ARTICLE: My New Mac - Jotting Down Notes

Many times you need to jot down a tidbit of information, such as a telephone number, address, or name that you need to store temporarily. You could jot down the information on a sticky note and slap it on the side of your monitor. However, paper sticky notes can fall off and get lost. Your Macintosh provides two better ways to jot down and store notes where you can easily find them again. Project goal: Learn two ways to type and store notes for saving information.

ARTICLE: Validating Web Page Links with Ruby Script

The purpose of this script is to validate all the links on a web page. Checking link validity is important for several reasons. First, as a viewer, encountering broken links is very frustrating. Second, valid links make a site more professional. Finally, if your website contains a link to someone else's site and they move or remove a page, you have no way of knowing without specifically checking.

Without automating this task, a person would have to literally click each link to prove the paths were valid. Extremely small sites are easy to validate, but sites with many links are tedious and time consuming. This is an example of a task that, when done manually, could take several hours. With the use of some Ruby tricks, you can cut that time down to 10 seconds! Writing the script will take a little time, but it's reusable. The Code...

Architectural Photography: Digital Photographic Workflow

Architectural photography is more than simply choosing a subject and pressing the shutter release button; it’s more than simply documenting a project. An architectural photograph shows the form and appeal of a building far better than any other medium. With the advent of the digital photographic workflow, architects are discovering exciting new opportunities to present and market their work.

How can you improve your images in your digital darkroom? In Architectural Photography, a new title from Rocky Nook, Inc., you will find the answers to these questions and much more.

Adrian Schulz, both an architect and a photographer by training, uses real world projects to teach and illustrate how to...
