WordPress out of the box is already technically quite a good platform for SEO, this was true when I wrote my original WordPress SEO article in 2008 and it's still true today, but that doesn't mean you can't improve it further! This plugin is written from the ground up by WordPress SEO consultant and WordPress developer Joost de Valk to improve your site's SEO on all needed aspects. While this WordPress SEO plugin goes the extra mile to take care of all the technical optimization, more on that below, it first and foremost helps you write better content. WordPress SEO forces you to choose a focus keyword when you're writing your articles, and then makes sure you use that focus keyword everywhere.

We love Heroku. It makes deployment so easy and quick. However, it can start to get pricey when you add additional dynos at $35 each a month. With a small amount of work, you can get a lot more out of your Heroku hosting whilst drastically improving the performance of your site. You might need to spend a little bit of cash on other services, but a lot less than if you simply moved the dyno slider up a few notches, and the result will be much better scalability. So how do we max out the performance of our Heroku apps?

My Ultimate Developer and Power Users Tool List for Mac OS X (2012 Edition) — carpeaqua by Justin Williams
This is the fourth installment of my must have must have list of tools and utilities as a Mac and iOS developer ( 2009 , 2010 , 2011 ). A lot can change in twelve months when you work in the technology space. The biggest change for Apple developers each year are the platform updates. This year saw the transition from iOS 5 to 6 as well as Lion turning into a more powerful Mountain Lion. The idea for this list was shamelessly ripped off from Windows developer Scott Hanselman whose list is an enjoyable read every year. Many of the products you will recognize from previous years’ lists.
Using `pg:transfer` to Migrate Postgres Databases Development of most applications takes place in several disparate environments with the most common pattern being dev-staging-production. While it's necessary for the source versions in each environment to differ it is quite useful to retain some level of data synchronicity between the environments (for example, to populate your local database with production data to diagnose a bug).

Been doing some research lately on cross-platform communication to enable systems built with different languages on different platforms to communicate. The first consideration in cross-platform communication is message format. The most common formats are XML and JSON. They are both easy to create and parse and widely supported via many frameworks for serialization in most major development platforms. As good as XML and JSON are, they are still quite heavy since they are essentially transmitted as strings across the wire. The can be a waste of memory and bandwidth for both the client and server, especially for internal communications.Introduction ERB provides an easy to use but powerful templating system for Ruby.
