Web crawlers have been around as long as the Web has -- and before the web, there were crawlers for gopher and ftp. You would think that 25 years of experience would render crawling a solved problem, but the vast growth of the web and new inventions in the technology of webspam and other unsavory content results in a constant supply of new challenges. What's So Hard About Crawling The Web?

I am always amazed about the lack of support for progressive enhancement on the web. Whenever you mention it, you face a lot of “yeah, but…” and you feel having to defend something that should be ingrained in the DNA of anyone who works on the web. Our technical solutions should be like escalators – they still work when the technology fails.

If you’re a software developer (or frankly, if you spend a large portion of your day sitting in a chair in front of a computer) you will be more productive if you find a way to incorporate a workout into your daily routine. I literally believe that if you’re working 8 hour days today, you will get more done working 7 hours and squeezing in a 30-40 minutes of physical exercise. How do you keep fit after a day of coding?

Loved this article. in fact I am little proud of myself that I took a new year resolution this year and started work out from 1 Jan and have been doing it consistently now.(i used to work out in college days and now getting back on to it).
I think I also need to do something about my only remaining bad habbits i.e. tea and smoking. If I somehow control these two I will surely get more out of myself.

Making modular and reusable code is something we should all be doing to keep the quality of it up to par. A very simple way to make reusable modules of code in node.js is to create generalized modules (no pun intended). In this post, we’re going to recreate the domai.nr module from scratch, and hopefully you learn a few things along the way! Learn Node by doing Node.

What is it about middle school and mathematics? Decades of educational research demonstrate that during the years between elementary school and high school, many students disengage from math and don’t regain their interest—to the detriment of their later schooling, and even their adult careers. Instill a love of mathematics as the art that it is.

Why build a new messaging product when the basic functionality of email combined with a little effort from the user can achieve the same result? Nothing you can do but you can learn how to e-mail it in time - It's easy.

What the media have called Britain's "cookie law" became enforceable this weekend and will require UK-based website operators to give visitors notification if the website will use any method of tracking—not just cookies but other types of analytics as well—on the user's computer. Keep your hands out of the cookie jar.
