Is iPhone development a better career option or Android?

In the past 5 years Mobility market has shown that it has the capability of generating more than just satisfying money for Mobile developers. These are not just speculation but statistics proves it. When we look at Android which is just around 5-6 years old, its developer job postings (all positions) at various website has increased up to 5000% since its first ever. On the other hand when we look at iPhone as a product, its demand is exploding and hence the demand for iPhone developers. In such a scenario you might wonder whether to go with Android development or iPhone.

We have some statistics and data that might assist you in your decision.
First let us make you aware of what Android has to offer and how far it will take you and your career.
Android was first launched in 2005-2006 session and since then its growth has been enormous, when you look at market share in 2011 Q4, Android holds 48% of the total market share and Google has announced that there are around 190 million Android devices in the market.
These statistics show the firm grip of android over mobility market. And reports suggest that Android jobs may even surpass iPhone at the end of this year. Even though it’s hard to say what future might bring new to mobility as of now we consider Android development to be a glowing career.
The key areas in which you could get enrolled in Android development. (1) Application Programming, (2) GUI Designing and (3) Implementation. In each of these genres the average salary of a developer ranges from $97,000 to $120,000 depending upon the position and experience. The basic skills required for android development in Java SE, APIs and XML.
Now let us look at iPhone development and its growing prospects.
iOS as of now holds around 32% of the total market share at the end of Q4 and there are around 200 million iOS devices in the market. Although market share of iOS is much less as compared to Android its job openings and postings for iOS developer is much greater when compared to Android.
The average salary range of iOS developer is in the range of $94,000 to $115,000 which is near about similar when compared to Android developer. The difference with iOS is that it’s not an open source system and any application developed should first be certified with Apple when compared to Android, which requires zero certification. If you can live with this factor then iOS career is full of opportunities and growth. The basic skills required for iOS developer are Objective-C/C++ and OOP (Object Oriented Programming).
A single major fact that can easily land you an iOS job is you’re personally launched application in Apple’s application market as those applications are certified by Apple itself.
Conclusion
At the end of this article we conclude that although both the platforms Android and iOS offers growing careers for a developers, Android in near future may have better jobs posting and pay scale as compared to what it offers now but Apple’s iOS is not much far from what Android could achieve as it has the capability to turn table’s round which has been witnessed by the world in the past.

Logitech introduce solar-powered keyboard case for iPad

In a press release issued by the company, Logitech has announced the launch of the Solar Keyboard Folio – a book-style folding case for the second and third-generation iPad, that has a built-in solar-powered keyboard.

The Solar Keyboard Folio can be charged in any light, indoors or out, and based on average use of two hours per day, Logitech claims the keyboard’s battery will last two years on a full charge – even if used in complete darkness.
Like Apple’s Smart Cover, the Folio can wake your iPad on opening and send it to sleep on closing. When used as a stand, the case offers two viewing modes – in typing mode the iPad is placed in an upright position, giving full access to the keyboard. And in entertainment mode the iPad is lowered down leaving access to the play, pause and volume controls which are conveniently located on the bottom row of the keyboard.

When it goes on sale later this month, Logitech’s Solar Keyboard Folio will retail for £119.00 ($129.99).

Confirmed: new iPad 2s have better battery life

As we previously reported, when Apple lowered the price of the iPad 2, they also added a smaller, more energy efficient A5 processor to the device. At the time it was thought that the new chip should offer improved better battery life, and this has now been confirmed.

Anandtech, who were one of the first to discover the new chip, ran a series of tests comparing the newer iPad 2 (model 2,4), with an older 2,1 model and the new third-generation iPad:

“We measured a 15% increase in our web browsing battery life, a nearly 30% increase in gaming battery life and an 18% increase in video playback battery life. Although Apple hasn’t revised its battery life specs, the iPad 2,4 definitely lasts longer on a single charge than the original iPad 2.”

