Mark Gates — Author & Technology Writer

Mark Gates

Author & Technology Writer

Mark is a technology writer and author of the #1 Amazon bestselling guide to blockchain (2017). He's been building for the web since the mid-1990s: hand-coded HTML, then PHP and MySQL through the LAMP years, which is roughly thirty years of watching technologies arrive, get overhyped, and settle. That long view is why he covers PHP, SQL, and databases alongside local and on-device AI, data sovereignty, privacy, and blockchain, always with a knack for making complex topics accessible.

Editorial Standards

We are committed to producing accurate, helpful, and honest content. Our editorial process includes:

  • Hands-on testing: we use the tools we write about. Reviews and guides are based on real experience, not press releases.
  • Human editorial review: AI tools assist with research and drafting, but every article is reviewed, edited, and approved by a human editor before publication.
  • Factual accuracy: we verify claims against official documentation, changelogs, and primary sources. When we make errors, we correct them promptly.
  • Independence: our editorial decisions are not influenced by advertisers, sponsors, or tool vendors. We disclose any material relationships.

Corrections Policy

If you find an error in our content, please let us know at hello@codewalkers.com. We take corrections seriously:

  • Minor factual errors are corrected in place with an updated date.
  • Significant corrections include an editor's note explaining what changed.
  • We do not silently alter the substance of published articles.
