The Tiger Report - Per Play Index (PPI)

Product Description

      Our goal is to help you leverage your time more effectively with the use of our tool. The PPI© can be used to help you quickly and efficiently generate and analyze player comparisons. This is incredibly useful whether you are just putting together your draft strategy, or on a week by week basis of who to play and not to play, or even who to pick up from the waiver wire. Our tool can be used to evaluate your options in any given situation.

      The PPI is a way to determine a players effectiveness in terms of fantasy point generation, on a per play basis. This of course is not the only way to determine a players value, but it is a value that you can weight against other values in a comparison. Some players require many opportunities to generate X amount of points, some players can do that with less opportunities. This equates to higher chance to reach their point totals, essentially being less risk.

The PPI covers the Quarterback, Running Back, Receiver and Tight End positions. Each position group has their own tab on the spread sheet, with the Top 50 fantasy performers from last season (standard scoring).

This includes:

• A Zip file with a Microsoft Excel 2010 spreadsheet.
• A Microsoft Word Users Guide.

WordPress and Ajax: An in-depth guide on using Ajax with WordPress

Product Description

The WordPress and Ajax e-book is a comprehensive view on using Ajax with WordPress. It covers Ajax like you’ve never seen before.

The book contains three real-life examples that provide the rationale and logic behind coding decisions, the reasons for Ajax’s use, and the steps from inception to completion of the examples.

First, the book builds a foundation for you to send your first Ajax request.

This includes:

• An explanation of Ajax best practices – What Ajax should do, and what it isn’t meant to do.
• How to add scripts and styles properly to WordPress – How plugin and theme authors should add scripts to WordPress. This also covers page detection and other advanced techniques.
• Properly formatting scripts using jQuery – How to adhere to the jQuery authoring guidelines for easy-to-read code and maximum compatibility.
• Localizing your JavaScript files – How to add localized JavaScript variables without using PHP.
• An explanation on how to override someone’s scripts and styles.
• WordPress security, including nonces and data validation.
• Several different Ajax techniques are explained.

After the foundation has been built, the book introduces you to sending you first request.

Sending your first request includes learning:

• Learning the code foundation for sending that first request.
• Adding server-side security for the request.
• Processing the request on the server-side.
• Responding to the request on the server-side.
• Parsing the response on the client-side.
• Outputting the data to the user.

After the foundation has been laid and you have a good idea of the theory behind an Ajax request, we begin work on the examples.

• Example 1: WP Grins Lite – We take a common and popular plugin and convert it to use Ajax for the loading of the smilies.
• Example 2: Static Random Posts - We take a common widget and add an Ajax function to it. This example will not only teach you how to create a widget, but also an admin panel, and Ajax functionality.
• Example 3: Ajax Registration Form – We take an ordinary registration form and perform data validation on it using Ajax.
