GTALUG Presentation on CouchDB

The document summarizes Mark Matienzo's failed presentation on using distributed version control systems (DVCS) for archival metadata. He chose to use Mercurial because it was fast and simple to use, but struggled with diffing and patching XML documents due to its hierarchical structure and lack of standardization for expressing patches. The presentation failed to effectively convey these challenges.

John Blyberg gave a presentation at the 2009 LITA Camp about the ecology of information in a digital age. Some key points from the presentation include: - Data is being created constantly and rapidly through the Internet, but it is only useful when understood in context. - As information becomes more complex, there are more opportunities to understand it within different contexts. - 21st century librarianship involves information architecture and organizing information to make it accessible from anywhere through any device. - Users need to be able to easily find and access information, so retrieval, speed, and seamless user experiences are important considerations.

These are slides from my presentation on Functional Interaction Design, presented at DrupalCon Paris 2009. (I presented an earlier version at DrupalCamp Colorado 2009.) Credits for the wonderful kitten photos are at the end, 2nd to last slide.

Please visit my blog (leapfrog.nl/blog) for a version that includes an approximate transcript.

This document discusses experience design and outlines three paths - structural, community, and customer - for designing digital experiences. It emphasizes making websites easy to navigate, fostering real conversation and connections in online communities, and mapping the customer journey to improve the digital experience. The document recommends connecting with customers, creating experience stages, focusing on conversation, and improving the ordinary aspects of digital experiences.

The document discusses strategies for making mobile websites faster, including optimizing images, caching resources, minimizing redirects, leveraging new HTML elements like <picture>, compressing files, and ensuring smooth performance after page load. It emphasizes the importance of measuring site performance and adapting delivery based on network conditions and device capabilities.

This document lists image credits for 12 stock photos depicting people using or interacting with computers and technology in various contexts, including working outdoors on a laptop, people expressing different emotions toward screens or technology use, groups of teens using computers, and people texting or interacting socially with devices.

This document discusses the challenges of measuring the impact and value of investments in digital resources and services. It notes that while performance was originally the main focus, the emphasis is now shifting toward tracking usage and value, though not all impacts can be measured in the same way. Consistent measurement of things like audience size, market penetration, and value for money is important but difficult.

This document is from Future, Inc. and Eric Garland from 2007. It discusses digital trends and questions about the future. It provides resources for 20 slides on topics ranging from Future, Inc. to digital trends to questions about the future.

This document discusses the importance of website speed and performance. It notes that most top retail sites take over 3 seconds to load critical content, and median page load times have slowed by 23% year-over-year. Faster sites see benefits like 10% higher conversions. Network latency has a greater impact on performance than bandwidth. Techniques like preloading fonts and images can help mitigate latency. Frameworks and features like service workers may also help if designed deliberately for performance. Regular measurement and setting performance budgets are recommended to build fast user experiences.

This document describes how to build a Jabber bot that can process Twitter messages serialized as XMPP messages. It provides instructions on setting up the necessary Ruby gems, creating a daemon to serialize tweets, writing specs to test the bot's behavior, and implementing the bot client to apply rules to messages. Sample Twitter messages in XMPP format are also included. The goal is to allow others to build their own bot armies that can process tweets and perform actions.

Twitter DevNest presentation about Twitter as a brain and You as a neuron. Mind opening thoughts about what twitter really might be. Or a lot of metaphor.

This document provides information about the Flickr API and how to use it. It includes: - An overview of the Flickr API and what can be done with it, including searching for photos by a user ID. - Examples of calling specific Flickr API methods like flickr.photos.search and flickr.photos.getInfo to search for a user's photos and get information on a single photo. - Details on authentication requirements like the API key and how to structure API requests. - A list of the different Flickr API methods that are available to access data through the REST interface.

Presentation version of my book, Designing the Digital Experience, given at Computers in Libraries 2009. Focuses on creating digital experiences on websites.

The document describes the RailsConf 2008 conference that took place from May 29 to June 1, 2008 in Portland, Oregon. It provides details on the various sessions, speakers, tutorials, and events at the conference, including sessions on refactoring, testing, scaling Ruby applications, and using Rails to build entrepreneurial projects. Links are provided to photos and videos from the different parts of the conference program.

It provides an overview of revision control, describes how to install and use basic Mercurial commands like init, add, commit, status, log, diff, tag, push, pull, and serve. It also discusses configuring external diff tools and the .hgignore file.

This document provides an overview of CouchDB, a document-oriented database. It describes CouchDB's key features such as storing data as JSON documents with dynamic schemas, providing a RESTful HTTP API, using JavaScript for views and aggregations, and replicating data between databases. It also provides code examples for common operations like creating, retrieving, updating and deleting documents, as well as attaching files. The document recommends libraries for using CouchDB from different programming languages and shares the code for a simple CouchDB library created in an afternoon.

This document discusses options for hosting a personal website, including using a home server, free web hosting, or paid shared hosting. Some key points covered are: - Hosting on a home server has the advantages of using existing equipment but risks downtime from ISP outages and requires setting up dynamic DNS for a public site. - Free shared web hosts have minimal costs but risk losing data if the hosting company goes out of business. - Paid shared hosting moves administration responsibilities to the hosting company and provides better uptime and infrastructure like T1 lines and data centers, but costs a monthly fee.

Google App Engine allows users to develop and run web applications on Google's infrastructure without having to manage servers. It provides automatic scaling, a data store based on BigTable, user authentication through Google accounts, and scheduled tasks. Applications run in a secure sandbox and are only able to access other computers through HTTP and email. The SDK allows local development and testing before deploying apps to Google's servers from Windows or Mac computers.

Django is a Python-based web framework that allows for rapid development of complex, database-driven websites. It was developed by a newspaper company and released publicly in 2005 under a BSD license. Django aims to reduce duplication through reusability of code and components like its model-template-view architecture, administration interface, authentication system, and generic class-based views. It includes features like pluggable applications, deployment options via WSGI or mod_python, and scalability.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html
