In workshop we coded a kata in Java, starting from a given scaffold, so we could focus on the fundamental steps of TDD. We learned how to practice our TDD skills; how to drive the code and design decisions with tests; how to refactor the code with no fear; how to keep control of design. Lab was organized in 4 sessions of 25 minutes: an intro to TDD, then 2 sessions of coding and the final retrospective for share your feedback.
This document lists contact information for over 50 legal clinics and centres across Western Australia that provide free or low-cost legal advice.

The Legal Services Act 2007 established new regulatory bodies to reform legal services regulation in England and Wales. The Act created the Legal Services Board as the oversight regulator and the Office for Legal Complaints as an independent complaints body. It also allows for Alternative Business Structures that permit different types of legal and non-legal professionals to work together. Implementation of the new framework is ongoing, with the Legal Services Board becoming fully operational in early 2010 and the Office for Legal Complaints in late 2010.
This document discusses open government data and the benefits of making public sector information freely available in open formats. It notes that citizens often have difficulty finding government information through traditional channels. Making data openly available in raw formats allows it to be reused and analyzed in different ways, fueling innovation. Open data can improve transparency and accountability while also enabling new applications and insights through data integration and multiple perspectives. The document advocates for identifying, representing, and exposing government-controlled data to the wider world using standards like XML, RDFa, and Linked Data.
The document discusses the impact and future opportunities of social computing. It argues that social computing is augmenting human capacity rather than substituting humans, as shown by applications like Flickr and Delicious that enhance collaboration and thinking. The document outlines how social computing is permeating different areas like science (through blogs and open access journals), government (through open innovation), and enterprises (through accessing micro-expertise). It predicts future developments like effortless sharing, persuasive games and technologies, and making sense of big data. However, it notes that employees, researchers and citizens adopt social software slowly and that Europe needs to remove barriers and develop skills to better grasp opportunities in social computing.

The document discusses the importance of synthesizing knowledge as information doubles every few years. It also emphasizes stimulating ideas, seeing other perspectives, developing empathy, and justifying one's own beliefs in social studies. Finally, it notes the importance of open discussion and willingness to modify conclusions in social studies exchanges between teachers and students.
Making eu innovation policies fit for the web defosimod
This document discusses making EU innovation policies better suited for web-based innovation. It argues that current policies, like the Framework Programme, were designed for 20th century capital-intensive R&D and do not attract innovative SMEs or translate research to marketable products. "Light and fast" funding that is open, bottom-up, and rewards achievement rather than paperwork could help. The document examines cases like inducement prizes in the US and Europe that use these principles successfully. It concludes that options like open funding, prizes, and procurement of innovation should be adopted to address gaps and make EU policy fit for web-based innovation challenges.

It argues that the government has been too slow to make use of information to increase transparency and give citizens more power over public services. It outlines four key themes of open discussion, feedback, information, and innovation and argues that government should join online conversations, publish more data, and experiment with new approaches to better engage with citizens.
This document provides an overview of ADA requirements for small businesses that serve the public. It notes that existing facilities built before 1993 have less strict requirements than new construction. For existing facilities, businesses must remove architectural barriers to access when it is "readily achievable" by prioritizing common areas and making changes like accessible parking, entrances, doors, aisles, and service counters. The ADA information line can answer questions about compliance. Tax credits are available to offset costs of improving accessibility.
This document discusses Policy Making 2.0, a new approach to policy making that incorporates social media and crowdsourcing. It covers the full policy cycle from drafting to discussion to implementation. The key aspects of Policy Making 2.0 are that anyone can ask questions and discuss draft policies online, ideas are allowed to emerge from many participants, and civil servants participate in the online discussions.

1. Social computing (SC) such as social networks, blogs, and wikis have seen explosive growth and now over 50% of internet users engage with these technologies.
2. SC is having strong economic, political, cultural, social and everyday life impacts and is important for research and policy to understand. Europe risks falling behind as most major SC companies are based in the US.
3. Key impacts of SC include economic growth in new industries but also disruption to traditional media; socially it enhances social networks and participation but also enables new risks around privacy, addiction and anti-social behavior.
