’t pay the bills. So over the years we’ve come to the conclusion that we can share our information with all of you and still maintain a level of income to sustain the community. It’s the Open Source drive in us that refuses to let us close our doors or succumb to the daily poundings of outside sources. With that said – we will continue to provide news, tutorials, and Open Source software for our community for as long as people are enjoying it. That’s what we do.

Why Open Source and Why now?

Times are changing, and faster than ever. Companies are adopting viable Open Source solutions at a faster rate than ever, and we feel this is great for the market. It was predicted years ago that the Open Source and it’s encompassing software model would take businesses by storm. While we have yet to see the wider implementation of Open Source many expected, it is picking up steam. And the truth is – we really want to be a part of it.
