About Us

Welcome to Hacksland, your go-to corner on the internet for computer science and cyber security related articles.

Our Story

Hi! I’m Thilan Dissanayaka, the face (and fingers on the keyboard) behind Hacksland.net. I started this blog in 2016 because I wanted a place where I could not only share my passion for technology, but also help others navigate the fast-evolving world of coding, web development, and digital productivity.

Over time, Hacksland has grown — from a small personal project into a resource hub where readers can find in-depth guides, quick tips, and deep dives across topics like [list core topics: e.g. “JavaScript, cybersecurity, low-code tools, productivity”]. My mission? To demystify tech and empower you to build skills that matter, whether you're a student, a budding developer, or just someone who loves efficient workflows.

What We Believe In

  • Practicality: Every post aims to give you useful, actionable advice — not just theory.

  • Clarity: Complex topics should be broken down into digestible, easy-to-understand content.

  • Learning: The tech world never stands still; neither does Hacksland. I’m always learning, testing, and sharing.

  • Community: Hacksland is not just about me — it’s about you. Your feedback, questions, and suggestions shape the blog.

Why Hackland Is Different

I write from experience. I’ve built real projects, made mistakes, and learned lessons — and I share both wins and failures.

My posts are not just tutorials, but explorations: I often explain “why” things work, not just “how.”

I stay current: I regularly update old posts, try out new tools, and adapt to the changing landscape of tech.