It’s worth pointing out that the third-generation iPad’s GPU and higher resolution screen use more power – hence the worst score in the chart above.
So if you are thinking about buying an iPad 2, the more recent 2,4 model would obviously be the one to get. Unfortunately though, the original iPad 2 continues to be sold alongside the latest one, and apart from opening the boxes and testing the devices in-store, there is no way of finding out which model you will end up with.

How To Register On Job Sites

It will quickly become apparent to anyone that visits multiple job sites, that they do not all work the same way. Some sites will allow you to copy and paste your resume into a dialogue box, whereas others will have you complete a questionnaire or a profile that was developed specifically for that website. This is the reason that you should want to become familiar with the rules of using job sites.
Job sites are usually free for people who are looking for jobs to use, but employers typically have to pay to post job openings on job search sites, and to have access to the resume bank. The paying employers want to limit their search time, and the job sites try to assist them by utilizing efficient screening tools. The questionnaires that you have to answer on these sites are a big part of this screening tool. By answering these specific questions, you are aiding employers to quickly screen your profile either in or out.
When you are filling out a questionnaire or profile, you should be thinking about two things:
1. Who is going to be reading my answers, and for what intention?
2. What are these questions really asking me?
The Monster resume builder is a perfect example of a screening tool used to aid the employer. To start a My Monster account, it is required to fill in the fields for name, address, career level, and degree. Although the initial required information is similar to other types of job sites, Monster allows you to maintain five different resumes/profiles. This is a helpful feature for people with skills in more than one professional area. When job sites allow you to have multiple resumes/profiles, you should take full advantage of it. Make some of your profiles very broad and others very specific to increase your visibility to potential employers.
The Monster resume builder is a good example, because it is fairly conventional in the way that it breaks the profile and resume into thirteen distinct areas, including Career Objective, Target Job, Target Location, Salary, Work Status, Skills, Personal References, and Education. Most job sites will ask you to address the same or similar subject matter in registering and creating online profiles.
On Monster, one of the first screens you will be asked to complete includes "Title" and "Career Objective". Monster offers examples to assist you in answering these questions. Using the advised answers is not in your best interest. Never lose track of the fact that employers pay Monster to save them time in recruiting by screening you out. Monster asks you to list a job title and to describe the type of position you are looking for under "Career Objective". If you want to be screened in and increase your visibility with potential employers, you need to think beyond the question. Every field that is filled out on the job site is a keyword opportunity. Rather than completing the "Title" field as "Computer Programmer," the space can be used to list relevant job skills like languages that you speak, software, and systems that you know.
The "Objective" field is capable of holding up to 2,000 characters - that is roughly half a resume worth of usable space for adding those valuable keywords. Again, following the examples provided by Monster would not be in your benefit. The site's examples list a two- or three-sentence objective statement. A better use of the "Objective" space would be listing your professional profile, accomplishments, language, software, systems expertise, and any other relevant information from your resume. While answering the questions, you are essentially rebuilding your resume, so it is essential that you use an abundance of keywords and highlight your past professional success stories.
You are not always limited to a single answer, even in the case of check boxes. You should always test the site to see if it is possible to select more than one answer. Don't ever assume your answers are limited to only one, even when the directions on the screen indicate that you are.
We all dread the salary requirements on an application or profile. Although the salary field is sandwiched between two "required" fields on most job sites, the salary field is not required. This means that you can, and should leave it blank. In circumstances where you are not able to leave the salary field blank, it is best to use a range, not a single figure.
On many job sites, you are asked to describe your ideal job and given a space that can hold up to 500 characters. Rather than answering the question, you should use this space to add more keywords to your profile. Keep in mind the screener is searching and retrieving candidates from a list of keywords that have been put into the system. The more keywords that appear in your profile, the further up on the list of matching resumes yours will be placed, and the more likely it is that your resume will actually get to a place where an actual person will see it. You should write in this space, "Job with opportunity to use..." then follow this statement with a lengthy list of pertinent keywords.
When answering questions relating to relocation, don't make a snap decision. Only answer this question if you have to; and if you do, choose the broadest option possible. Even if you are able to list several preferred location, don't. It is much wiser to keep your answers broad. A company or recruiter that is only interested in local candidates will utilize the address provided on your resume as a search parameter.
Even if you and your family are very happy in the city where you live, it is most wise to select "No preference" to questions related to your willingness to relocate. The situation that you are so happy about now may change in the future. Also since you should now have your Career Management/ Job Search database up and running, you should be able to store all of these opportunities for future consideration. Besides, any jobs that you interview for but reject, will serve as practice at honing your interview skills.
It is important to always read the small print on job sites, when completing online profiles and questionnaires, since the directions about the fields that are and are not required can be contradictory.
An additional common section on questionnaires pertains to work experience. It is likely that you will be given the opportunity to list all of your past jobs in chronological order. Your goal here is to build your online resume, not write a chronological narrative of your work history.
You should always utilize the work experience fields of questionnaires to put in descriptive stories about what you have done. Sometimes, you have to list responsibilities. For this, you should list your responsibilities and relationships with supervisors, then add achievements and keywords that are applicable to the context.
Also, recruiters and employers frequently look for candidates who are currently working for or have worked for specific companies or industry competitors. To make the most of their desire to hire a candidate with knowledge of the industry, make sure to take the time to list partners, customers, and companies that you have done business with. If you removed the specific information relating to your current employer from your resume, you can add that information to this list. It is most likely for you to come across online questionnaires and profiles in the following situations:
* Registering with a recruiting firm
* Posting your resume on a job board
* Applying for a job at a company
* Registering on a job site
In each situation, it is necessary to consider who is asking you the questions, and what they are looking to find out by asking the questions. Every audience is either trying to screen you in or screen you out, so carefully think about your response. You should always read the site instructions, and avoid answering questions relating to salary and relocation if possible, and add as many keyword to your profile as you are able.
These online profiles and questionnaires can affect your job search the same way your resume will. You need to treat this process with respect, and not rush through it. Make sure to spell-check and proof-read anything new that you are writing, and only post on websites that allow you to update and change your information at any time.

