Forward Slash and Backslash

Stephan Pringle Friday, September 12, 2003

Are you having problems telling the difference between a forward slash and backslash? I was confused at one point in time but I have my cheat sheet and daily use when giving support helped me to memorize it after a few minutes.

Forward Slash Uses
* Writing Dates: 09/12/2003
* Writing Fractions: (10/5)/3 = 2/3
* Writing Links: /blog/

Backslash Uses
* Access Resources: \\officeshare\
