For Beyond the Black Box, University of Edinburgh, February 2017
As the datasets used by humanists become ever larger and more readily accessible, the ability to render and interpret overwhelmingly large amounts of information in graphically literate ways has become an increasingly important part of the researcher’s skillset. In this workshop, participants will be introduced to the core principles of scholarly data visualisation and shown how to use a variety of visualisation tools.
Visualisations may sound like the opposite of a black box, as they display the data provided. However, aside from 'truthiness' of things on a screen, lots of invisible algorithmic decisions affect what appears on the screen. Data used in visualisations is increasingly generated algorithmically rather than manually. What choices is software making for you, and whose world view do they reflect? Algorithms are choices - if you can't read the source code or access the learned model, how can you understand them?

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

easily organized. If more information is required than the bookmark or
comment itself provides, Docear can open the PDF on the page the
bookmarks points to.
• Second, all information is structured in a mind map. Information
management in a mind map is much more effective and efficient than using
a simple list or social tags.

Called Wikipedia Live Monitor, Google engineer Thomas Steiner created the tool with the hypothesis that “if a breaking news event is important, it will be reflected on at least one language edition of Wikipedia,” and “the time between when the news broke first and the news being reflected on Wikipedia is considerably short.”[Clip]By monitoring the number of editors and edits on any given page within a short amount of time, Wikipedia Live Monitor is able to point out a number of “breaking news candidates,” which Steiner says might be more reliable than a Twitter feed.“The main motivation of using Wikipedia instead of social media is you get a lot of events in one place—almost everything relevant in a breaking news sense has a Wikipedia page,” Steiner says.

Writing AppsScrivener (Windows and Macs) -- http://www.literatureandlatte.com/scrivener.phpExcellent pack of writing tools. Use images Docearhttp://www.filetransit.com/view.php?id=128087Program integrates mind mapping with writing. Solution for searching, organizing and creating academic literature (assignments, theses, books, research papers). Where an office suite bundles several applications for office workers, Docear integrates several applications for researchers, i.e. academic search engine*, file manager, PDF reader*, mind mapping and note taking tool, reference manager, paper drafting, and word processor*. Most of these components are exchangeable which means, if you don't like Docear's reference manager, you can easily use another one instead.Docear has two unique features, no other tools offer. First, Docear let's you import PDF annotations (bookmarks, comments and highlighted text). This way, a document's most important information can be easily organized. If more information is required than the bookmark or comment itself provides, Docear can open the PDF on the page the bookmarks points to. Second, all information is structured in a mind map. Information management in a mind map is much more effective and efficient than using a simple list or social tags.SEE VIDEO HERE -- https://www.docear.org/software/screenshots/

Information visualization firm Periscopic just published a thoughtful interactive piece on gun murders in the United States, in 2010. It starts with the individuals: when they were killed, coupled with the years they potentially lost. Each arc represents a person, with lived years in orange and the difference in potential years in white. A mouseover on each arc shows more details about that person.You can then select categories and demographics, which provide comparisons between ethnicities, gun type, sex, and others. Roll over the bar in the middle for a density plot representation.
