The document discusses the differences between digital natives and digital immigrants. Digital natives have grown up with technology and are comfortable receiving information quickly in a digital environment, while digital immigrants have had to adapt to new technologies later in life. It also discusses how Web 2.0 is more collaborative and user-driven than Web 1.0, allowing users to create and share content across different platforms. Finally, it suggests ways libraries can embrace Web 2.0 technologies like social networking, blogs, and user-generated content to engage patrons.
The unceasing Internet evolution is changing many aspects of our daily life, both personally and professionally. Internet is an extension of our potential, we are experiencing this transformation day by day. In particular, there are two main areas where this change is more tangible: communication and knowledge.
We now communicate in a very different way from how we did it years ago. Today chat, Skype and video conferencing seem to be routine; we take for granted the ability to communicate for free with everyone we want, anywhere in the world, relying on network services. We also think and learn in different ways from how we did it time ago. When something is unknown to us, we look for it on the Internet: researches on Google and Wikipedia are part of our typical day, to imagine a world without the Internet appears to be pretty hard.
Based on real cases and tracking the main web services trends, this presentation summarizes the impact that Internet evolution had, has and will have on us and in particular on the way we learn and think.

How Open Source Cloud Platforms Can Solve Big Data Needs in a Location-Aware,...Bret Piatt
The explosion of data generated by location-based and real-time applications has created new problems for application developers. Data has been fragmented in silos, stored and duplicated across multiple locations, which is difficult to access, ineffective and expensive. There is a large opportunity to harness this distributed data by building a common storage platform with shared access and costs. In this session, Bret Piatt will lay out a vision of common storage platform, including how the cloud, specifically an open cloud framework, is the best place to bring this data together. He will also discuss the value and risk to application developers, real-world use cases and even societal implications on how we are able to gather, process and access data across multiple locations in real-time.

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.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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.
