submitted by deanomachino(764) 1 year, 7 months ago

If you are a fellow blogger or Webmaster then read on, because this might interest you somewhat. When I first started out blogging, I added Google Analytics to my site to track visitors and stats. It's a great free tool and generally a really accurate service, and I'm certain that millions of people use this service. However, one of the things that I found was that my bounce rate was unusually high. It was and still is sitting at around 80%. read more...

6,953 reasons why I still let Google host jQuery for me(encosia.com)

submitted by pyccki(357) 1 year, 8 months ago

It’s been nearly two years since I wrote about using Google’s CDN to host jQuery on your public-facing sites. In that post, I recommended it due to three primary benefits that public CDNs offer: decreased latency, increased parallelism, and improved caching. Though the post has been overwhelmingly well-received, concerns have been raised as to whether or not the likelihood of better caching is truly very significant. Since the efficacy of that benefit depends entirely on how many other sites are using the same CDN, it takes quite a bit of research to make an objective case either way. I’ve never been happy about responding with vague answers. Caching probability is a valid concern and deserves to be taken seriously. So, I decided to cobble together an HTTP crawler, analyze 200,000 of the most popular sites on the Internet, and determine how many of those are referencing jQuery on Google’s public CDN. read more...

DMO to SMO(www.kodefuguru.com)

submitted by KodefuGuru(2818) 1 year, 11 months ago

I recently upgraded from Team Foundation Server 2008 to Team Foundation Server 2010. This broke many msbuild tasks, including one that generates database scripts. One of the prerequisites of the TFS upgrade was upgrading the SQL Server from 2005 to 2008. I found that the msbuild task was using DMO to generate the scripts and had been marked as deprecated, so I went about replacing the old COM library with SQL Management Objects, or SMO. read more...
