3 Steps to Help You Choose a Topic for an E-Book
In my recent post on the importance of having your own product to sell I was asked in comments by Todd for advice on choosing the best topic to create an ebook on.
Here are a few quick thoughts on some starting points for choosing a topic for an e-book – mainly for people who already have a blog:
Todd – Good question. For me it was partly just about blogging for a number of years in my niche and starting to just get a hunch for what would work. I guess in that time I began to see patterns in what was working and what was not working in my niche. I also began to get to know my readers more and saw the challenges and problems that they faced.
Of course saying ‘go with your hunches’ isn’t probably the answer you were after – so below I’ve identified a few steps to work through in choosing a topic for an E-book.

Download Windows 8 Developer Preview
Download Windows 8 Developer Preview
The first public pre-Beta release of Windows 8 is designed to spark developer interest for the platform, as the “Developer Preview” label shows.
Microsoft stressed on several occasions that early adopters were still to exercise their patience until the core user experience of Windows 8 would be complete, while devs can already start enjoying all the new goodies packed in the Windows Developer Preview, including the Metro platform.
And speaking of Windows 8 Metro app development, the software giant is offering an impressive collection of hands-on labs.
A part of the official BUILD site is hosting the Windows 8 hands-on labs, resources offered free of charge by the Redmond company.
Devs can for example get insight on how to build Windows 8 Metro apps by using JavaScript. Of course, Microsoft does an excellent job of helping early adopters make the best of resources such as Expression Blend 5 and Visual Studio 11.
For those developers who prefer C# and Visual Basic to JS, a number of hands-on labs are also available, again, focused on the creation of Metro applications for the next major version of Windows.
But of course, the Redmond company is not forgetting about devs who prefer C++. They also get their fair share of hands-on labs.
At the same time, Microsoft is providing resources set up to simplify game development, as well as the use of technologies such as Direct3D and Direct2D. There’s even a hands-on lab dealing with the integration of the Windows Driver Kit with Visual Studio.
The Windows 8 Hands-On Labs will certainly come in handy to developers starting to put together Metro apps for the next iteration of Windows, and early adopters should not hesitate to put them to good use.
At the same time, the BUILD site and the Windows Dev Center offer a range of additional resources bound to simplify development for Windows 8.
Windows 8 Developer Preview Build 8102 Milestone 3 (M3) is available for download here.

Tips Using OpenDNS for Accelerating Browsing
Tips Use OpenDNS for Accelerating Browsing
Browsing speed is determined by many factors such as the distance between your computer and the server computer where the website is located, the size of the pages that must be downloaded to the browser, the quality control that you use, the quality of your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the speed of the process on your computer. So with the above factors will increase your browsing speed would be even better.
Here we want to discuss about the factors of quality control that you use. DNS or Domain Name System is a naming system on the internet for all connected components such as computers, Internet services and other network components. This system allows us to use the domain name to access a server on the internet. Surely it would be more difficult for us to remember series of numbers as the address of the website.
Example when you type the "detik.com" then your computer asks the DNS server on the IP address of the "detik.com". Computers need to know the IP address because the number is more easily understood by computer systems that use the data bits. After getting the IP address of the DNS Server computer then you will understand with certainty the destination computer addresses so they can access it. So the user's DNS system to bridge the Internet with a computer network that uses language that is different from human language.
If you already know the IP address of the website you want to open, then you can type the IP directly in the location / URL of your browser. Here we do not need to contact the DNS server to ask the IP address of the website because we already have it. Examples for "detik.com" IP address "203.190.241.43".
The quality of the DNS Server greatly affect your browsing speed. If the DNS server you use slow in processing your requests or farther away from your computer then it can certainly slow down your browsing speed. By default we use the control that comes from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) we like StarOne, Telkom flash, etc. telkomnet.
But often the DNS server provided by our ISP are less qualified so many consumers who complained about the slow access to browse to a website. For that we have tips to speed up browsing using OpenDNS. OpenDNS is a free DNS server that can be used by all Internet users in the world.
The advantages of OpenDNS is as follows:
* Server was located in a strategic location on the Internet
* Having a domain name cache size is very large. In the world of computers system cache affect the speed of the process, an example of cache memory and cache web page
* Process query of domain names to IP addresses so quickly that it is accelerating the process of finding the IP address
* Other facilities associated with network security such as filters against phishing, malware or virus sites blocks
* Correction domain name, for example when you type wikipedia.og then OpenDNS will redirect to the correct address of wikipedia.org
If you want to know more about OpenDNS, you can read in the wikipedia article about OpenDNS OpenDNS or visit the site.In the OpenDNS website we can find information about OpenDNS installation on our computer. You can choose the guide that matches your operating system your computer here.
