EasySearch is a simple and inexpensive full-text search solution for EPiServer websites. It indexes pages and files on EPiServer events to provide up-to-date search results without requiring site crawlers. Developers can customize the indexing and search process through configuration files and a pluggable API. EasySearch includes web parts and a demo page to display search input, results, and paging functionality out of the box.
Ruby on Rails 4 is out featuring Russian Doll caching (AKA Cache Digests). In this article, I apply Russian Doll caching to one of my poorer performing Rails 3 pages using the cache_digests gem.
Presented by Nikola Vasilev on SkopjeTechMeetup 7.
Representational state transfer (REST) can be thought of as the language of the Internet. Now with cloud usage on the rise, REST is a logical choice for building APIs that allow end users to connect and interact with cloud services. This talk will deliver more insight into the challenges on building and maintaining good and clean RESTful APIs.
Over the last few years, Airbnb’s frontend architecture has evolved to keep pace with the rapid advancement happening the JavaScript world. Starting as a humble Rails 2 + Prototype.js app in 2008, the frontend stack powering airbnb.com has gone through a few revisions, including a push towards single-page app architecture with Backbone.js and Handlebars.js, an adventure into isomorphic JavaScript with Rendr (our library for using Node.js to server-render Backbone SPAs), and most recently, a move toward React.js and a re-envisioning of our build pipeline to take advantage of CommonJS, ES6, and a Node.js-based transform system. Spike Brehm, software engineer on the @AirbnbNerds team, will walk through how we approached and executed on these changes. Plus, get excited to see a preview of our new approach to isomorphic JavaScript, allowing us to server-render React components from our Rails app.
Spike Brehm is a software engineer at Airbnb who specializes in building rich web experiences. As a JavaScript nerd, he has spent the last few years shipping web apps and prototyping Airbnb’s front-end stack, experimenting with “isomorphic JavaScript” — apps that have the flexibility to run on both the client and sever using the same codebase.

Best Practices for Architecting a Pragmatic Web API.Mario Cardinal
This presentation teach how to design a real-world and pragmatic web API. It draws from the experience Mario Cardinal have gained over the years being involved architecting many Web API. This presentation begins by differencing between a Web and a REST API, and then continue with the design process. We conclude with the core learnings of the session which is a review of the best practices when designing a web API. Armed with skills acquired, you can expect to see significant improvements in your ability to design a pragmatic web API.

The Complementarity of React and Web ComponentsAndrew Rota
On Github: http://andrewrota.github.io/complementarity-of-react-and-web-components-presentation/index.html
The component driven, performance focused approach of React is a perfect complement to the modularity and portability of native HTML Web Components. At first glance, React and Web Components might seem like two radically different solutions to the same problem. But when combined properly they complement each other to create an extremely powerful, expressive framework for developing complex web applications.
CRUD APIs can be a very powerful tool. However, simply PUTing and POSTing entities can lead to anemic endpoints that lack business value. Go beyond the traditional CRUD API and provide more expressive and meaningful REST endpoints with an API crafted with a commanding paradigm.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Editor's Notes
This presentation provides a technical overview of EasySearch product from Networked Planet
These are the standard problems associated with search.How many times have you heard people use 6 figures to describe the amount of money spent on just their search…. … and then it still didn’t give you the search results you expected it to.
EasySearch is a name we’re really happy with, it combined the two most important things we wanted to achieve. The “Search” is obvious, however what we really wanted was “Easy”.
