Much of today’s access of internet content is done by way of
newsletters, search engines, and social media. Both have significant
drawbacks and are typically full of advertisements, not to mention the
tracking that’s going on, making us all commodities.
Our websites do have ads and we do want to track you, too.
However, we also want to provide you with technical content that’s
worthwhile and insightful. Some of this is current, news-oriented
content, but a bigger chunk is what’s often called “evergreen” content.
The term refers to content that’s as relevant now as it was when it was
first posted on the internet. Having been around for decades means we
have lots of articles, webinars, etc. that fit into this category.
Our effort here is to show you related content once you locate an
article. Why use a search engine when there are more related articles
at your fingertips?
Article Navigation Links
The first thing you will notice about some of our evergreen
content is that we have a few more navigational links at the top, and
sometimes at the end, of the article. They look like this:
This article is part of the Embedded Software series: Ada for the Embedded C Developer
These navigation links are like a second set of breadcrumb links. The example above refer to the Embedded Software in our Series Library. The article with the link is in the multipart series: Ada for the Embedded C Developer. Click that link to see the table of contents for the series. Similar links are found in articles that are part of a TechXchange. Likewise, an article may have a link to a PDF ebook version of
the articles or series that you can download.
So, if you found the “Contestant Controller Is Simple And Easy To Expand”
article via search, a newsletter, social media, etc., now
you can easily find other articles of the same type. You might also have found multipart series like “The Cryptography Handbook” or “System Design” in the Library:
Article Series. These are series designed to be read sequentially and
are often available as a PDF ebook.
The reason for having both types of links on each article is that
the regular breadcrumbs only find the latest content aligned by one
topic aspect, while the navigational links are related to how articles
are organized.
Content Resource Pages
You need to start somewhere, and that would be our Resources
landing page. It includes the following items, where you can drill
down to find our evergreen content:
