A Texas-focused training platform for CTE welding teachers and students, with live webinars, workshops, on-demand video, and a question board.

Why it surfaced

Code First Training has a sharply defined audience and a genuinely useful format: live Microsoft Teams sessions, PDH-eligible workshops, and recorded lessons organized around SMAW, GMAW, GTAW, safety, certification, and welding codes. Its promise to provide answers from teachers and welding professionals gives the site more community texture than a standard course catalog.

August 10’s newborn domains include a mock cryptid council that specifically discourages ham, a vintage phone collecting messages for Twyla’s 70th, a 4.5-meter dish measuring Galactic hydrogen at 1420 MHz, and an open index that found 530 sites permitting GPTBot in robots.txt while refusing it at the server.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-10 Domain Arrivals issue.
