This article is the first part of a series of articles on using JavaScript tools. Today, JavaScript is a very powerful language that can be used to build web apps, mobile apps, and even some pc games — perhaps a bit faster than you would build them otherwise.
New libraries have emerged in the web industry to address the challenges of JavaScript — libraries such as JQuery, Prototype and many others have been released. Today, a popular question asked by many is — should i learn the libraries such as jQuery or learn basic JavaScript. The truth is that the libraries help you to create faster, responsive JavaScript, but there are still times when your basic knowlege of JavaScript will be called into question. It is for this reason that I have created this eBook, to assist newbies learn JavaScript.
JavaScript - An Introduction is a beginner's guide to JavaScript. It starts with very basic level and goes to intermediate level. You'll be introduced with every language constructs, Event handling, Form handling and AJAX which is supported by JavaScript with XMLHttpRequest object. This XHR object is discussed in enough detail so that you can understand how the underlying AJAX functionality works in jQuery. At the end it discusses advance concepts and library build on/around JavaScript.

The Future Of Giving: Why Students And Young Alumni Matterefrawley3
Strong student philanthropy education programs and meaningful engagement of young alumni are critical components of any annual giving shop because those two audiences are the future the alumni database. Christina Diss, Director of Annual Giving at Linnfield College and Leanne Goolsby, Associate Director of Annual Giving at University of Portland cover how their respective schools built programs to inspire students and young alumni to give back.
The skeletal implementation pattern is a software design pattern consisting of defining an abstract class that provides a partial interface implementation. However, since Java allows only single class inheritance, if implementers decide to extend a skeletal implementation, they will not be allowed to extend any other class. Also, discovering the skeletal implementation may require a global analysis.
Java 8 enhanced interfaces alleviate these problems by allowing interfaces to contain (default) method implementations, which implementers inherit. Java classes are then free to extend a different class, and a separate abstract class is no longer needed; developers considering implementing an interface need only examine the interface itself.
In this talk, I will argue that both these benefits improve software modularity, and I will discuss our ongoing work in developing an automated refactoring tool that would assist developers in taking advantage of the enhanced interface feature for their legacy Java software.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery.

Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Overview
¡ JavaScript
is
a
scripting
language
commonly
implemented
as
part
of
a
web
browser
in
order
to
create
enhanced
user
interfaces
and
dynamic
websites.
¡ Can
be
run
client
side
or
server-‐side
(Node.js
–
a
JavaScript
environment).
¡ Use
a
text
editor
to
write
in
an
html
document,
test
in
browser.
¡ Foundation
for
code
libraries
like
JQuery.
We’ll
be
using
a
text
or
html
editor
and
a
browser
for
these
exercises.
Open
a
blank
document
in
your
text
or
html
editor.
Open
any
browser
(preferably
IE
9
or
higher,
or
Firefox,
Chrome.
Using
the
Script
Tag
The
<script>
tag
is
used
to
present
JavaScript
in
an
html
document.
You
don’t
have
to
add
type
(for
HTML5,
type
default
is
“javascript”),
but
it
is
not
a
bad
idea
to
be
specific.
Can
be
placed
in
head
or
body
of
document.
Ex.
<script>
</script>
or
<script
type=”text/javascript”>
</script>
Scripts
will
go
within
these
tags.
Write
Your
First
Program
Write
the
string
“Hello
World!”
to
your
document
<script>
document.write("Hello
World!");
</script>
2. Comments
Developers
use
comments
to
leave
notes
in
the
code,
provide
instructions
for
other
developers
or
to
provide
clues
to
certain
techniques.
It
helps
to
organize
code.
Comments
can
also
be
used
to
temporarily
remove
and
test
code
without
having
to
delete
it.
With
the
script
tag.
//
This
is
a
comment
/*
This
is
a
multi-‐line
comment
*/
Note:
basic
html
comments
are
handled
by
<!-‐-‐
-‐-‐>.
This
would
be
used
in
html
documents
outside
the
<script>
tag.
Objects,
Properties
and
Methods
For
this
exercise,
we
will
mostly
be
using
the
document
object
to
write
code
to
the
document
loaded
in
the
browser
window.
