Web Development and Search Meetup April 13, 2009

Come learn about how to build search-friendly code from Vanessa Fox, a former Googler and Nathan Buggia, with Microsoft Live Search. We'll cover the biggest issues search engines face in crawling, indexing, and ranking web apps, and how to write code that eliminates these issues. We'll also have lots of time for questions and networking. As always, there will be plenty of drinks and snacks!

When done right, Search engine optimization (SEO) is a fundamental building block of effective infrastructure design and improves the usability and web development best practices that most folks are using on the web today.

For more in-depth details about writing search-friendly code for your web applications, come out for the O'Reilly Found conference, the first conference devoted exclusively for web developers about SEO. Hear from Microsoft, Adobe, Google, as well as developers with real-world experience building web applications that attract visitors through search. Learn how to diagnose infrastructure issues and implement solutions that work. We'll cover a variety of technologies, including asp.net, IIS, Apache, Silverlight, PHP, Drupal, Wordpress, AJAX, and Flash.