Weekly Job Search Tip: Look Farther Than Monster

This week's job tip is about broadening your searching to be more than just looking at Monster.com each day. It's surprising, but for many people they rely on Monster.com (or Careerbuilder.com) to find their next job for them. Unfortunately, in today's job market that's just not enough. If you want to find all of the opportunities available, you're going to have to dig deeper and work a little harder. At some point, it seems like almost all jobs end up in the internet (somewhere). The issue is where to look to find them.
The big search engines (like Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com) are excellent resources that offer tons of information - almost all of it for free. However, many jobs don't end up there. Why? Well, for starters, employers must pay to place positions on these sites. If they have 50 openings, it may not be cost effective to put all 50 on Monster.com. Rather they may pay to post just a few of the critical or high-profile positions on a big search engine. The remaining positions they might post at a regional/local or less expensive search engine. This is even more true for a smaller company without the resources to post and pay for all their openings. All the jobs would be available (of course) on the companies own website since that is free.
Another issue is that there's not risk or cost for an applicant to apply for open positions. They may or may not have the required experience or credentials for the work. Many employers experience a literal flood of resumes that are nearly impossible to sort through to find the truly qualified applicants. This also discourages employers for posting on big search engines. Again, this may be even more true for smaller employers (where most of the jobs are found).
Try this sometime. Pick a big and small employer in your area and find their Career web pages. Note the number of jobs and then try and find all these jobs on Monster.com or Careerbuilder.com. When we tried it we found that only a percentage were posted. If we were looking for that particular opening, we would have been out of luck.
So remember - Monster.com is a great site with lots of jobs and information, but be sure to look beyond it and branch out into other areas to find your next job. Try other search engines, look in your newspaper, and go to the employer's own web site to find all the jobs. Good luck!

