Google’s Internal Memo Leaked "JavaScript is Flawed, Won't Work, and Can't Be...Stephane Beladaci
Javascript has fundamental flaws that cannot be fixed merely by evolving the language. Building delightful applications on the web today is far too difficult. The cyclone of innovation is increasingly moving off the web onto iOS and other closed platforms. Javascript has been a part of the web platform since its infancy, but the web has begun to outgrown it. Complex web apps--the kind that Google specializes in--are struggling against the platform and working with a language that cannot be tooled and has inherent performance problems. Even smaller-scale apps written by hobbyist developers have to navigate a confusing labyrinth of frameworks and incompatible design patterns. Javascript as it exists today will likely not be a viable solution long-term. Something must change.
Web development tools have gone through a series of major changes than how they used to be. For starters, we no longer need computers the size of refrigerators to make introductory web runners.
Thanks to the power of pall computing (and a bevy of great SaaS businesses), we frequently do not indeed need a necessary computer at all. From the most introductory web cyber-surfer, you can do everything from edit query to sluice the rearmost videotape games.

XHTML is a markup language that provides structure and semantics to web pages. It is based on XML and is more strict than HTML. XHTML pages must have a document type definition, html and head tags, and a body where the visible content goes. Common XHTML tags include paragraphs, lists, links, images, and divisions to logically separate content. While XHTML provides structure, CSS is used to style pages and control visual presentation by defining rules for tags. CSS rules are defined in external style sheets to keep presentation separate from structure and content.

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
High performance Serverless Java on AWS- GoTo Amsterdam 2024Vadym Kazulkin
Java is for many years one of the most popular programming languages, but it used to have hard times in the Serverless community. Java is known for its high cold start times and high memory footprint, comparing to other programming languages like Node.js and Python. In this talk I'll look at the general best practices and techniques we can use to decrease memory consumption, cold start times for Java Serverless development on AWS including GraalVM (Native Image) and AWS own offering SnapStart based on Firecracker microVM snapshot and restore and CRaC (Coordinated Restore at Checkpoint) runtime hooks. I'll also provide a lot of benchmarking on Lambda functions trying out various deployment package sizes, Lambda memory settings, Java compilation options and HTTP (a)synchronous clients and measure their impact on cold and warm start times.
This talk will cover ScyllaDB Architecture from the cluster-level view and zoom in on data distribution and internal node architecture. In the process, we will learn the secret sauce used to get ScyllaDB's high availability and superior performance. We will also touch on the upcoming changes to ScyllaDB architecture, moving to strongly consistent metadata and tablets.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