We
do
this
by
calling
the
document
object
and
the
write
method.
document.write(“info
goes
here”);
Side
Note:
The
document
object
is
part
of
the
Document
Object
Model
(DOM).
There
are
other
objects
associated
with
the
DOM.
Some
objects
are
browser
objects
(i.e.
window).
More
on
this
here:
http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/default.asp
Objects
can
also
have
properties.
Properties
don’t
have
arguments
(and
therefore
parentheses),
but
are
used
to
return
specific
information
about
the
object.
i.e.
document.title;
This
returns
the
title
of
the
document.
You
still
need
a
method
to
tell
it
what
to
do
with
what
it
returns.
document.write(document.title);
Basic
JavaScript
Syntax
End
lines
with
semicolon
;

Anything
can
be
an
object
in
JavaScript
–
any
data
type,
as
you
will
see
as
we
progress
through
the
exercises.
Some
objects
are
built-‐in
(i.e.
document,
window),
some
can
be
defined.
3. Data
Types
String,
Number,
Boolean,
Array,
Object,
Null,
Undefined
-‐
programming
languages
have
syntax
and
functions
that
work
with
a
variety
of
data
types.
We
will
mainly
be
concerned
with
strings
and
numbers,
later
adding
booleans
and
arrays.
Length
Length
is
a
string
property
that
returns
the
length
of
the
string.
<script>
document.write("Hello
World!".length);
</script>
You
should
see
a
number
that
is
the
length
of
that
string,
including
the
space.
Concatenation
Use
concatenation
to
join
strings.
The
"
"
represents
a
space.
<script>
document.write("Hello"
+
"
"
+
"Cindy!");
</script>
Variables
Use
variables
to
store
numbers
and
strings
<script>
var
name
=
"Cindy";
document.write("Hello"
+
"
"
+
name);
</script>
and
<script>
var
firstname
=
"Cindy";
var
lastname
=
"Royal";
document.write(firstname
+
"
"
+
lastname);
</script>
4. Math
and
numbers
Operators
and
Math
Within
your
script
tag,
try:
document.write(3+4);
document.write(3-‐4);
document.write(3*4);
document.write(3/4);
Substrings
I’m
using
these
scripts
to
see
what
my
JLo
name
would
be,
finding
the
first
character
of
my
first
name
and
the
first
two
characters
of
my
last
name.
<script>
var
firstname
=
"Cindy";
var
lastname
=
"Royal";
document.write(firstname.substring(0,1)
+
lastname.substring(0,2));
</script>
or
<script>
var
firstname
=
"Cindy";
var
lastname
=
"Royal";
var
first
=
"Cindy".substring(0,1);
var
last
=
"Royal".substring(0,2);
document.write(first
+
last);
</script>
Alerts
and
Prompts
Use
these
within
the
<script>
tag
Alert
-‐
a
general
warning
alert("Danger");
Confirm
-‐
answer
yes
or
no
confirm("Are
you
sure?");
5. Prompt
-‐
answer
anything
-‐
creates
variable
prompt("What
is
your
name?");
<script>
var
name
=
prompt("What
is
your
name?");
document.write("Hello
"
+
name);
</script>
Booleans
and
if
statements
Use
booleans
to
test
if
something
is
true
or
false.
Combine
with
an
if/else
statement
to
define
different
outcomes.
Notice
that
the
if
statements
actions
are
delineated
with
curly
braces.
if(1>2){
document.write("Yes");
}
else
{
document.write("No");
}
Comparisons
(=
or
==)
A
single
equal
sign
(=)
indicates
assignment,
usually
used
to
assign
a
value
to
a
variable.
If
you
are
doing
a
mathematical
test
for
comparison,
then
you
use
2
equal
signs
(==).
2+2==4
var
name=”Cindy”
Functions
Functions
allow
you
to
define
an
operation
and
then
use
it
later.
Notice
the
statements
in
the
function
are
enclosed
in
curly
braces.
