A Blog Owners Best Friend Google Analytics

No Comments Uncategorized

A major update has been pushed out for Google Analytics, as described in a post on Google Webmaster:

Webmaster tools from Google are indispensable for people who optimize their site for indexing in Google. Eighteen months ago, Google launched another free tool for webmasters – Google Analytics – which tells you about your visitors and the traffic patterns to your site using a JavaScript code snippet to execute tracking and reporting. This past Tuesday, Google Analytics launched a new version, with an easier-to-use interface that has more intuitive navigation and greater visibility for important metrics. We also introduced some collaboration and customization features such as email reports and custom dashboards.

I simply love this tool, and the data it provides is invaluable to my day to day operations of this website.

Understanding C#: ?? Operator

No Comments Uncategorized

The ?? operator returns the left-hand operand if it is not null, or else it returns the right operand.

int? i = null;
int count = i ?? 0;

The value that count is set to is 0. The ?? operator is short hand for:

int? i = null;
int count = i.HasValue ? i.Value : 0;

Or

int? i = null;
int count = 0;
if (i.HasValue)
	count = i.Value;

The Understanding C# series at Coder Journal will be an on going project to help the readers to better understand the C# programming language that doesn’t get covered except at the more advanced levels.
