You know that "Googling" is one of the top 5 skills for web developers?

Here 7 tips to master it

↓

Use "site:" to get results from a specific website

Use quotation marks to look for the exact phrase

Use minus sign "-" to skip those results which have the words mentioned after the minus

Use “define:” to ask Google for a definition of a word instead of relevant articles

Use “related:” to look for similar websites

Use “filetype:” to get the results that have a specific file in the document

Use “intitle:” to get the results that have the keyword mentioned in the title

Cheers

3 Tips for Technical Interview preparation that often overlooked

↓

Don’t try to memorize all the answers

It’s impossible
