ItalianSkin: an improvement in the accessibility of the Plone interface in order to be compliant with Italian laws and screen readers for blind people

•

1 like•1,017 views

The Italian government has made a law specifying the accessibility requirements (the most famous is the usage of the Strict XHTML) for public administration websites. To enable Plone front- and back-end to be compliant with these specifications the ItalianSkin project was initiated, but its development has gone beyond the simple implementation of the law and has continued with the objectives of making Plone wholly functional with screen readers for blind people and providing developers with automatic tools to improve the accessibility of their own sites. We would recommend this talk to anyone developing websites and in particular to those who are responsible for accessibility.

Zope did many things right originally by using Python and including batteries, but it had some downfalls like being unpythonic, having too many products instead of modules, and becoming too complicated over time. Zope 3 aimed to address these issues but ended up being too abstracted and complex itself. The document discusses potential ways to build on Zope's strengths while avoiding its weaknesses.

Where's the source, Luke? : How to find and debug the code behind Plone

Vincenzo Barone

Plone, being a python based CMS written as a project for the Zope application server, consist almost entirely of python modules and a number of configuration files. Python source code is loved by many in the community for its explicit readablity; however, for many experienced software developers, coming over to the Plone technology stack can be a haunting experience. It seems everything is hidden away as pickled object in the ZODB, and that layers of magic prevent one from understanding how it works and how to affect change. This presentation will explain to the novice: - how to track down the python source behind Plone - how to take advantage of rich open source tools like ctags and pdb - best practices for getting started with file system product development

Sally Kleinfeldt - Plone Application Development Patterns

Vincenzo Barone

In 2004 The Nature Conservancy adopted Plone as the platform for ConserveOnline.org, a community site for sharing conservation information. Since then, we have gained experience implementing several successful Plone intranet applications, made plenty of mistakes, and learned how to - and how not to - approach new Plone projects. This talk will compare our experiences developing two very different intranet Plone applications that manage conservation information. The first application has a complex data model with a relational database backend and makes minimal use of Archetypes. Its requirements - including data model and user interface - were rigidly specified based on a spreadsheet tool. The second application is Archetypes-based and was developed using UML modeling and ArchGenXML. It has a simple data model, uses the ZODB for storage, and its requirements were more loosely specified. From the lessons we learned on these projects, we have developed a set of application pattern definitions to guide us when choosing technologies and estimating costs. We think these pattern definitions can help managers, integrators, and people new to Plone understand when to use Plone, when not to use Plone, and how to structure their interactions with clients to ensure a successful Plone project.

DBI for Parrot and Perl 6 Lightning Talk 2007

Tim Bunce

This lightning talk proposes adopting the Java JDBC API specification as a common database driver API for Parrot and open source languages. Currently, database interfaces for most languages are limited, different from each other, and involve duplicative development efforts. A common API based on the mature and well-documented JDBC standard could allow drivers to be shared across languages and improve functionality. The speaker is already working on a Perl module that implements the JDBC API and a Summer of Code project to explore a Perl 6 implementation of the DBI API using this module.

C c#

Sireesh K

This document compares C, C++, and C# programming languages. C is an older procedural language without object-oriented features, while C++ added classes and objects but remained low-level. C# is newer and higher-level, with full object-orientation and memory management via garbage collection like Java. Key differences include memory management, type safety, library support, and language complexity.

Domain Modeling & Full-Stack Web Development F#

Kevin Avignon

In this case study, we will look at how F# helps tackle the complexity; its type system allows for a clean and intuitive representation of the domain, while keeping us from introducing all sorts of accidental bugs. In the modern web applications, the issues are many. Developers must be expert of different stacks to be able impact the software. One of those issues is to be able to move from the back-end to the front-end using different languages which involves a lot of context switching and potentially duplicating code such as for validation, or introducing bugs by manually creating objects in a Javascript and sending them back to the server for it to handle. SAFE brings many technologies together into a single type-safe and flexible F# stack. It enables skill reuse since the models can be shared and all you’re required to know is F# for your next web application.

