This document describes how to easily customize WordPress themes and plugins using CSS Hero. CSS Hero allows non-technical users to customize elements on a site using a WYSIWYG interface without any coding knowledge. Themes and plugins can be made customizable by adding a csshero.js file that declares elements to customize. This file uses CSS Hero's API to automatically generate configurable sections. Dynamic configuration is also possible by using jQuery to programmatically declare elements based on conditions.

This code changes directories to locate CSS and LESS files, strips their extensions, finds files that are common between the two lists, and removes cached copies of several specifically named files from the Git repository.
This code changes directories to locate CSS and LESS files, strips their extensions, compares the lists to find matches, and removes cached copies of matched files from the Git repository to avoid versioning generated files. It searches two folders for style files, removes their extensions, compares the lists to find matches, and git rm's the matched cached files.
This document changes directories to list CSS and LESS files, extracts just the filenames without extensions, finds the filenames in common between the two lists, and removes some specific cached files from the Git repository.
The Azure Storage service provides a massively scalable solution for applications that require scalable, durable, and highly available storage for their data. What are your options if you need to get a bunch of data into, out of, or between your Azure Storage accounts? . This talk will offer a quick introduction to AzCopy, a tool built on top of the Azure Storage APIs that provides command-line functionality for moving data into or across Azure Blob, File, and Table storage subscriptions. Its new “cousin”, the Azure Storage Data Movement library – which allows programmatic access to the AzCopy functionality – will also be discussed.

The Django Test client is one of the more powerful testing tools in the Django test arsenal. However, in order to get the most out of the test client, it's important to understand what it is for - and what it isn't for.
This howto will give an overview of the Django test client - when to use it, what it can be used for, and when to use something else entirely.
The Django community is not short of ideas that could be added to Django's core repository. Some of these ideas are great, and are just waiting for the right implementation or the attention of a core developer. Other ideas are just not going to happen.
However, it's may not always be obvious why an idea has been rejected by the core team. This talk will attempt explain the reasoning behind a couple of specific decisions. More broadly, this talk will aims to provide more general guidance on the decision making process behind the decisions made by the Django core team.
This document summarizes key details about the Pinax project, an open source platform for building community websites with Django.

The document outlines approaches to designing reusable groups and account apps in Pinax.
Fighting Malnutrition with SMS and DjangoAndy McKay
This document discusses a project that uses SMS and Django to fight malnutrition by identifying and helping malnourished children in remote villages. Community health workers use mobile phones to measure children's mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) and report cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) via SMS. The SMS reports are processed by a system built with Rapidsms, PyGSM, and Django that routes messages between health workers, administrators, and clinics. The system validates data and generates automated responses. Testing tools were developed to test SMS interactions. Overall the project aims to more easily identify and help malnourished children who may otherwise go unnoticed due to a lack of centralized health records in remote areas.
Keynote for DjangoCon 2009, presented on the 8th of September 2009. Covers two cowboy projects - WildLifeNearYou.com and MP expenses - and talks about ways of "reigning in the cowboy" and developing in a more sustainable way.
The document appears to be a presentation about web application development trends. It discusses the rising popularity of frameworks like Django, Rails and PHP. It also covers topics like rich internet applications, latency, cloud computing, frameworks like Lift and Webmachine, and how web applications are changing for users, developers and operators. The presentation includes several images and recommends following Ted Leung online for more information.
The document discusses best practices for managing settings across different environments in Django projects. It recommends:
- Creating a base.py file that contains common settings and sane defaults.
- Creating separate files for each environment (e.g. local.py, staging.py, production.py) that import from base.py and override any necessary settings.
- Using an environment variable or CLI parameter to specify which environment-specific settings file to use. This allows the same codebase to work across different environments without code changes.
How long does it really take to install and configure IBM Connections - 99% of your time is taken up by waiting for things to install.
In this 45 minute presentation everything you need to know about installing and configuring your first connections install
Chef is a tool that helps provision and manage servers and their configurations. It comprises of three main elements - a server, nodes, and workstations. The server manages cookbooks and policies and ensures nodes comply with policies. Nodes are the managed servers. Workstations are where code is created and changed. Chef uses resources like packages, services, files to describe a system's desired state and recipes to combine resources. It follows a test and repair model to ensure nodes match their desired state.

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:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
