The URL Shortener-SEO Cage Match

Making the case for a Hungarian Notation variation for URL hierarchies One of the top discussions out in the ether these days revolves around URL shortening. One of the reasons folks flock to URL shortening services like bit.ly and TinyURL is because web sites and applications use exceedingly long URLs. Many times this is because of exposed file system hierarchies (a potential security risk, by the way) and a desire to take advantage of descriptive file names for SEO and informational reas

For creative graphic designers, fonts on the web have always been (and probably always will) be a bone of contention. Essentially typography on the web has been limited to a small subset of fonts that exist on the three major platforms (Win / Mac / Linux) - and thus creative use of these has come from changing css properties such as letter spacing, or font-weight.

Silverlight applications that run outside the browser are commonly referred to as out-of-browser applications, or OOBs for short.

"Now the alternative to despair is courage. And human life can be viewed as a continuous struggle between these two options. Courage is the capacity to affirm one's life in spite of the elements which threaten it. The fact that courage usually predominates over despair in itself tells us something important about life. It tells you that the forces that affirm life are stronger than those that negate it." Paul E. Pfuetze "My name is Patrick. Sometime during the fall of 2004, I noticed an invol

Experimenting in Public

One of the things I love most about the brave new digital world is the capacity to embrace experiment and failure.

The same problem exists while developing custom controls. All default style keys must be

SWF Not Working inside of Web Page

Okay, I am confused and quite aggravated! I have created a header that has static and dynamic content in Flash 8. It is pretty simple - it is just a regular header with a section on the right that has a slide show fader of different pictures. When I publish and test the SWF by itself - works perfectly fine. If I publish and preview the HTML created by flash as an example, it works perfectly fine. However, when I embed it into my web site, it only displays the static portions of the SWF,

New video tutorial on runtime font loading

I just uploaded a new tutorial showing the best practice method of creating and using external font SWF files using Flash CS4. You can now easily create font files with a subset of characters using the new Flex metadata support. This was not possible prior to Flash CS4 and the new workflow speeds things up considerably. This area is kind of a black art but once you figure it out it can be very powerful. Lee

One example that comes to mind is Enterprise Library, where you add a minimum of 3 (IIRC) assembly references to us

Mapping Objects with AutoMapper

At the end of last year I finished a project that required a fair amount of object-to-object mapping. Unfortunately, Jimmy Bogard didnt release AutoMapper until this year, so I had to write a pile of object-to-object mapping goo on my own. AutoMapper is a convention based mapper. Lets say you have an object implementing an interface like thispublic interface IPatientDetailView { string Name { get; set; } IEnumerable Procedures { get; set; } // ... } but all...

Making extension methods amenable to mocking

The question of how to mock extension methods comes up frequently enough that I though I might give my opinion and solution to it (which does NOT include using TypeMock ;)). A first differentiator is whether you control the definition of the extension methods or not. The latter case would be, for example, the built-in Linq extension methods (First, Count, etc. on IEnumerable) and there's no way to mock them unless you use TypeMock. The former would be your own logic that you decide to p

Oxite: what

As probably you read somewhere else, a few days ago the Channel9 team released the latest version of Oxite.

I think Ill start to play with it. All the team members have a blog (which runs on Oxite, of course) and they posted some blog posts to explain the new changes.

Soft-deletes are bad, m'kay?

Have you ever ran into database tables with a field which is used to mark if a row has been 'deleted' ? Probably. These fields are used to implement 'soft-deletes'. For the soft-delete impaired, a quick introduction. Soft-deletes are row deletes which are not really happening: instead of removing the row from the database table, a field in the row is set to a value which signals that the row is officially 'deleted'. Every SELECT statement on that table is then filtering on that field's value so

Thursday night's Ramapo-Pascack Hills game proved to be the perfect appetizer for Sunday's Bergen County quarterfinals at Becton. Every matchup has something worth watching, and, while there will be a preview chart in Saturday's Record, here's a closer look at the games: No. 7 Pascack Valley vs. No. 2 Teaneck: I've been hearing gripes from Teaneck fans who believe I don't appreciate what these Highwaywomen have to offer, but that's not true. I've been excited about some talented Teaneck teams

Blogs are the Most Important Innovation of the 21st Century

A case could be made that blogs and blog hosting websites like WordPress and Blogger are, so far,the most important innovation of this century, technological or otherwise. Prior to the advent of blogs, publishing online was a task reserved for the computer savvy. Sure, sites like Geocities and Tripod lowered the barrier, but still required a good deal of work and at leasta passing familiarity with HTML. It wasn't until blogs that the average person - my mom, my grandfather, etc. - could, with a

Worldwide Terrorism Incidents: a great dataset for open government data geeks

Last June, Ed Felten and his team at Princeton published Government Data and the Invisible Hand. They argued that government agencies should stop trying to present information to the public, because they aren't good at it. Instead, they should just publish the data and let others present it. A few weeks later, the National Counterterrorism Center published a huge data set on its Web site. The Worldwide Incidents Tracking System has a few thousand records of violent acts going back to 2004. T

ActionScript XML Binding

Working with XML in ActionScript has been made pretty simple by E4X. But many developers prefer to work with ActionScript objects rather than straight XML. Unfortunately, converting to and from XML is an often laborious, and certainly tedious, task. Java developers may be familiar with Java Architecture for XML Binding (JAXB) and will quickly note that it was the inspiration for ActionScript XML Biinding (ASXB). ASXB is a concrete implementation of XML binding that used custom metadata as the me