Fast content import in Plone

Andrew Mleczko

This document describes a method for quickly importing a large number of documents into Plone. The method involves: 1) Creating lightweight brain objects with minimal metadata for each document and cataloging them in the portal catalog. 2) Using a custom traverser to allow users to access the brain objects. 3) Displaying a view when users access brains to inform them the document needs migration and providing an option to import it. This spreads the import process over many users and makes it much faster than importing all documents at once.

Tesi Laurea Specialistica

lando84

Information integration, application integration and component‐based software development have been among the most important research areas for decades. The last years have been characterized by a particular focus on web services, the very recent years by the advent of web mashups, a new and user‐centric form of integration on the Web. However, while service composition approaches lack support for user interfaces, web mashups still lack systematic development approaches and mature technologies. In this paper, we aim to overcome both these shortcomings and propose what we call a universal composition approach that naturally brings together SOAP services, RESTful services, RSS and Atom feeds, and user interfaces. We propose a unified component model and a universal, event‐based composition model, both able to abstract from low‐level implementation details and technology specifics. Via the mashArt platform, we then provide universal composition as a service in form of an easy‐to‐use graphical development tool equipped with an execution environment for fast deployment and execution.

Conquering Gef Part 1: Effectively creating a well designed graphical editor

Vineet Sinha

The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) enables developers to create client-side rich graphical editors based on existing domain models. Eclipse's GEF has a steep learning curve, and at times it can be difficult to understand even for developers fully accustomed to it. There are a number of technical challenges associated with using GEF that developers should be aware of and know how to handle. We discuss difficulties that GEF developers face, and we enumerate ways to overcome them. Topics include using GEF correctly, implementing features not provided by the framework, and avoiding misuses of GEF that result in errors and bugs. In particular we present thoughts on MVC logic separation, the role of edit policies, customized layouts and graphical techniques, and potential threading concerns. The tips and insights provided by this talk are useful for both new and experienced GEF developers. See http://www.architexa.com/labs#gef for more information on our work.

Joshua May

The document discusses tips and challenges for building mobile web apps. It notes that while mobile capabilities have improved, developing for the wide variety of devices, browsers, and firmwares remains difficult. Complex layouts are especially challenging due to varying screen sizes and lack of mouse/keyboard. The document recommends tools like WURFL and WALL to detect device capabilities and serve the appropriate experience, as well as testing on actual devices. It emphasizes keeping content simple, reducing requests/file sizes, and adapting to changing mobile landscapes.

Conquering Gef Part2: Building graphical web-apps with Eclipse

Vineet Sinha

The Graphical Editing Framework (GEF) enables developers to create client-side rich graphical editors based on existing domain models. In the past building interactive box-and-arrow applications has mostly meant being limited to running them on the desktop. Moving them to the browser required a significant re-write and was only possible after severely limiting the application's capabilities. Inspired by Eclipse RAP, we have been working on supporting the Eclipse GEF APIs in the browser. The goal is to enable an easy transition of GEF-based client applications to the web and support fully functional visualization applications in the browser. See http://www.architexa.com/labs#gef for more information on our work.

Making Chaos Accessible - Aaron Leventhal - Paris Web 2008

Association Paris-Web

The Web can be nearly anything. Emerging techniques show that chaos finally erupted out of the confinement of standards. From the primordial web soup, new forms are emerging that perhaps the eye can understand, but are devoid of reasonable semantic structure to help the other senses . Can chaos be made accessible? Are the new interactions only for the benefit of mainstream users? Or is this another case of a crisis becoming an opportunity? The powerful new WAI-ARIA draft standard can annotate markup with structure. The structure helps assistive technologies such as screen readers, screen magnifiers or alternative input software make sense of the previous chaos. WAI-ARIA has great potential for accessibility, such that users with disabilities can not only survive in the chaos, but thrive as well. What about adoption? Will authors even use WAI-ARIA? The answer is a good one for the future of accessibility. Adding WAI-ARIA to markup does not change how a web page behaves for mainstream users, even in user agents with no WAI-ARIA support. Thus, we are seeing very steady growth of support. Collaboration among vendors is at a new high, as Microsoft, Mozilla, Opera, Apple and Google work together to harmonize browser implementations. JavaScript widget toolkits such as Dojo, YUI, GWT and jQuery are gaining support. Screen readers and screen magnifiers are also gaining support. Killer examples of WAI-ARIA in web applications are Gmail, Google Docs and Yahoo! mail. Is the future complex? Yes. But we can also enjoy new possibilies. Finally, compelling interaction and enhanced accessibility will not be strangers.