2. Robert Godwin-Jones Emerging Technologies: Dynamic Web Page Creation
Visual Café. Another option is the use of template systems such as J-BAT, a tool under development for
creating Java-based quizzes for language learning. Java has great potential for creating sophisticated,
network-aware applications, especially real-time collaborative environments and interactive graphic
applications. One of the side benefits of Java for language teachers is its capability of using Unicode to
display many different character sets.
JavaScript
Java works essentially the same way as plug-ins. As with plug-in programs, Java applets are small
applications which are downloaded separately from the accompanying Web page. One of the more recent
ways to create interactivity provides a means for doing so while being incorporated into normal Web
pages. This is possible through the use of "client-side" functionality built into the latest round of Web
browsers. The most familiar approach is JavaScript. JavaScript is a scripting language created by
Netscape in 1995, which has been incorporated into their Web browsers since then (versions 2, 3, 4, and
Communicator). It shares some basic syntax with Java, but JavaScript is not a stand-alone programming
language -- it functions only within a Web browser. It is not as powerful as Java, but it is much easier to
learn and to use.
With each new version of their Web browser, Netscape has increased the functionality of JavaScript to
the point that it can be used today to create dynamic interactions in a Web page. JavaScript can be used to
generate actions in response to mouse clicks or even to cursor movements. Those actions can range from
putting a message in the "status bar" (at the bottom of the browser window), to changing an image on the
page, opening a new window, or adding text to a document in a frame.
One of the most useful attributes of JavaScript is the ability to work with form elements on a page such as
radio buttons, checkboxes, or text fields. It used to be that the only way to get at the data from a Web
form was to use CGI (Common Gateway Interface). This involves writing a program (most commonly in
Perl) which resides on the server and goes into action once a user has submitted a Web form. The CGI
script takes the data from the form and typically analyzes it, stores it (in a file or in a database), and sends
feedback to the user in the form of a Web page. It is particularly useful for creating collaborative learning
environments such as discussion forums.
With JavaScript it is possible to provide feedback based on information entered into a Web form without
having to send the data to a Web server. All the interaction is local -- within the user's Web browser --
and therefore can be significantly faster. There is also quite a bit more flexibility in how to provide
feedback; the form in its entirely does not need to be submitted (as is the case with CGI (examples). A
quiz, for example, can be analyzed question by question rather than submitted all at once for analysis,
thus providing a learning experience in addition to formal assessment (see examples in ESL, Spanish,
French, or German). However, if the answers need to be recorded, then that data must be returned for
central storage to the Web server through a CGI script (or a Java applet).
JavaScript has grown to be quite popular on the Web and is being used widely in a great variety of ways.
Indeed, it has proven to be a bit more useful than many perhaps originally expected. One of the principal
reasons is how it is incorporated into a Web page. JavaScript is not compiled (translated into machine
code) like Java; it appears as text alongside the HTML used to generate the Web page. That means that all
that is needed to create JavaScript is a text editor. It also means that anyone viewing a page containing
JavaScript can see (and borrow) the code by viewing the source of the page -- a process easily done
within any Web browser. Newer HTML editors such as FrontPage or PageSpinner make it even easier to
use JavaScript by making some of its functionality available in pull-down menus which automatically add
the necessary code to your Web page. Some editors, like PageSpinner, let you save your JavaScript (and
HTML) in 8-bit characters (using the international standard character set ISO 8859-1), which is crucial
for language learninguse.
Language Learning & Technology 10
3. Robert Godwin-Jones Emerging Technologies: Dynamic Web Page Creation
One issue of concern for users of JavaScript has been compatibility. Originally one had to use Netscape
Navigator 2 to be able to run JavaScript. Soon, however, Microsoft created "JScript" and incorporated it
into their Internet Explorer browser. However, since JScript was reverse-engineered and not derived from
licensing JavaScript, it did not (and does not) provide complete compatibility with JavaScript.
Fortunately, in a rare display of cooperation, both Netscape and Microsoft have recently agreed to a
common scripting standard based on the current version of JavaScript, with some changes. The official
standard, ECMAScript, has been endorsed by both companies and will be incorporated into their Web
browsers. However, compatibility is still an issue if one is concerned about other types of Web access
such as WebTV (and other set-top TV devices) or hand-held computers (using a browser like Nethopper).
Currently JavaScript is not supported by such browsers, nor is Java.
Dynamic HTML and Style Sheets
JavaScript is a key ingredient in Netscape's implementation of "Dynamic HTML" or DHTML. This is
intended to provide a means for changing elements of a Web page "on the fly," that is, after the Web page
has been displayed on the screen. Before the current (version 4.0) Web browsers, only certain parts of the
page such as images and form elements could be changed after the page had been displayed. With
DHTML the goal is to make virtually everything on the Web page able to be changed in reaction to user
actions. This includes the possibility of knowing where on the page a user has clicked. By making
everything on a Web page both "hot" and changeable, a dynamic environment is being created with
functionality similar to what is possible with traditional multimedia authoring systems. Typeface, color,
size, visibility, position, and other attributes can all be manipulated on the fly or in response to user
actions.
A major addition to the HTML language which enables dynamic access to page elements is Cascading
Style Sheets, a standard endorsed by the W3 Consortium as "CSS1." Style sheets allow Web authors to
control globally -- even across an entire Web site -- the appearance of elements on a Web page. This
creates a "dynamic object model" (DOM) allowing user or programmatic access to page elements. In a
stylesheet definition, a page element such as a header (with an HTML tag like "<h3>") might be initially
defined to display as bold and green, but through a user action or a scripted function could be changed to
italics and blue. This kind of interactivity is all local, not requiring any communication with the Web
server once the page has been displayed.
Unfortunately, Netscape and Microsoft's implementations of DHTML are different and largely
incompatible. Netscape uses a proprietary "layering" system to provide access to all elements of a page.
Microsoft supports the newly adopted CSS1 standard, but provides dynamic access to its elements
through its proprietary ActiveX language. Both companies have pledged to support the emerging
standards being proposed by the World Wide Web Consortium. For now, the safest way to ensure
compatibility is to use the CSS1 standard supported by both browsers without the link to JavaScript or
ActiveX. There are editors which will produce DHTML such as DreamWeaver from Macromedia. The
full power of DHTML will be evident when style sheets are tied directly to a common scripting language.
Instructional Uses
What's the benefit of using dynamic Web design in language learning? Many of us have tapped into the
rich array of authentic linguistic and cultural Web sites that have sprung up in recent years. To have such
a treasure chest of materials in multimedia-capable format available in a networked, cross-platform
format is a tremendous teaching and learning resource. Add to this the ability to integrate our own
learning materials and create Web pages which transparently link local resources with sites half-way
around the world, and we are talking about a very rich and dynamic environment for language learning.
Language Learning & Technology 11
4. Robert Godwin-Jones Emerging Technologies: Dynamic Web Page Creation
To get started in this area, the best approach is to first explore sites offering examples of dynamic Web
pages. A number of these sites offer the possibility of using and customizing the resources illustrated.
This means that instructors do not have to re-invent the wheel by authoring from scratch. However, it still
requires basic knowledge of how the different options work as well as an understanding of their syntactic
structures. Given the pace of development of the Web, it is likely that we will soon be seeing many more
authoring options for Java, JavaScript, and DHTML, particularly editors which (like current HTML
editors) hide the underlying code. At the same time, to exploit the full power of the medium to provide
pedagogical breakthroughs and new paradigms for language learning, it will be necessary to move beyond
ready-made, plug-in Web dynamism.
To get a sense of how one might use some of these interactive Web technologies in actual language
learning, here are some examples:
