SEO articles written by developers who care about Search Engines

SEO gets a bad wrap in the development community. But doing "good" in SEO terms means making content people care about and presenting it in a way that both people and machines can understand. These are positive aspirations.

A focus on SEO will, as an amazing byproduct, improve your performance and accessibility – both very human benefits.
