Evolution of DevCentral

I decided to share some screenshots of DevCentral through the years. While our features have changed, our look certainly has as well!

This is the earliest image of DevCentral available from the wayback machine, from June 13, 2003:

What did DevCentral look like when you first joined?

The 2014 version was around the time I began to get more involved.

I wonder who's got the oldest account on DevCentral?

I joined 2022 the latest version. But I like 2008 version tho 😄

It is a significant evolution.

I've joined DevCentral since November 2022 , but I tend to 2018 version 💙

I remember back in early 2017 when I had my first contact with F5 and expecially with iRules, I used to spend a lot of time on Jason's "Getting Started" series .. I used to subscribe with business email back then, I've changed a few of them since 🙂 

However it was in 2020 that F5 started to be much more present in my work life and so did DevCentral in my free time, so I'm used to that look

I don't recognize 2008 at all, which is possible, was it a hard cut from that one to 2014 style?

[Leslie_Hubertus]

Nope, there were other iterations in there, but I cut some out for brevity. 

Here's a shot from June 12, 2010:

Nice, from 2012 it starts getting more rememberable, which makes sense when i think about it.

I, too, have difficulty clearly remember things from over a decade ago. 😆
