Comet allows for bidirectional communication between server and client by allowing long-lived HTTP connections. This overcomes limitations of traditional Ajax which uses polling. Comet enables new types of highly interactive web applications such as collaborative editing and streaming financial data. It works by having the client leave an HTTP request open to the server instead of closing after each response. The server can then push updates to the client without needing the client to poll repeatedly. There are different Comet architectures and techniques for implementing it on both the client-side, such as long polling and forever frames, and server-side. While not fully standardized, Comet provides a way to build real-time web applications today despite some browser limitations.

Using Callidus TrueAnalytics to Drive Sales Plan EffectivenessCallidus Software
Bruce Jackson discusses using Callidus TrueAnalytics business intelligence technology to analyze sales incentive plan data and determine if plans are effectively meeting business objectives. Key factors that make plans effective include measuring performance metrics against strategic goals, analyzing earnings vs performance correlations, and understanding operating expenses and how the plan impacts them. Turnover, earnings demographics, and market competitiveness can also provide important insights.
The samurai were powerful warriors in Japanese society from the 12th to 19th centuries who adhered to a code of honor. They practiced traditions like shudo, where older samurai would take on young male apprentices and engage in homosexual relationships as a way to teach virtues and strengthen bonds. Though controversial to modern Western perspectives, shudo was a culturally accepted practice for samurai at the time and thought to benefit both parties. As Japan modernized with Western influence, traditions like shudo declined but homosexuality remains more tolerated than in some Western cultures.

Alternative Design Workflows in a Post-PSD Era - WordCamp KC 2014Jeremy Fuksa
As responsive design and progressive enhancement become mainstream design practices, the decades old approach of using Adobe Photoshop to comp up page designs for clients is becoming increasingly irrelevant. A quick search online shows designers quickly clamoring for a better way to do their work.
Along with new tools to learn, there’s also the challenge of acclimating a client base that has been used to seeing fully-rendered Photoshop designs for decades. How do these new practices benefit them?
This presentation looks at some “post-Photoshop” design practices and how they might fit into a designer’s workflow. Additionally, Jeremy will share how a new design workflow has worked for his team at Clickfarm and how clients have received this new way of looking at their projects.
Vector images are scalable as they are based on mathematical formulas, while bitmap images map colors to grids so they are not easily scalable and enlarging distorts lines. Vector files like EPS and AI contain shapes while bitmap files like JPG and PNG are for photos. Embedded images are stored inside documents while linked images remain outside but linked. GIF limits colors to 256 so is best for simple images, while JPEG can show complex color ranges for photos. Lossless compression like ZIP reversibly compresses files without quality loss, unlike JPEG which can lose excess data imperceptibly. PNG overcomes issues with JPEG blurring text and GIF lower quality at high resolutions.
