First Stages of SEO : Defining Your Site’s Information Architecture

Whether you have built a site already or not, you should plan to research the desired site architecture (from an SEO perspective) at the start of your SEO project, a task which can be divided into two major components: technology decisions and structural decisions.

First Stages of SEO : The Major Elements of Planning

As any experienced SEO consultant will tell you, you should incorporate your SEO strategy into the site planning process long before your site goes live. Your strategy should be well outlined before you make even the most basic technology choices, such as the hosting platform and your CMS.

Understanding Your Audience and Finding Your Niche

A nontrivial part of an SEO plan is figuring out who you are targeting with your website. This is not always that easy to determine. As you will see in this section, many factors enter into this, including the competition, the particular strengths or weaknesses of your own company, and more.

Developing an SEO Plan Prior to Site Development

It is widely understood in the industry that search engine optimization should be built in, as early as possible, to the entire site development strategy, from choosing a content management system (CMS) and planning site architecture to on-page content development

Setting SEO Goals and Objectives

SEO, once a highly specialized task relegated to the back rooms of a website development team, is now a mainstream marketing activity. This dramatic rise can be attributed to three emerging trends

jQuery 1.3 : Developing plugins - Adding a selector expression

Built-in parts of jQuery can be extended as well. Rather than adding new methods, we can customize existing ones. A common desire, for example, is to expand on the selector expressions provided by jQuery to provide more esoteric options.

jQuery 1.3 : Developing plugins - Method parameters

We've now seen several examples of plugin methods, some of which take explicit parameters, and some of which do not. As we have explored, the keyword this is always available to provide context for the method, but we can also supply additional information to influence the method's operation

The LINQ Set Operators

LINQ to Objects has standard query operators for working on sets of elements within collections. These operators allow two different collections (containing the same types of elements) to be merged into a single collection using various methods.

iPhone 3D Programming : Vertices and Touch Points - Creating a Wireframe Viewer (part 3)

Apple provides the UITabBar widget as part of the UIKit framework. This is the familiar list of gray icons that many applications have along the bottom of the screen, as shown in Figure 4.

iPhone 3D Programming : Vertices and Touch Points - Creating a Wireframe Viewer (part 2)

In the HelloCone and HelloArrow samples, you might have noticed some duplication of logic between the ES 1.1 and ES 2.0 backends.

iPhone 3D Programming : Vertices and Touch Points - Creating a Wireframe Viewer (part 1)

The rotation in Touch Cone was restricted to the plane, but this app will let you spin the geometry topology to create a simple wireframe viewer, as shown in around to any orientation

iPhone 3D Programming : Vertices and Touch Points - Boosting Performance with Vertex Buffer Objects

OpenGL provides a mechanism called vertex buffer objects (often known as VBOs) whereby you give it ownership of a set of vertices (and/or indices), allowing you to free up CPU memory and avoid frequent CPU-to-GPU transfers.

iPhone 3D Programming : Vertices and Touch Points - Saving Memory with Vertex Indexing

So far we’ve been using the glDrawArrays function for all our rendering. OpenGL ES offers another way of kicking off a sequence of triangles (or lines or points) through the use of the glDrawElements function

iPhone 3D Programming : Vertices and Touch Points - Reading the Touchscreen

You’ll need to change the name of the app from HelloCone to TouchCone, since the user now touches the cone instead of merely greeting it

iPhone 3D Programming : HelloCone with Shaders

Rather than modify the version of RenderingEngine2.cpp from HelloArrow, it will be more instructive if we can start our ES 2.0 backend by copying the contents of RenderingEngine1.cpp over whatever is already in RenderingEngine2.cpp

Search Engine Basics : Country-Specific Search Engines

At this stage, search is truly global in its reach. Google is the dominant search engine in many countries, but not all of them. How you optimize your website depends heavily on the target market for that site, and the search engine(s) that is (are) the most important in that market.

Search Engine Basics : Vertical Search Engines

Vertical search is the term people sometimes use for specialty or niche search engines that focus on a limited data set (as already mentioned, Google calls them onebox results).

Building Android Apps : Animation - Adding the Settings Panel

We haven’t yet created a button that will allow users to navigate to a Settings panel, so let’s add one to the toolbar on the Home panel. All it takes is a single line of HTML, shown in bold

Building Android Apps : Animation - Adding the New Entry Panel

Example 1 shows the source code for the New Entry panel. Add this code to the end of index.html, before the closing

Building Android Apps : Animation - Adding the Date Panel

The Date panel looks a lot like the previous panels, with a couple of exceptions . Add the HTML for the Date panel right after the Dates panel, just before the closing

Building Android Apps : Animation - Adding the Dates Panel

Let’s add the Dates panel. The Dates panel will have a list of relative dates beginning with today and going back to five days ago ). Add the HTML for the Dates panel right after the About panel

Building Android Apps : Animation - Sliding Home

We are going to build a simple calorie-tracking application called Kilo that allows the user to add and delete food entries for a given date.

Programming Windows Azure : Understanding the Value of Queues

Think about your last trip to your local, high-volume coffee shop. You walk up to a counter and place an order by paying for your drink. The barista marks a cup with your order and places it in a queue, where someone else picks it up and makes your drink.

Programming Windows Azure : Table Operations - Deleting Tables, Deleting Entities

Deleting tables is extremely easy. A simple call to CloudTableClient.DeleteTable will obliterate all your tables. Note that deleting large tables can take some time. If you try to re-create a table quickly after it is deleted, you could get an error message.

Programming Windows Azure : Table Operations - Updating Entities

It wouldn’t be much fun if you couldn’t update data once you put it in storage, would it? Thankfully, updating entities in Azure tables is pretty simple once you get the hang of the various merge/conflict options available.

Programming Windows Azure : Table Operations - Understanding Pagination

Now that you understand partition and row keys, there is one final query variant to consider. In several scenarios, Azure tables will return a subset of the entities that matched the query
