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.
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.
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?

I wish to know if there is a tool like this to replace windows explorer and similar in the work of managing files, specially those web-site structures that sometimes can get very big. I am asking it here because I sincerely do not know what terms to use in Google to find anything like it.
It is like a diagram, but showing the tree directory structure and the contents of every folder at the same time, not just the one that is in focus.
As the name suggests it provides a foundation for XML support in an application, however this is much more than just another XML parser. It applies a unique approach to handling XML that allows your application code to focus on the application rather than traversing DOM or subscribing to SAX events
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.

<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. In particular, embedded systems are the main focus of such compliance activities. The article describes the practice of enforcement activities and the legal prerequisites under the application of German law."
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.
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.
This Saturday is World Backup Day, and with this in mind, Red Gate's Brian Harris talks about SQL Backup 7 and why they want to make backup verification a focus for more DBAs.

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".
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.

I am working on improving my architect / senior engineer skills. In particular, I want to focus on "getting lost in the weeds" - spending a lot of time on a problem while a better solution could have been achieved and "not seeing the forest for the trees" - missing the big picture and only providing part of the functionality - issues. What is some recommended reading/source material that can help me along? Thanks!
I am looking for a reference list for non-IT driven algorithmic patterns (which still can be helped with IT implementations of IT).
An Example List would be:
name; short desc; reference
Travelling Salesman; find the shortest possible route on a multiple target path; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travelling_salesman_problem
Ressource Disposition (aka Regulation); Distribute a limited/exceeding input on a given number output receivers based on distribution rules; http://database-programmer.blogspot.de/2010/12/critical-analysis-of-algorithm-sproc.html
If there is no such list, but you instantly think of something specific, please 'put it on the desk'. Maybe I can compile something out of the input I get here (actually I am very frustrated as I did not find any such list via research by myself).
Details on Scoping:
I found it very hard to formulate what I want in a way everything is out that I do not need (which may be the issue why I did not find anything at google). There is a database centric definition for what I am looking for in the section 'Processes' of the second example link. That somehow fits, but the database focus sort of drifts away from the pattern thinking, which I have in mind. So here are my own thoughts around what's in and what's out:
I am NOT looking for a foundational algo ref list, which is implemented as basis for any programming language. Eg. the php reference describes substr and strlen. That implements algos, but is not what I am looking for.
the problem the algo does address would even exist, if there were no computers (or other IT components)
the main focus of the algo is NOT to help other algo's
chances are high, that there are implementions of the solution or any workaround without any IT support out there in the world
however the algo could be benefitialy implemented/fully supported by a software application
= means: the problem of the algo has to be addressed anyway, but running an algo implementation with software automates the process (that is why I posted it on stackoverflow and not somewhere else)
typically such algo implementations have more than one input field value and more than one output field value
- which implies it could not be implemented as simple function (which is fixed to produce not more than one output value)
in a normalized data model often times such algo implementation outputs span accross multiple rows (sometimes multiple tables), whereby the number of output rows depends on the input paraters and rows in the table(s) at start time
- which implies that any algo implementation/procedure must interact with a database (read and/or write)
I am mainly looking for patterns, not for specific implementations. Example: The Travelling Salesman assumes any coordinates, however it does not say: You need a table targets with fields x and y.
- however sometimes descriptions are focussed on examples with specific implementations very much - no worries, as long as the pattern gets clear
A good optimization company can be found on the Internet. These SEO companies are proud of their qualifications, awards, honors, and reliability. These are solid signs of their dedication to their expertise and focus on getting "the bottom line". They also showcase why they are above the rest of other SEO firms.
Want to give your website a more broad appeal and increase readership? Who doesn't?! Your site could benefit by introducing some non-English material. Today's article will focus on various tools that you'll need to produce multilingual HTML documents.
When it comes to search engine optimisation, what elements are the important ones? I've seen some people's research focus purely on targeting highly competitive keywords with minimal budget and wondering why they aren't achieving the P1 listings they have promised their clients. In my opinion, I would look a little wider than purely on the keyword.
A little over 30 days ago 45,000 Oracle OpenWorld conference attendees stormed San Francisco to battle the heat in search of Oracle solutions to address their business needs. With so much activity from Keynotes, General Sessions, and Conference Panels to Meet the Experts and the Exhibit Halls, perhaps there was some Oracle Financials sessions you missed! Keynotes and sessions are now available for download on the OpenWorld site. For a complete list of sessions and session IDs, view any of the Focus on Documents located on the OpenWorld site.
I'm trying to find out ,that is there any relation between different types of UML diagrams, for example, once you developed a use case, should it be an event for each of them in a sequence diagram, or is there any exact relation between the use case and class diagrams.
By the way my main focus is on the below diagrams:
Use case
class diagram
activity
sequence
event
if you think I need any extra diagram to be included so it can be used to connecting the above diagrams to each other, please mention it too.
Thanks In Advance
With the increasing influence and change of marketing focus to Internet, we have the usual unsavoury characters arriving on the scene. Where there is money, there is a scam. SMEs are particularly vulnerable to this as most do not have the resources, the time or the knowledge to distinguish a genuine SEO company from the fraudsters.
