Just a quick reminder that we are meeting TONIGHT on our usual night, at the usual time, in the usual place: 6:30 p.m. TEKsystems 2 Hickory Centre 1750 Valley View Lane Suite 400 Dallas, TX 75234
Map and directions here: http://dfwcfug.org/index.cfm?event=showMeetingLocation Tonight we have Daniel Elmore discussing search engine optimization, and Tom Schreck demonstrating the recently released version 2 of his very cool cfcPowerTools application. Be there! DANIEL ELMORE: SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION When most people think of SEO they think of sneaky little marketing firms advocating black hat tactics or they think of the boring white hat keyword stuffing, meta tag filling and <H1> tag usage. I'll show what SEO has shaped into over the years and how it results in positive benefits to your site visitors. I have several anecdotes that will help paint a picture of the SEO "process". Specifically I'll explain the differences between Google and Yahoo's ranking algorithms, no math will be seen :), and then show how to use CF to build a spider friendly site. Spider friendly = User friendly I'll definitely be up for some search engine Q&A. There are some old myths still floating around about CF sites being unspiderable. Goes way back to the search engine friendly URL custom tag written for fusebox sites. TOM SCHRECK: CFCPOWERTOOLS 2 Tom will demonstrate how cfcPowerTools can make you more productive. He will generate the database backend and initial CFCs for a small app that tracks students, advisors, instructors, and courses that can be used in a school setting. Tom Schreck has been working with ColdFusion since version 2 and has given presentations on topics ranging from Fusebox to XML to CFCs. Tom has created a web based application for interacting with ColdFusion components called cfcPowerTools. -- Matt Woodward [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.mattwoodward.com ---------------------------------------------------------- To post, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://www.dfwcfug.org/form_MemberUnsubscribe.cfm To subscribe: http://www.dfwcfug.org/form_MemberRegistration.cfm
