Modern Web Development (2018)

This is a short presentation About "Cloud Computing". I have declare here about what is cloud comp, why this is important, its structure etc...

This document discusses cloud computing and its potential applications and benefits for libraries. It begins with an introduction to cloud computing that defines it as enabling ubiquitous, convenient access to configurable computing resources. The document then covers cloud computing characteristics, models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), architecture, examples of current uses, and pros and cons. In particular, it explores how cloud computing could provide more efficient and flexible library services by reducing costs and increasing storage and mobility while allowing libraries to shift their focus from infrastructure maintenance. Real-world examples of academic libraries currently using cloud solutions are also presented.

This document discusses different cloud computing models including infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). IaaS provides basic compute and storage resources, PaaS provides development platforms, and SaaS provides business applications that users can access via a web browser. The document also discusses public, private, hybrid, and community cloud models and how they differ in terms of ownership, access, and use cases.

The document discusses cloud computing, including definitions, key characteristics, components, roles, and implementations. It defines cloud computing as using web-based tools and storing information on remote servers operated by another company. Key characteristics include scalability, multi-tenancy, pay-per-use pricing, and device/location independence. The main components are infrastructure, storage, platforms, applications, services, and clients. Implementations discussed include the Virtual Computing Laboratory and Amazon EC2.

This document discusses the concept of cloud computing and its implications for businesses. It begins with definitions of cloud computing and discusses various cloud service models (infrastructure as a service, platform as a service, software as a service) and deployment models (private cloud, public cloud, hybrid cloud). It then addresses how cloud computing provides opportunities for resellers to offer new services while some users still have concerns about security and reliability. The cloud market is growing rapidly but still makes up a small percentage of overall IT spending currently.

Cloud computing is changing how businesses operate by providing power, flexibility and cost savings. It delivers computing resources like software, storage and infrastructure over the internet on an as-needed basis. There are three main types of cloud computing models - Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides virtualized computing resources, PaaS provides development tools and platforms, and SaaS provides applications delivered over the internet. Major cloud providers include Amazon, IBM, Microsoft and Google who offer these cloud services to businesses.

This document summarizes Microsoft's vision for cloud computing. It discusses how cloud computing represents a shift from centralized, on-premises computing to an on-demand service model where scalable resources are provided over the internet. The document outlines Microsoft's consumer and business cloud offerings, including Software as a Service, Platform as a Service, and Infrastructure as a Service. It promotes Microsoft's private cloud solutions and Windows Azure platform as ways for organizations to leverage cloud computing.

This document provides an overview of cloud computing, including definitions, examples of cloud services, basic concepts around service and deployment models, and advantages and disadvantages. Specifically, it defines cloud computing as on-demand access to computer resources without direct management. It lists common cloud services like Google Drive, Dropbox, and AWS. It also describes the main service models of SaaS, PaaS, and IaaS and deployment models of public, private, and hybrid clouds. Finally, it outlines advantages like flexibility and cost savings as well as disadvantages like lack of control and potential bandwidth issues.

Cloud computing allows users to access applications and files from any internet-connected device by storing data and running programs on remote servers rather than local hardware. This centralized storage and processing provides more efficient computing and allows users to access software from any location without needing to install programs. Popular cloud services include email programs like Gmail, file sharing services, and platforms for building and hosting websites and applications.

Cloud computing provides on-demand access to shared computing resources like networks, servers, storage, applications and services available over the internet. It allows users and businesses to access these resources as needed without having to manage physical infrastructure themselves. The average internet user was one of the early major adopters of cloud computing without realizing it through services like email, photo storage, and social media. Cloud computing is here to stay due to benefits like agility, scalability, lower costs and simplifying software deployment for businesses of all sizes.

AWS Cloud Computing Concepts provides an overview of cloud computing concepts including compute, infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). Compute refers to physical servers running operating systems and networking. IaaS provides access to compute instances, storage, and networking where users manage the operating system. PaaS removes infrastructure management, allowing users to focus on application deployment. SaaS provides completed software products managed by the service provider that users access over the internet.

The document discusses different cloud computing models including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides compute infrastructure like servers and storage as a service. PaaS provides development platforms and runtime environments as a service. SaaS provides business applications hosted in the cloud that users can access via a web browser. The document also discusses public clouds, private clouds, hybrid clouds, and community clouds as different deployment models for cloud computing services.

Provides a primer to the technologies that paved the way for cloud computing and describes the current state of the art. The presentation provides an overview of IaaS, SaaS, PaaS, BaaS, and rich mobile device connectivity to the web.

Cloud computing delivers hosted services over the Internet and is broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). IaaS provides virtual servers and storage, PaaS provides development tools on the provider's platform, and SaaS provides fully managed, front-end accessed applications. Cloud services are elastic, on-demand, and fully managed by the provider. Cloud computing builds on decades of research in virtualization and distributed computing to provide scalable, flexible computing resources and reduce IT costs for users.

This document provides an overview of cloud computing and its application in education, particularly distance education. It discusses key cloud concepts like deployment models (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS), benefits of cloud computing for education including cost reduction and improved collaboration, and how cloud computing can enhance distance learning by providing flexible, on-demand access to educational resources for students and teachers. The document argues that cloud computing has the potential to transform how educational institutions utilize and consume IT resources to better support teaching and learning.

This document provides an overview of cloud computing, including the different types (IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, etc.), how it works by hosting information on remote servers accessed over the internet, the benefits of scalability and reduced costs, and the risks around loss of control and dependency on cloud providers. It also discusses cloud clients, examples of cloud applications, and storage as a service.

Talk given at CANNEXUS 2020 on the release of our Computing Careers and Disciplines booklet, which has gone on to be downloaded over 200000 times since its release.