The Impressive Power Of An SEO Blog

There are a plethora of techniques which can be used effectively during the course of a search engine optimization campaign. In many cases, a search engine optimization campaign benefits from social media optimisation being implemented simultaneously. The aim of the strategy is to gather as much of the right kind of traffic to a site as possible. It is then necessary to exploit the presence of these potential customers in an efficient manner. This means that the content on the site has to be of high quality. Poor quality content will not travel far on the social media networks, nor will it persuade potential customers to make purchases from a site. Content can come in a diversity of formats, some of which suit certain sites more than others.
At Searchengineoptimisation.co.uk we know that ‘one size does not fit all’ when it comes to SEO. This is because every firm and site has different features from its competitors. It is also the case that sites often start from different positions in the search engine results pages. However, despite the diversity associated with SEO solutions, some techniques work well in a broad range of contexts. One of the commonly effective methods is to regularly issue high grade content in the form of a blog. Blogs can cultivate a wide following and speak to a broad target audience.
The blog format considered
The blog format is often very effective because it suits the needs of net users. They often have short attention spans so they do not want to wade through long articles made up of large blocks of text. Reading from the screen can be tiresome so it is a shrewd move to break things up with lists and so on. Subheadings can highlight the relevant parts of a blog post.
The stimulating impact of a blog
Blogs are great for SEO because they can provoke comment. The idea is that when a site becomes full of user-generated content it can make a real difference. This means that users are doing some of the blogger’s work for them. Of course, the blog has to be interesting if it is to stimulate comments. An interesting blog is one which keeps going off in slightly different directions while remaining focused on the wants and needs of the target audience. It should contain useful information, but this should be balanced with comment.
A blog should inform
A blog is rarely purely entertainment based. It is usually trying to impart handy tips relevant to a specific economic sector. Industry news can also be covered, thus ensuring that the users do not get bored with posts being excessively similar to one another. Users often like tips, but an informative blog is about more than tip provision. If it can display its authoritative knowledge on a regular basis, it may eventually be perceived as an authority in its sector; again great for SEO.

Best WordPress SEO A Guide to Good Practice

Although best WordPress SEO involves some things specific to the platform, the basics are the same as with any other type of site.

Subject
Pick a subject, or niche, for your site and stick to it. A tightly focused site is better for SEO purposes so if you are blogging restrict your posts to the niche. To do otherwise will confuse your visitors and dilute your message to the search engines.
Keywords
Some keywords (and phrases) are highly competitive and, whilst it is not impossible, ranking for them will take a great deal of time and effort. Such keywords should be avoided because trying to rank for them will, in practice, be a waste of time even if you achieve the best WordPress SEO possible. You must take time to find keywords with a reasonable number of searches which are not too competitive. Good keyword selection will not guarantee your success but bad keyword selection will guarantee your failure.
It is also good for SEO purposes to include a keyword in the domain name.
WordPress Theme
Best WordPress SEO requires the selection of a theme designed with SEO in mind. Some themes are simply designed to look nice and these should be avoided.
WordPress SEO Plugins
Achieving best WordPress SEO can be helped by installing various SEO plugins. It is worth installing one of the SEO Packs (multifunction plugins) as these will work “out of the box” to tweak WordPress to be more search engine friendly.
There a many other SEO plugins that can be installed and each will improve the SEO a little. To achieve the best WordPress SEO possible you might want to install some of these but at the outset it is important to concentrate on producing good content.

Best WordPress SEO means that you must have good search engine friendly content which also meets the needs of your visitors.
Search engine friendly means that it is targeted towards a keyword and this keyword is used in the URL, title, headings and in the correct positions in the text. You also need to have at least one graphic and internal and external links. You need to achieve this is a way that appears natural to the search engines as they will punish any obvious attempt to manipulate them.
