Pressured by the demands of content reuse in a multi-device world, even lightweight blogging tools now leverage carefully modeled content types with explicit fields and schemas. Unfortunately, it all falls apart when users hit the body field: ugly ad-hoc markup creeps in, house styles evolve without planning, and critical metadata stays locked in blobs of "good enough for now" HTML.
We can solve it.
WordPress as a Storytelling Tool — WordCamp Toronto 2015Kevin Barnes
Online storytelling continues to evolve, with more complex and engaging forms appearing almost daily. What began as long-form online news articles has branched off in diverse directions, from websites that expand the universe of an upcoming Hollywood movie, to a loose fabric of apps and sites that together reinterpret a classic Victorian novel.
This session explored the boom in online storytelling and examined how both developers and users are leveraging WordPress to uniquely support such storytelling. The discussion touched on such WordPress solutions as the Aesop Story Engine plugin and themes such as Storyteller, Longform, Radcliffe and Editor.
This session was presented by Kevin A. Barnes at WordCamp Toronto 2015 on October 3, 2015.

Recon and Bug Bounties - What a great love story!Abhijeth D
n this talk, the speaker will demonstrate few effective techniques using which researchers/pen testers can do better information gathering. The speaker would also share many stories which allowed him to earn some bounties using these recon techniques. This techniques might also be useful to red teams/incident response teams to identify rogue devices in their organisation which are often missed out during normal penetration testing. These might not be “best practices” but are definitely “good practices” and “nice to know” things while doing Penetration Testing.

WordCamp Birmingham 2016 - WP API, What is it good for? Absolutely Everything!Evan Mullins
See the Power of the WP API. Now that every WordPress website has (or will have) an API built-in, what can you do with it? It allows us to further separate the data from the code. Use WordPress to manage our data and then via the API easily access or update that data to power whatever we like. We’ll touch how to set it up and a handful of examples and then explore an iOS app pulling all it’s data and assets from a WordPress site via this API.
This will be geared for developers with some “how to” but also for everyone interested in the power of WordPress and where things are heading.

"The Open Guide to AWS is an open source writing project, which over the past year has become one of the most popular AWS resources on the web. It’s both a written resource on GitHub, with over 100 contributors, and a large Slack group. Each has become a forum for trading practical knowledge not covered in standard documentation. In this session, we talk about the Guide and how it started, share lessons on seeding initial content, the editorial process, and how to foster a healthy extended community and encourage social engagement.
This session is part of the re:Invent Developer Community Day, six community-led sessions where AWS enthusiasts share technical insights on trending topics based on first-hand experiences and knowledge shared within local AWS communities."
FOWA London 2015
This talk is for those who once had to integrate an API that seemed to have been written by a drunken monkey, and for those who wrote an API and wondered why no one was using it. With mobile-first, single-page applications, and the second coming of JavaScript, exposing our applications as a service is now more important than ever. Lots of libraries and frameworks make really easy to create a RESTful(ish) API. Very often these APIs are designed without thinking on the developers that will have to use them. In this session I will tell you some of the things I love and some of the things I hate when it comes to using an API. I will also tell you some patterns you can follow to produce a more usable API.

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.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

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).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Threats to mobile devices are more prevalent and increasing in scope and complexity. Users of mobile devices desire to take full advantage of the features
available on those devices, but many of the features provide convenience and capability but sacrifice security. This best practices guide outlines steps the users can take to better protect personal devices and information.

Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
6. What happened in the 90s?
1989 HTML invented (thanks Tim!)
1992 First browsers built
1994 Netscape launched
1995 Internet Explorer in Win95, IIS bundled in
NT, Apache, PHP released
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
8. Make a Website, 1995-style
Web sites were coded in:
• Java
• C / C++
• Perl
• ColdFusion
• Python
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
9. Templates Blew the Doors off the
Internet
Late 90s Microsoft ASP, Apache JSP,
DreamWeaver, Velocity, etc.
Templates opened internet development to the
common man
Templates made data BROWSABLE
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
10. Templates made data browsable
Made linking easy
<asp:HyperLink …
<a href=“<%= getLink
(somedata) %>
Easy linking means
easy browsability
Drives the Network
Effect
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
11. APIs are stuck in the 80s
…1987, to be exact (28,174 hosts)
APIs must be browsable before they can be
adopted by 100m organizations
100m organizations == your sister’s dress
store, my mom’s knitting club
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
12. Comfortably Numb
We can stay stuck here if we
don’t link our resources
together
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
13. Links are about Relationships
Relationships are hard
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
14.
15.
16. Relationships are not hard after
all
• Relationships are a fundamental part of being
an animal
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
17. Relationships make Versionless
APIs possible
Relationships are very stable
The resources themselves move, but their
relationships do not
GET /profiles/id
• “addresses”: “/profiles/id/addresses”
? Hmm maybe addresses should be their own
resource ?
GET /profiles/id
• “addresses”: “/addresses”
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
18. Relationships make APIs
browsable
Browsable APIs == Browsable data == mass
adoption
First step is to make it easy to link
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
19. Cortex API Engine
Elastic Path’s API endeavors have failed four
times
2010 drank the HATEOAS Kool-Aid, reset our API
effort
Found no frameworks to help past URI-to-method
mapping and ser/deser
We built an engine using some existing
technology (Jax-RS, Spring, Shiro) and our own
work
Cortex is an API engine that happens to run
www.elasticpath.com @MattBishopL3
20. Cortex Design Philosophy
• Small, simple resources written by BAs
• Small, simple state changes via controls
• Form
• Selector
• “Secret Admirer” rule
• All Operations are identified
• REST is the Gestalt, HTTP is a transport