This talk advocates for a conceptual archetype (the Public Computer Intellectual) as a way of practically imagining the expanded possibilities of academic practice in the computing disciplines, one that provides both self-critique and an outward-facing orientation towards the public good.

Short presentation based on my 2020 paper that appeared in the Communications of the ACM

Lightning Talk given at the start of the celebration evening for the ten-year anniversary of our Bachelor of Computer Information Systems at Mount Royal University.

Talk given in September at our new student orientation. Audience are new students going in to our two computing programs.

Talk given at SIGCSE'19. Web development continues to grow as an essential skill and knowledge area for employed computer science graduates. Yet within the ACM CS2013 curriculum recommendation and within computing education research in general, web development has been shrinking or even disappearing all together. This paper uses an informal systematic literature review methodology to answer three research questions: what approaches are being advocated in existing web development education research, what are current trends in industry practice, and how should web development be taught in light of these current trends. Results showed a significant mismatch between the type of web development typically taught in higher education settings in comparison to web development in industry practice. Consequences for the pedagogy of web development courses, computer science curriculum in general, and for computing education research are also discussed.

Presentation at Cannexus 2018 in Ottawa in which we discussed the results of our three-year research project on student understandings of the computing disciplines and described the 32-page full-color booklet for advisers and prospective students.

This document discusses the process of constructing a textbook on web development. It covers planning the textbook's topics and structure, writing the content over 7 months while splitting chapters with a co-author, undergoing review processes, redrawing over 120 diagrams in a new style, and producing a second edition with additional content such as JavaScript and CSS3. Key challenges included navigating copyright issues, outsourcing production, and ensuring diversity in illustrations. The document provides insight into the lengthy efforts required to research, write, and produce a college textbook.

Every year at our new student orientation, I used to give this talk to our first year students. Instead of telling them what they should do to achieve success, we thought it would be more effective and humourous to tell them instead how best to fail your courses. This was the last version of this talk from 2017.

This 2016 presentation (for a paper) updates the findings of a multi-year study that is surveying major and non-major students’ understanding of the different computing disciplines. This study is a continuation of work first presented by Uzoka et al in 2013, which in turn was an expansion of work originally conducted by Courte and Bishop-Clark from 2009. In the current study, data was collected from 668 students from four universities from three different countries. Results show that students in general were able to correctly match computing tasks with specific disciplines, but were not as certain as the faculty about the degree of fit. Differences in accuracy between student groups were, however, discovered. Software engineering and computer science students had statistically significant lower accuracy scores than students from other computing disciplines. Consequences and recommendations for advising and career counselling are discussed.

A Pecha Kucha for WWW2016 in Montreal. Web development is widely considered to be a difficult topic to teach successfully within post-secondary computing programs. One reason for this difficulty is the large number of shifting technologies that need to be taught along with the conceptual complexity that needs to be mastered by both student and professor. Another challenge is helping students see the scope of web development, and their role in an era where the web is a part of everyday human affairs. This presentation describes our 2014 textbook and our plans for a second edition revision (which will be published in early 2017).

This presentation reports the initial findings of a multi-year study that is surveying major and non-major students’ understanding of the different computing disciplines. This study is based on work originally conducted by Courte and Bishop-Clark from 2009, but which uses a broadened study instrument that provided additional forms of analysis. Data was collected from 199 students from a single institution who were computer science, information systems/information technology and non-major students taking a variety of introductory computing courses. Results show that undergraduate computing students are more likely to rate tasks as being better fits to computer disciplines than are their non-major (NM) peers. Uncertainty among respondents did play a large role in the results and is discussed alongside implications for teaching and further research.

This presentation explores the concept of citizenship based on the experience of student leaders from a mid-sized university in western Canada. Five student leaders participated in semi-structured individual interviews to explore their experience with, and understanding of, citizenship. Interviews concentrated on personal view points and definitions of citizenship, explored whether or not there are “good” and “great” citizens, and the role universities play in fostering strong citizenship amongst its student body. The measurement of citizenship and opportunities to foster citizenship were also explored. Qualitative content analysis revealed five themes, including political participation, social citizenship/solidarity, engagement, transformative action and autonomy. Citizenship, while highly valued by this population, also appears to be impossible to measure. If post-secondary institutions are aiming to create better citizens, more work needs to be done to create a common understanding of the intended outcome. Based on these findings, a new potential model of citizenship is proposed, in line with the work of Dalton and others who emphasize a shift towards personal involvement over traditional political engagement. Further, these results suggest that students could benefit from understanding themselves as political agents, capable of inculcating change within the university context and beyond.

This document is a chapter from a textbook on web development security. It covers several key security principles for web development, including the CIA triad of confidentiality, integrity and availability. It discusses risk assessment and management, including identifying actors, impacts, threats and vulnerabilities. Authentication methods like passwords, multifactor authentication and third party authentication are explained. The importance of authorization to define user privileges is also covered. Overall security practices like secure design, testing, policies and business continuity planning are recommended.

The role that information and computing technology (ICT) plays in improving human flourishing is not always clear. This presentation examines current research on one aspect of ICT, namely electronic reading, to demonstrate that in this case the ICT in question may actually diminish flourishing. It begins with an overview of the idea of flourishing in positive psychology, and then presents research on electronic reading comprehension, multitasking and distraction, and online scanning behaviors. The paper then makes an argument about the close connection between reading and flourishing, and then concludes by hypothesizing that mindful‐based reading practices may mitigate some of the worst features of electronic reading.

Textbooks are an essential part of the student experience, but may seem a daunting prospect to write. This presentation describes my experience with a recently-written textbook. It covers such issues as: writing a prospectus, the current textbook market, writing schedules, production issues, and marketing.

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

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.
