It then states it will show the presenter's tools, sources, and methods for finding things online, but will not provide step-by-step instructions. Various search engine operators are mentioned like using hyphens, specifying file types and locations. Specific tools brought up include the minus operator, site specification, and browser toolbars. Social media, blogs, alerts, and bookmarks are listed as additional sources for finding information online.

Distributed computing - where data is consumed from external Web sites, sometimes 'mashed', or displayed in some other way on your own site, has become a powerful way of providing functionality, and requires little or no financial outlay or technical understanding. This workshop will look at some of the services available and examine some of the ways that they can be combined or otherwise used on your site and for prototype development.

Patricia Hoffman Phd

Determining the overall system performance and measuring the quality of complex search systems are tough questions. Changes come from all subsystems of the complex system, at the same time, making it difficult to assess which modification came from which sub-component and whether they improved or regressed the overall performance. If this wasn’t hard enough, the target against which you are measuring your search system is also constantly evolving, sometimes in real time. Regression testing of the system and its components is crucial, but resources are limited. In this talk I discuss some of the issues involved and some possible ways of dealing with these problems. In particular I want to present an academic view of what I should have known about search quality before I joined Cuil in 2008.

UX techniques

Grand Union

The document discusses the value of user experience (UX) design and provides an overview of the UX design process. It notes that poor UX cost Expedia $12 million in lost sales in 2010. Good UX increased Macy's sales by $15 million in the first month and $300 million in the first year. The key steps of UX design include stakeholder meetings, card sorting, interviews, analysis, research through methods like contextual inquiry and surveys, solution design including personas and wireframes, and testing through paper prototypes, usability tests, and multi-variant testing. The document is authored by Sunny Kumar, UX Director at Grand Union.

Location Based Services: Overview

Grand Union

Location-based services (LBS) utilize mobile devices and location data to provide information services. LBS grew with increased smartphone adoption, allowing people to more easily find out "where are you?". One in five mobile searches are now locally relevant. Major players include Foursquare, which has grown to over 14,000 new users per week and over 6,500 LBS apps on the app store. LBS provides value to consumers by helping find friends and relevant information locally, and to businesses by driving in-store traffic, launching new products, and rewarding customer loyalty. Future directions may include more niche networks and shared location-based services between small businesses.

Creative Brief Breakfast

Grand Union

The document provides guidance on writing effective creative briefs. It stresses that briefs should define the communication objective and inspire original ideas, not just copy the client brief. It recommends starting by defining the problem and insights about consumers, competitors, the market, technology and the product. The brief should distill these insights into a compelling proposition and story. It should not simply list information but instead provide a creative platform and expected deliverables. Briefings should make the process enjoyable by discussing insights rather than just reading documents.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data Warehouse

Federico Razzoli

Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you. A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services. But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts. We will discuss these topics: - How to gather information about a business; - Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities; - Dimensions and facts; - Setting a table granularity; - Types of facts; - Types of dimensions; - Snowflakes and how to avoid them; - Expanding existing dimensions and facts.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024

Hiroshi SHIBATA

I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems. The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS. Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application. I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Editor's Notes

The web is not linear so your searches shouldn't be either. Contextual links within articles, related links, blog roll links - if they look interesting make sure you click on them even if you've still got stuff to read on the page. Two ways to do this and not lose your place...
Right click - Open in new tab. Then as you're tabs grow you can work across them right to left. Can get very cluttered, but if you start your session on a fresh, clean browser, you know all the tabs are there for a reason.
Consume things quickly. Scan for their relevance and if it's what you're looking for copy the link in to notepad. Then go back with a long list and start to extract what you need If you approach every site like a textbook when you're writing an essay, you will take forever and miss the gems more time might allow you to find.
