In my day job I speak to both technical and business people about the subjects which matter to them the most, in depths of detail which please them the most. This allows me to ensure the technical people work in a way that meets the client’s business goals. Sadly, I sometimes meet technical people who due to time constraints or lack of opportunity rarely get to do anything but focus on the bits, bytes, parameters and switches which they need to manage in order to make the “machine do...(read more)

No matter how much you love a programming language, there are always a few details in it that aren’t quite as nice as they could be.
In this question, I would like to specifically focus on syntax elements. In a programming language that you use frequently (perhaps your favourite programming language, or perhaps the one you are forced to use at work), which syntax element do you find most unreadable, unclear, inconvenient or unpleasant?
As digital marketers begin to realise that diversification is the key to success in search engine optimisation. And the focus of search marketing will shift.
Recent studies may have you thinking that it’s time to give up the blog and focus on Twitter or Facebook. But don’t be rash. Search engine optimization is a major benefit of keeping a business blog.
Traffic is the lifeblood of any website, and SEO tips are available all over the internet. Unfortunately, much of what you hear will lead you to do things that - by themselves - won't make a lot of difference in the amount of targeted traffic your website receives. If you focus your efforts on doing the wrong things, you will waste a lot of time and experience frustration.
Getting a top rank in the search engines is actually pretty easy if you know a 'secret' technique of what to do. The reason why SEO experts are so successful at getting sites ranked to the top of Google & other search engines is because they are able to focus on what the search engines want from a good site, which means that if can do that too, you'll get a top rank.
You have been in denial for so long about the popularity and effectiveness of the online medium until you have seen a potential drop on your sales and knew that your clients have chosen to avail products from the companies that sell the items online. Now that you already have set up the online version of your offline business, the next thing that you need to focus into is web search engine optimization. Do not quit yet because this is not as hard or as complex as it sounds.

There are a lot of code in open source projects, looking at all of the code is time consuming and can be confusing to a novice like me. Are there any sections of open-source projects that should be focused on?
What should I focus on when I look at code?
I'm asking this in general because if I ask this specifically, the question will only apply in one or two projects rather than an entire group of projects ranging in different types of games and difficulty.
<b>Groklaw:</b> "GPL enforcement is successful in Europe. In several court decisions and out of court settlements the license conditions of the GPL have been successfully enforced.

Three SQL Server MVPs (Jonathan Kehayias, Ted Krueger and Gail Shaw) provide fascinating insight into the most common SQL Server problems, why they occur, and how they can be diagnosed using tools such as Performance Monitor, Dynamic Management Views and server-side tracing. The focus is on practical solutions for removing root causes of these problems, rather than "papering over the cracks".
One of the key enhancements in the current generation of Oracle Exalogic systems—and the focus of this whitepaper—is Oracle’s incorporation of virtualized InfiniBand I/O interconnects using Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) technology to permit the system to share the internal InfiniBand network and storage fabric between as many as 63 virtual machines per physical server node with near-native performance simultaneously allowing both high performance and high workload consolidation.

I'm an undergraduate Software Engineer student, although I've decided that pure programming is what I want to do for the rest of my life. The thing is that programming is a vast field and although most of its aspects are extremely interesting, soon or later I'll have to choose one (?) to focus on. I have several ideas on small projects I'd like to develop this summer, having in mind that this will gain me some experience and, in the best scenario, some cash. But the most important reason I'd like to develop something close to “professional” is to give myself direction on what I want to do as a programmer.
One path is that of the Web Programmer. I enjoy PHP and MySQL, as well as HTML and CSS, although I don't really like ASP.NET. I can see myself writing web apps, using the above technologies, as well as XML and Javascript. I also have a neat idea on a Facebook app.
The other path is that of the Desktop Programmer. This is a little more complicated cause I really-really enjoy high level languages such as Java and Python but not the low level ones, such as C. I use both Linux and Windows for the last 6 years and I like their latest DEs (meaning Gnome Shell and Metro). I can see myself writing desktop applications for both OSs as long as it means high level programming. Ideally I'd like being able to help the development of GNOME.
The last path that interests me is the path of the Smartphone Programmer. I have created some sample applications on Android and due to Java I found it a quite interesting experience. I can also see myself as an independent smartphone developer.
These 3 paths seem equally interesting at the moment due to the shallowness of my experience, I guess. I know that I should spend time with all of them and then choose the right one for me but I'd like to know what are the pros and cons in terms of learning curve, fun, job finding and of course financial rewards with each of these paths.
I have fair or basic understanding of the languages/technologies I described earlier and this question will help me choose where to focus, at least for now.
Going virtual isn't going to make your life easier overnight; but even if it does introduce its own challenges, the benefits outweigh the outweigh the learning curve and shift in admin focus.
If you are coming to San Francisco, and you are interested in all the aspects to big data, this Focus On Big Data is a must have document.
