On the Dallas PHP Users Group site today, there's a new, quick book review from baron covering Wiley Publishing's "Beginning Web Programming with HTML, XHTML and CSS".    This is a hands on book useful as an HTML refresher and introduction to XHTML, CSS1, CSS2, JavaScript and general web related topics including; site design, page layout, hosting, and search engines.  This book contains many valuable links to external tools and sources of information such as syntax validators, browser archives, royalty-free image sites, sites with detailed CSS information and demonstrations, and much more.  The books contains a comprehensive reference section which provides a fast lookup of XHTML elements, CSS properties, special characters, mime types, etc.    His review isn't all too positive, unfortunately - there were code errors in the examples, and some subjects were just touched on too lightly. He notes that it's a good refresher/learing tool, but for anything more advanced than that, look elsewhere...

Lukas Smith has posted his review of a book from Packt Publishing - "PHP Web 2.0 Mashup Projects: Practical PHP Mashups with Google Maps, Flickr, Amazon, YouTube, MSN Search, Yahoo!"   Duane from Pakt asked me if I would be interested in reviewing a few books for them in my blog. I picked "Mashup Projects" from the list of just released books, since I am interesting in the topic and I am actually going to give a presentation at the internal "PHP Day" we are doing at Optaros in November.   He points out the good (good writing style, well-chosen examples) and the bad (a log list of errors and oversights in the code). He also talks about the contents of the book - the different examples and the final more major project. Overall though, he sees it as a good book, one that would be a good introduction to mashups for PHP developers (if you look past the formatting issues).

One of the major issues plaguing search engines right now is the growing list of web documents available online. While no exact numbers are available, there are billions of search results to sort through. But, they can&#8217;t all be relevant both on material content and time &#8212; can they?  Of course they&#8217;re not, and Google [...]

Until recently, it was difficult to find news archives on the web more than 30 days old. That's changed in a big way with the advent of Google's News Archive search.

Mikhail Tuknov, founder of Infatex.com,  sent in this article on CSS and its importance in search engine optimization. I found it to be a basic and &#8216;to the point&#8217; read on how CSS can cut down on load time, cross browser compatibility and code cleanliness. As the holiday season approaches, Search Engine Journal will be [...]

Sam  posts an interesting proposal.  This is better than the HTTP delta suggestion but still has a few issues.  The client needs to know the ETags before it can start performing differential fetches.  With date ranges you still preserve the initial archive query.  For example when you first subscribe to a feed you could fetch 30 days worth of posts.  If you like the feed you can even fetch *older* posts which could be really cool.  Also even if you still use faster checksum algorithm like CRC32 or Adler32 you still have an O(N) performance hit for your document.  If you have a btree on your post dates you will gave O(log(N)) for search for a much smaller string (64bit in most situations).  F ...