It then discusses compatibility patterns for dealing with browser differences, and examines some extensions made by browsers like Internet Explorer that eventually became standards. The document concludes by considering whether another browser war could emerge between current browsers like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Safari.

Yikes...It Looks Like That?! - UI Worst Practices

Bruce Elgort

The document provides examples of poor user interface design practices in applications. It discusses user interfaces that make data entry difficult by not properly handling formatting, provide unclear error messages that do not explain the problem or suggest solutions, use interface elements like radio buttons incorrectly, reuse components without ensuring they fit the context, use excessive and clashing colors, include too many tabs, show non-functional interface elements, are not designed for printing, integrate disparate programs in incoherent ways, and do not provide clear instructions for "magic" functions. The document emphasizes that applications must prioritize good user experience and learn from past mistakes.

1) The document discusses the history of web browsers and the "Browser Wars" between Netscape and Internet Explorer. It also discusses the rise of Firefox and how Mozilla aimed to make the Internet a better place. 2) Firefox allows extensions to extend its functionality. Extensions can range from simple single-feature extensions to more complex applications. The interface of Firefox is written in XUL, which is similar to HTML and XML. 3) Developing extensions involves setting up an environment, studying existing code, debugging through trial and error. It also requires dealing with bugs and restrictions. The process can be difficult but rewarding.

How to market Plone the Web2.0 way

Vincenzo Barone

Lennart Regebro What Zope Did Wrong (And What To Do Instead)

Vincenzo Barone

Zope did many things right originally by using Python and including batteries, but it had some downfalls like being unpythonic, having too many magical parts, and being too complicated. Zope 3 aimed to address these issues but ended up being too abstract and XML-based, slowing development. The document discusses ideas for improving on Zope by having a low entry threshold, being highly modular, and starting with finished applications that use Python and a component architecture.

Wichert Akkerman Plone Deployment Practices The Plone.Org Setup

Vincenzo Barone

The plone.org and plone.net websites are the first confrontation with Plone for most users. It is important that they perform well and are stable. With almost 4 million page views per day and thousands of LDAP users plone.org and plone.net are examples of a complex deployment setup requiring LDAP, caching and load balancing - all on a single machine. I will describe how the Plone websites are build and how those practices can be applied to other sites, making it possible to scale upwards to bigger sites or make smaller sites more efficient.

Philipp Von Weitershausen Untested Code Is Broken Code

Vincenzo Barone

If you're one of those programmers who think that subtle bugs only happen to other people, or that only bad programmers need extensive testing, this talk is for you. Any non-trivial piece of software should be accompanied by an appropriate suite of automated tests. Your Plone products are no exception. By understanding approaches to automated testing and following good working practices, you can improve the quality of your code, as well as your confidence in your own work. In this talk, Philipp von Weitershausen and Martin Aspeli will take you through the theory and practice of unit testing, integration testing and functional testing. Through real-world examples, you will learn that testing is not only necessary: it can be fun too!

This technical presentation will cover many aspects of what one might encounter when a plone site is to be deployed in a highly demanding environment. And for what it's worth, these are not only theoretical examples, but they have also been proven to work in real life. The following items will be presented: * High Availability architecture * Clustering with ZEO * Synchronizing Data.fs * Load Balancing * Sticky Sessions * Caching * Single Sign-On

Rocky Burt Subtyping Unleashed

Vincenzo Barone

The document discusses subtyping in Plone and presents an example of creating a new document subtype called "UltraDoc" using the p4a.subtyper package. The example shows how to define a marker interface, descriptor class, template, and ZCML configuration to integrate the new subtype into Plone so it appears as its own content type with a customized view. The presentation aims to demonstrate how subtyping can be used to provide different identities for content and transform content based on events.

