Would you like to learn to program in C++ with excellent coding skills?
WE have some background information about C++, which we hope will be valuable to you.
C++ is widely used in video games, which are played on cell phones, tablets and desktop computers. The following paragraphs will provide you with some additional information about c++.
C++ appeared in 1983 and was designed by Bjorn Stroustrup. C++ was influenced by C. C++ (pronounced see plus plus) is a general purpose programming language that was created to operate in free-form and compiled. It is regarded as an intermediate-level language, as C++ comprises both high-level and low-level language features. The original form of C++ appeared in 1979 at Bell Labs, C++ was originally named C with Classes, adding object-oriented features, such as classes, and other enhancements to the C programming language. The language was renamed C++ in 1983 as a pun involving the increment operator.
C++ is one of the most popular programming languages in use today because of its versatility. Highly skilled computer programmers began their careers by learning C++. Universities and colleges who incorporate C++ in their curriculum teach C++ as a foundational programming language. C++ will offer you a focused prospective in computer programming, which you can’t acquire with other languages.
Students who mastered C++ report that other programming languages are easier to learn as a result of acquiring C++ coding skills.
ABCO Technology offers computer classes for C++ in small classes with hands-on instruction.

ASP.net, learn to program in a search engine friendly language
ABCO Technology is pleased to provide some background information about ASP so you can decide if this scripting language is for you.
Active Server Pages or ASP was Microsoft's first server-side script engine for dynamically generated web pages. ASP.net coding is both clean and precise, which allows created pages to be easily navigated by Search Engine Spiders. ASP version 3.0 is in use today. Active Server Pages was first released as an add-on to Internet Information Services (IIS) via the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack (ca. 1996). ASP was subsequently included as a free component of Windows Server (since the initial release of Windows 2000 ). ASP.NET was first released in January 2002, and this version has superseded the original ASP.
ASP 2.0 gave users six built-in objects: Application, ASP Error, Request, Response, Server, and Session. A session, for example, represents a session that maintains the state of variables globally from page to page. The Active Scripting engine's support of the Component Object Model (COM) enables ASP websites to access functionality in compiled libraries such as DLLs.
ASP 3.0 does not differ significantly from ASP 2.0 but it does offer some additional enhancements such as: Server. Transfer method, . Execute method, and an enhanced ASP Error object. ASP 3.0 also enables buffering by default and optimized its search engine for overall better performance.
The use of ASP pages with Internet Information Services (IIS) is currently supported on all versions of IIS. The use of ASP pages will be supported on Windows 8 for a minimum of 10 years from Windows 8’s release date.
Shopping carts, which are programmed with ASP.net, are very search engine friendly. Google and Bing, the two major search engines that control 85% of web traffic find this programming language easy to navigate.
ABCO Technology located at 6733 South Sepulveda in STE #106 offers small classes with personalized instruction for ASP and the entire .Net family of programs.

