Summary: Perfect for Beginners

Rating: 5

I found this book to be the perfect tool for starting out trying to learn the Flash program. It's simple, easy to understand, and straight to the point. I needed some help in a hurry, and didn't have time to wade through a bunch of text. If you're visually inclined, then this book may appeal to you. I'm not ready to start writing my own scripts in Flash yet, but that's best suited for another book anyway (gotta crawl before you walk).

Summary: Learn Flash BASICS

Rating: 4

'Teach Yourself VISUALLY Flash CS3 Professional' is a good guide with full color throughout its ~350 pages spread over 15 chapters. If you are looking to do BASIC Flash development this is a great resource to have by your side. If you are looking to do advanced Flash development with ActionScript this book isn't for you. AS is barely discussed and is just glossed over. Good for the beginners, not for people looking to become experts. You have been warned.

Still not a bad book though!!

**** RECOMMENDED

Summary: Another deceptive title...

Rating: 2

Where to start? For openers, this line from the above product description is a lie:

"* Demonstrates what readers need to know about Flash to build animation sequences as well as more advanced features like using ActionScript to create an interactive Web experience"

Why? Allow me to spoil the ending for you by typing in the only reference to Actionscript in the book. Ready?

"Actions and Actionscript

Flash actions are built on a programming language called Actionscript. This scripting language allows you to write instructions that control a movie. If you know how to write scripting programming code, you can certainly write your own actions in Flash. However, you do not need to know a scripting language to create actions. Flash includes hundreds of prewritten scripts, or actions, you can assign."

I kid you not, that is the entire section on Actionscript, taken from the bottom left corner of page 238. To be fair to Amazon and the publisher (who puts out great books), the book itself does not boast Actionscript! It is a fabrication created by the person who put it here on Amazon-a place I trust less and less to describe books here accurately.

Sorry, but its the truth.

This book gets 2 stars because it is a good first glance at flash for someone who has never heard of, or seen, flash before.

Free C Language - free ebook download

Overview

The C programming language was originally developed by Dennis Ritchie of Bell Laboratories, and was designed to run on a PDP-11 with a UNIX operating system. Although it was originally intended to run under UNIX, there was a great interest in running it on the IBM PC and compatibles, and other systems. C is excellent for actually writing system level programs, and the entire Applix 1616/OS operating system is written in C (except for a few assembler routines).

It is an excellent language for this environment because of the simplicity of expression, the compactness of the code, and the wide range of applicability. It is not a good "beginning" language because it is somewhat cryptic in nature. It allows the programmer a wide range of operations from high level down to a very low level approaching the level of assembly language. There seems to be no limit to the flexibility available. One experienced C programmer made the statement, "You can program anything in C", and the statement is well supported by my own experience with the language. Along with the resulting freedom however, you take on a great deal of responsibility. It is very easy to write a program that destroys itself due to the silly little errors that, say, a Pascal compiler will flag and call a fatal error. In C, you are very much on your own, as you will soon find.

Since C is not a beginners language, I will assume you are not a beginning programmer, and I will not attempt to bore you by defining a constant and a variable. You will be expected to know these basic concepts. You will, however, not be expected to know anything of the C programming language. I will begin with the highest level of C programming, including the usually intimidating concepts of pointers, structures, and dynamic allocation. To fully understand these concepts, it will take a good bit of time and work on your part, because they not particularly easy to grasp, but they are very powerful tools. Enough said about that, you will see their power when we get there, just don't allow yourself to worry about them yet.

Programming in C is a tremendous asset in those areas where you may want to use Assembly Language, but would rather keep it a simple to write and easy to maintain program. It has been said that a program written in C will pay a premium of a 50 to 100% increase in runtime, because no language is as compact or fast as Assembly Language. However, the time saved in coding can be tremendous, making it the most desirable language for many programming chores. In addition, since most programs spend 90 percent of their operating time in only 10 percent or less of the code, it is possible to write a program in C, then rewrite a small portion of the code in Assembly Language and approach the execution speed of the same program if it were written entirely in Assembly Language.

Approximately 75 percent of all new commercial programs introduced for the IBM PC have been written in C, and the percentage is probably growing. Apple Macintosh system software was formerly written in Pascal, but is now almost always written in C. The entire Applix 1616 operating system is written in C, with some assembler routines.

Since C was designed essentially by one person, and not by a committee, it is a very usable language but not too closely defined. There was no official standard for the C language, but the American National Standards Association (ANSI) has developed a standard for the language, so it will follow rigid rules. It is interesting to note, however, that even though it did not have a standard, the differences between implementations are usually small. This is probably due to the fact that the original unofficial definition was so well thought out and carefully planned that extensions to the language are not needed.

You know what I absolutely hate about SEO work? Building Links When I first got into this SEO game I remember spending the majority of my time either soliciting other webmasters to trade links with me or finding sites that I could submit my link to. Then I would hope and pray that they would take the time out of their day to put up a link to my sites. After about 3 months of doing this for 40+ hours a week, I began to become very discouraged. Even though I was doing everything the Gurus told me to do for SEO I still could not get my site to rank in Google … and Yahoo and MSN were not very impressed with my efforts either! This is when I began learning about the “Dark Arts of SEO”. I got my start with a program called Traffic Equalizer. I still remember these glory days of Black Hat SEO. It was almost too easy and we collectively killed Traffic Equalizer’s effectiveness. But something I quickly learned was that the challenge is less about building sites as quickly as possible and more about building sites while also building links automatically that appear to be natural to the search engines.

Always Be Testing THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO GOOGLE WEBSITE OPTIMIZER Book

W. Edwards Deming said, “You create the system your visitor must navigate. People don’t cause defects, systems do.” Systems can be tested, measured, and optimized. You need to know whether the assumptions that went into creating your site meet the needs and expectations of your audience. More important, you need to know how to optimize your system so you can market more effectively. When we say “testing, measuring, and optimizing,” you may think we’re repeating ourselves (redundantly!). But these are three distinct activities. When you test, you compare elements on your site or in your campaigns to see which variation best persuades your visitors to complete the action you want them to take. That action might be making a purchase, generating a lead, signing up for a newsletter, or even clicking through to the next step in your selling process (or their buying process). Testing involves setting up an experiment in either an A/B (split) format or in any of the varieties of multivariate formats. Google Website Optimizer is a free testing platform that makes it a snap to perform these tests and review your results.