Alec Mitchell Relationship Building Defining And Querying Complex Relatio...

Vincenzo Barone

The current story for relating content in Plone, via Archetypes reference fields, is limited and known to have poor performance in some cases. This talk will focus on the integration of Zope 3 tools for handling relationships (intids, zc.relationship) in Zope 2 via plone.app.relations. In particular I will be comparing the merits of these tools against existing methods (Archetypes references, using a separate RDBMS for content relationships), discussing particular applications for which they may be useful, and some areas in which they fall short. The comparison to existing relationship modeling tools will cover performance, flexibility, and convenience. To illustrate the relative convenience, I will give a brief overview of the plone.app.relations API, from the lower level index and relationship container to the high level API for making queries and defining relationships. The discussion of applications will focus on a some real world uses. These include social networking, defining complex taxonomies, having content appear attached to multiple locations, and other things for which Plone typically would not be suitable (these tools are in use at http://www.thedailyreel.com). In particular, I'll discuss how the default relationship attributes and query methods from the API can be used to model each of these applications. Finally, I'll discuss the areas in which these tools may fall short in terms of performance and flexibility, and where an RDBMS or specialized catalog may be necessary.

Wageindicator Foundation: a Case Study

Vincenzo Barone

The Wageindicator Foundation deploys Plone for it's world-wide portals on wage information. Moreover, Plone serves as an application platform for most of the web based tools used to create questionnaires, salarychecks and other interactive content. The Wageindicator Foundation was started in 2000 in the Netherlands, and is now the hub of an international collaboration between universities, research institutes, trade unions and commercial parties. The goal of the foundation is to share and compare wage information, and so to contribute to a transparent labor market. The ideological stance of the foundation means that Open Source and free software is preferred. The separate sites collect over 400.000 visitors per month, served by four clusters of two machines each, hosted in the USA, India and the Netherlands. Techniques involved are HA-Clustering, load-balancing, caching, remote distribution of new releases for software.

Tom Lazar Using Zope3 Views And Viewlets For Plone 3.0 Product Development

Vincenzo Barone

A hands-on workshop on how to use Zope3 Views and Viewlets in Products targeted for Plone 3.0 (and why you would want to do so). Special emphasis will be on best practices in general, handling and validation of forms and how Zope3's shiny new toys make it easier to write reusable code and cleaner markup. Finally, the talk will deal with how Views and Viewlets can help you make your product better cacheable. Although the talk is targeted at Plone integrators who already have experience using the older CMF-based approach it will also try to address people new to Plone who want to customize it in a future-proof manner.

Vincenzo Barone

In recent years MIT has been releasing course materials online through their OpenCourseware project, making content available all around the world for free. Many people have benefited and continue to benefit today from having these materials available. Other universities are also now beginning to see the value of participating in similar movements, and are publishing OpenCourseware sites of their own. This movement is growing across the world including universities from several countries such as Japan, China, Spain, the Netherlands, Mexico, and the United States. Producing web sites with freely available educational content can be a complicated endeavor for many academic institutions. Work is currently being done to reduce the technological and economic barriers to participating in OpenCourseware. A project called eduCommons, which is built by the Center for Open Sustainable Learning (COSL) at Utah State University, is making it easier for institutions share their course materials. This session will detail the evolution of eduCommons, from its first release on Plone 1.5.2, to the most current version that has just been released on Plone 3. Even if you are not involved in OpenCourseware, but are contemplating making course materials or educational content available on the web, you will want to learn about our approach to writing reusable Plone based educational products, and learn about best practices of how to publish educational content from those who have been involved in the OpenCourseware movement.

Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers. Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server

Antonios Katsarakis

This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