10 strategies for promoting your content
Content is king, but in 2014 content marketing has received the attention it deserves from professional marketing organizations with budgets allocated to creating traffic building content. In the past two years, we have witnessed several new software platforms in the market, which are designed to help companies create dynamic content.
Many students have told me that it’s very easy to go out and spend money on creating content or marketing campaigns with a goal of driving traffic to a website. Alternatively, I’ve observed that many companies have access to lots of content, which is generated in-house, but for a number of reasons they are not publishing or using their internal resources efficiently to create new content that will help them with their web traffic marketing efforts.
Content creation is a significant undertaking. We will focus on 10 strategies to create good content for your site or company.
1. Keyword Volume
This is a popular method of creating content where you can use your favorite keyword tool and type in the key phrase you want to target. For our example, we will use the free key word discovery free keyword tool and use “Google Panda” as our sample keyword:
Most content creators are tempted to optimize for the first keyword since that phrase has the most query volume. This is not a recommended strategy as competition will be high on this keyword and it may take time for your site to rank well. Instead, start with keywords that have low traffic volume and are more long-tail like in this example we see “What is Google Panda” and “Google Panda Updates” as two excellent keyword choices.
When using a key word tool select narrow matches so you get the phrase you want to target.
2. Search As You Type Tools
This can be quick hit way to conduct keyword research on the fly.
Google Auto complete can be a gold mine for looking up keywords – and when combined with detailed keyword research, it can really help shore up your content creation process.
Soovle is another engine that can be really helpful for doing keyword research on the fly. Simply type in the keyword and it will show suggested keywords from across many engines. This can be really helpful as your starting step in creating keyword based content from scratch.
3. Social Media Listening Platforms
Mining social media conversations can be a great source to find new ideas for creating content. Each day you will find users conversing on Twitter, sharing links on Facebook, complaining on blogs and forums, and so on. These conversations can be a perfect starting point for creating your content. After all, this is what people are talking about so you can be sure they'll be querying it on search engines too.
If you don’t have access to social media monitoring platforms then Socialmention.com can be a great place to get started. Simply enter any keyword and it will show you the conversations across the web, along with sentiment analysis, and related keywords.
4. Internal Site Search & Web Analytics
Mining your web analytics referral keyword report to see what keywords people are using to visit your site, and then what keywords visitors are using once on your site (through your site search) can be a gold mine. These keywords would end up as the most targeted keywords and can help a great deal in improving your site bounce rates as well.
Mining your internal site search keyword reports can also help close content gaps on your site. Bringing visitors into your site through SEO and then those visitors not finding what they are looking for can be a huge loss for any business. Look at internal site search keyword reports and create content to convert those site visitors. Every SEO should have access to these reports at least weekly.
5. Live Blogging at Events
Live blogging at an event can be an excellent way to generate new content. SES conferences are a great place for this and we regularly see live bloggers from companies including to prank Marketing, aim Clear, Bruce Clay and many others across the country. Find out where relevant live events are for your industry and start live blogging at some sessions try a few to get started.
6. Expert Interviews
Every industry has its own thought leaders and experts. Interviewing those experts can be another great way to generate content. There are many ways to do this, for example more companies are using Google+ Hangouts and Skype to conduct expert interviews. When conducting an interview be sure to write up a text version of your discussion. It will optimize well with search engines.
7. Twitter
On Twitter, there are so many conversations happening daily in any industry. Focus on your industry and create content out of those tweets on the fly. For example, recently a big brand was called out for buying links in this post by Josh Davis which then had a follow-up by Danny Sullivan. In between, quite a few tweets were exchanged by Matt Cutts and others. Pulling these recent tweets and creating your own analysis on this topic could be a great way to generate content.
I have also seen content being created and then using tweets to further back your content or assertion on a given topic. You can find documentation on Twitter Developer site on how to embed a tweet on your site.
8. Customer Testimonials
Testimonials, if done creatively, can be used to generate good content on your site. Testimonials can be used, for example, to support a specific topic like showing exemplary customer service your company provides.
In many organizations, customers write glowing testimonials for companies but they hardly get published, except in internal newsletters. Find a way to publish these testimonials on your site or on your blog.
A few years back Discover Financial Services found a creative way to publish their card member stories testimonials on a blog and was named Cashback Connection which is a collection of card member testimonials. So instead of letting your customer stories be stored in some email folder, why not go ahead and publish them!
9. Customer Questions
Your customers have questions. There are many ways to convert customer questions into meaningful content for your site. You can take customer questions and make it into a video series or create a question and answers site like Yahoo Answers.
This content can be of high value and can also aid in new product development or enhancing your products. All in all customer questions can be highly targeted content and can be a great source of SEO referral traffic.
10. Industry Trends
No matter what industry you’re in, chances are there must be some hot new topics and new trends. Looking for new trends in your industry and creating content on them can be a great way to capitalize on existing search demand.
Going with this approach fulfills an existing demand based on industry hot trends. The content you create based on these trends can be temporal in nature, but again can be a good source of traffic if created at the right time. Some of the most popular places to look at current trends are: Google Trends, technorati, Twitter trends, and icerocket.
Summary
Creating content can be resource intensive but more than that it also involves lots of creative thinking to come up with new content day in and day out. The above ideas are just a small sampling of how to come up with great content. Have any other ideas worked well for you? Please leave a comment below.

Information Technology, writing a job friendly resume
When applying for that information technology career or
position, many candidates know they have the qualifications to perform the
specific tasks a company may need. . Communicating your skills and qualifications
to a human resource person who must read at least 20 resumes in a given day is
another skill that needs to be acquired before your preparation can meet that
opportunity. This article will give you some important strategies
you can use to improve your chances of getting that interview, which will lead
to a job or career, which you have always wanted.
We have to look at your resume from the point of view of the
person who must spend countless hours in a day reading resumes. The key
question is how to make your document stand out from the pack. If you
beat the competition, you get the job. Ask yourself if I were reading at
least 20 resumes per day what kind of information would I like to see from a
candidate I would want to call in for an interview?
Now let’s make your resume a document everyone will want to
read.
1 Many candidates write objective. Something like, “To
obtain a recognized position in which I can demonstrate my skills and abilities
in the Industry, as well as to increase the productivity of the Company for
which I will work”. This statement sounds very boiler plate and doesn’t
communicate to your reader what you want.
A.
Under your contact information we need a
goal. Your reader needs to know what you want and your want should be
your goal, which should be specific to the job you want. The Goal should match
the job title listed on the company’s advertisement. For example if
you are applying for a computer repair job, then your goal is to be a computer
repair technician. Your reader will start to get interested because your
goal matches what the company needs. Most people believe that winners have
goals and losers have objectives.
2 Under the Goal section create a skills heading, which
matches your goal. If your goal is to be a database administrator, listing your
SQL/database skills is important. If you are applying for a position as a
computer programmer, list the programming languages you know. When your
skills match your goal, your resume will move to a preferred
list. Now your reader is beginning to become engaged in your
document. In less than ¼ of a page the subconscious message of a perfect
match begins to appear in the mind of your reader. Isn’t that what you
want?
3 below the skills heading state your work experience,
beginning with your most recent job and count backwards. Don’t be afraid to
slightly alter your past job titles a bit to reflect the new opportunity you
want.
4 Your next heading should be education and we need the most
recent school you attended. Employers will award points for attending
school recently. Everyone must upgrade their training to keep up with the
demands of today’s work force.
5 A sentence at the bottom of your document stating
(references are available upon request. This builds a lot of credibility in the
mind of your reader. Some counselors don’t believe in the reference
statement. They believe if an employer wants references, they will ask
for them. This belief is not correct. Candidates should be proud of
their references and this pride will send a positive message to a future
employer.
6 A cover letter is very important. It should be
approximately ½ of a page and contain sentences about the company. The
letter should be written in a manner, which will show the employer how your
skills will contribute to the company’s mission.
Now your resume and cover letter will generate some
excitement and hopefully a lot of phone calls requesting an interview.
Good luck.
