If my web app is supposed to work in one page, something like asana.com, and I wanted to make the whole website free of templates, meaning I would serve data and make js/mobile app call them, or even let other developers create new interfaces for it.
So is it acceptable to have such a design for such a problem ? or you think I would eventually have use jsps/freemarker for a certain case.
I found something when I started asking the right questions, here is it wiki: Single Page Application

I have a webiste with a .com domain that is a year old.
The business is a shop based in Ireland and I have purchased a .ie domain.
I plan to move the website over to the new domain, SEO Good or Bad idea?
Old Url - SmythsOfTerenure.com |
New Url - SmythsComputerRepair.ie
(I am using Fake names and fictional business in the example Url's)
The new domain has my main keyword in it.
The old domain has my family name and business location (city district)
It currently ranks high for lots of relevant keywords in Google with low traffic and low competition.
Current website traffic is about 80 session per week.
80% of that traffic is Organic from Google.
I am changing domain in an attempt to help SEO long term by having a CC TLD (.ie rather than .com) and having my main Keyword in the domain.
I plan to do 301 re-directs from old to new and update GW Tools and G Analytics but am I making a mistake changing it at all as I know rankings may fall in the sort term.
Homepage PR=0 and very few inbound links.
Should I just leave it on the old domain?
Or after a few months should I be back up ranking as well as I am now?
I have been programming quite a lot now and still can't decide which of these packages hierachies was the best:
package1
Class1Controller
Class1Model
Class1View
package2
Class2Controller
Class2Model
Class2View
or
controller
Class1Controller
Class2Contoller
model
Class1Model
Class2Model
view
Class1View
Class2View
In other words, is it better to apply the MVC design pattern to classes or to packages? Is there any reason to choose one over the other?
My question is language-agnostic, but I'm mostly a Java programmer, if it does any difference.

I'm working on a website for Canada which will have French and English versions. For SEO purposes, I would like to avoid using any language tag in URLs because I believe it will have more impact (e.g. example.ca/products better than en.example.ca/products or example.ca/en/products).
I believe this is technically possible because the2 languages are sufficiently different that the URLs won't be conflicting with one another (e.g. if you want a "product" page, it will be /products in English, and /produits in French so you know which language the URL is about).
Since Google (and most likely others) doesn't rely on the URL (nor HTML tags) to determine the content language I don't see any problems with search engines.
To make this possible I've thought about using a cookie distinct from the session cookie (e.g. example.org_language) with long term expiry (e.g. N years) that will memorize the language chosen by the user. That way when people visit the website with a new browser session, they get served the proper language.
I have already given up on users being able to switch one page from English to French: when people will chose English or French from the menu they will be redirected to the corresponding version of the home page.
Do you foresee any problems with not using a language component in the URL (whether domain or path)? (as long as one makes sure URLS don't conflict).
