Google Analytics

When Google launched Google Analytics in 2005, it revolutionized web analytics. Heck, it flat out turned the entire industry on its collective head. No longer was web analytics an expensive endeavor that required a substantial investment in software. Measurement tools became irrelevant from a cost perspective, and the focus started to shift to people. In May 2007, Google gave the analytics indu…

The first is to demystify geographic information systems (GIS) and teach you a bit of the lingo. The second goal is to help you download some free data and learn a programmatic API or two. These lead to the final goal of turning you into a GIS developer.

Getting Started with Windows 8

It’s the Windows for every- thing: Windows 8 is the first version of Windows designed to run on desktop PCs, laptops, and touch-based PC tablets. To do that, it brings a whole new way of working with Windows called the Start screen environment (some- times known by its code name, Metro). The Start screen is a sleek, tile-based user interface designed especially for touch- screen users and is …

In the past decade, networked control systems (NCSs) have attracted much attention owing to their successful applications in a wide range of areas for the advantage of decreasing the hard- wiring, the installation cost, and implementation difficulties.

Expert VB 2008 Business Objects

I have a passion for frameworks. In more than 20 years as a professional developer, I’ve never worked on a computing platform that did everything I needed it to do to build applications productively. The Microsoft .NET platform is wonderful, but it doesn’t always do quite what I want or need. To address those needs, I’m always looking for tools and frameworks, and sometimes I end up creat…

Everyday Scripting with Ruby

People on the outside of software development projects see them spew out a multitude of tools that shift work from people to computers. But the view inside a project is—all too often—different. There, we see days filled with repetitive manual chores. At one desk, a tester is entering test data into a database by hand. At another, a programmer is sifting through the output from a version co…

Ethics of Big Data

Philosophy and business don’t always get along well. Philosophy is generally not much concerned with the practical implications of its investigations and, conversely, business is often deeply interested in the tactical outcomes of its operations. And ethics is a loaded word. Preconceived notions of what ethics mean, even as a le­ gitimate field of study, often make people shy away from it as…