<script>
var
hello
=
function
()
{
var
name
=
prompt("What
is
your
name?");
document.write("Hello
"
+
name);
}
hello();
</script>
6. Arguments
You
can
add
arguments
in
the
parentheses
of
a
function
to
pass
information
into
it.
<script>
var
hello
=
function
(a)
{
document.write("Hello
"
+
a);
}
hello("Cindy");
</script>
Loops
Loops
allow
for
iteration
through
a
cycle.
The
while
loop
is
a
statement
that
uses
a
variable
as
initializer,
condition
and
iterator.
<script>
var
i=0;
while
(i<5)
{
document.write("I
am
writing
this
five
times<br
/>");
i++;
}
</script>
The
for
loop
reduces
some
of
the
coding
by
having
three
statements
in
the
parentheses,
separated
by
a
semicolon;
-‐
an
initializer,
a
condition
to
test
and
an
iterator.
<script>
for
(var
i=0;
i<4;
i++)
{
document.write("I
am
writing
this
4
times<br
/>");
}
</script>
Arrays
Arrays
allow
you
to
store
a
collection
of
information
in
a
variable
and
then
access
it
via
its
index
number.
Index
numbers
start
with
0.
<script>
var
favGroups
=
new
Array("Old
97s",
"Spoon",
"Wilco");
document.write(favGroups[1]);
</script>
7. You
can
use
a
loop
to
iterate
through
an
array.
<script>
var
i=0;
var
favGroups
=
new
Array("Old
97s",
"Spoon",
"Wilco");
while(i<favGroups.length){
document.write(favGroups[i]
+
"<br
/>");
i++;
}
</script>
Using
JavaScript
in
an
html
document
getElementById();
is
a
magical
method
that
you
can
use
to
access
parts
of
a
Web
page.
<html>
<head>
<script>
function
nameChange()
{
document.getElementById('first').innerHTML
=
'Jon';
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p>Hello
<span
id="first">Cindy</span></p>
<script>
nameChange();
</script>
</body>
</html>
8. Events
An
advanced
use
of
JavaScript
in
an
html
document
has
to
do
with
mouse
events.
An
event
is
an
interaction
–
onclick,
onload,
onmouseover,
onmouseout.
Use
events
combined
with
getElementById()
to
create
interactivity
on
your
site.
Simple:
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<html>
<body>
<h1
onclick="this.innerHTML='Good
work!'">Click
on
this
text!</h1>
</body>
</html>
In
a
function:
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function
changetext(id)
{
id.innerHTML="You’re
a
pro!";
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<h1
onclick="changetext(this)">Click
on
this
text!</h1>
</body>
</html>
9. More
advanced
use
of
getElementById()
with
form
This
form
asks
you
to
select
your
favorite
browser,
then
it
stores
that
info
in
a
variable
and
presents
it
in
an
a
box
on
the
page.
<!DOCTYPE
html>
<html>
<head>
<script>
function
favBrowser()
{
var
mylist=document.getElementById("myList");
document.getElementById("favorite").value=mylist.options[mylist.selectedIn
dex].text;
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form>
Select
your
favorite
browser:
<select
id="myList"
onchange="favBrowser()">
<option></option>
<option>Google
Chrome</option>
<option>Firefox</option>
<option>Internet
Explorer</option>
<option>Safari</option>
<option>Opera</option>
</select>
<p>Your
favorite
browser
is:
<input
type="text"
id="favorite"
size="20"></p>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Now
you
have
a
basic
understanding
of
programming
concepts.
There
are
many
ways
to
go
from
here.
You
can
learn
more
about
coding
Web
pages
with
HTML/CSS,
so
that
you
can
integrate
interactive
concepts.
Or
you
can
move
into
the
world
of
JQuery
to
learn
how
to
take
advantage
of
coding
libraries.
You
can
study
other
programming
languages
and
learn
their
unique
approaches
to
syntax
and
basic
concepts.
And
you
can
look
for
code
samples
online
and
make
modifications
to
them
to
customize
for
your
own
purposes.
Much
coding
is
done
by
modifying
items
that
already
exist,
so
you
are
now
equipped
to
tweak
away!
