You can go to school for PHP. You can read an e-book. You can get tutoring, you can read tutorials and you can just mess around. So which method do I invest my time in? I want to learn PHP but I'm worried that I'll be using the wrong method and waste my time and effort. So it'd be great if I...

I've heard there can be a lot of benefits to unlocking your smartphone, but which platform is the easiest to unlock? I know there are risks involved, so I'd rather not try to attempt a difficult unlock. But maybe if one platform was particularly approachable - I don't know. What are your...

Ten years ago nobody knew how important smartphones would be. Now they're a dominating market. Ultimately they consist of miniaturized computing and wireless transmission technologies applied to the concept of a digital cell phone. So what's next? Conceptually, now that we're addressing the need...

I've been looking at a few sites that list various CMS choices but I can't find a place that discusses, from an opinions perspective, the advantages and disadvantages of one CMS over another. A resource like that would be really useful to me. Can anyone provide me with a link to one? I don't...

I've heard great things about Facebook PPC ads as a great option for targeting traffic because of their massive, engaged userbase and their high quality targeting tools. But I'd like more opinions. Are there pitfalls? What do I need to watch out for? Is there a context when I'd want to source...

I'm trying to figure out how to get some bang for a few bucks, beyond what I can do for myself in terms of SEO. That's not to say that I don't know techniques, but my time is limited, and I have a small budget for trying to improve my rank. There are like a million services for paid SEO. What's...

This seems like it'd be a good place for us to gather info about Kontera so community members can better decide whether they want to partner with them or not :) I've been a Kontera user for a little while now, and while they don't deliver anything anyone else in their category doesn't deliver...

I generally build sites using CMS and then if I need customization pay a professional to do it for me ;) but I'm interested in starting out on my own. I know I can edit HTML in many simple applications but I'm wondering what the options are for good, legit HTML editors? Let me know, I'd...

Apple's insistence on building gorgeous, low-profile devices means that there's very little room for air to flow in the case, parts are often placed unceremoniously for heat distribution, and fans are far from the things they need to cool. For people who work in digital media and design, this...

It's hard to grow a FB page from scratch. People don't want to engage with that kind of service until they believe it's already established, legitimate and popular. An initial investment in legitimate likes, reposts to popular blogs, or other ways to drive engagement early on can give you a base...

Now that page rank is so hard to get through semi-legitimate means, you really need to be able to focus on building quality sites with quality content and furiously monetizing those legitimate havens of traffic. Adsense made a lot more sense during the days of massively distributed site building...

Monetizing PPC traffic using CPA seems like an obvious choice but clearly it takes capital enough to do the research and then make your money back and more. What are people finding is a reasonable amount of capital to have on hand before undertaking a PPC to CPA campaign? I've never tried it so...

Is it just me or are better apps developed more consistently for Android? iOs seems to get the bottom of the barrel. And I've been much more impressed, tbh, with the interfaces people have been developing for android phones too =\ Anyone else noticing that Android phones have a lot of...

WP is such a popular publishing platform that there are too many tutorials on the web for me to sort through. Is there a repository or index of high quality, intro-level Wordpress tuts? I don't want to wade through all of these youtube videos, ugh. But WP has enough features that one good...

Traffic directed from social media networks typically has a relatively high rate of engagement, not half due to the excellent tools for targeting and analytics that are typically built in to the ad frameworks of social media platforms. As long as you don't break the TOS, fan pages are a more...
