This document discusses Easyrec, an open source recommender engine that provides recommendations based on user actions like views, purchases, and ratings of products. It has an API that allows integrating recommendations into a website by passing a user ID and token. The API can take in user data and return recommendations based on what other similar users viewed, purchased, or rated highly. While Easyrec is easy to use, it has limitations in flexibility and only supports collaborative filtering recommendations.
Have you ever wished that you had a worked example of how to test a REST API?
Not just automate the API, but how to interact with it with command line tools, and GUI tools to support your manual interactive testing. And then take your testing forward into automating the API?
That's what this book provides.
Read the 74 page sample and find out more information on the book page.
https://www.compendiumdev.co.uk/page/tracksrestapibook
The full book has over 200 pages of actual hands on case study information that can improve your testing and automating of REST API based applications.
SenchaCon 2016: Oracle Forms Modernisation - Owen PaganSencha
Is your organization stuck on Oracle Forms technology? The time and cost of migration is only part of the risk associated with converting old logic, then you have to think about UI/UX and mobile platforms. In this session, you'll learn how 4Morphis automatically converts Oracle Forms into Ext JS based web and mobile applications, how the architecture can be maintained into the future, and how to approach projects so you can rapidly deliver value to your organization and users.
SenchaCon 2016: Being Productive with the New Sencha Fiddle - Mitchell Simoens Sencha
Would you like to share code or quickly test some code? Before Sencha Fiddle, there was no good way to quickly run Ext JS code. Since its launch, Sencha Fiddle has changed the way we save code in the cloud and share it. In this session, you'll learn what Fiddle is, its new features, and how you can use it to be more productive.

Whether you want to simply adjust your editor's syntax-highlighting or you want to write a small domain-specific language to make certain tasks easier -- a knowledge of how compilers work is important. In this talk, I'll go over basic compiler knowledge and then talk more specifically about JavaScript transpilers and how they're changing the world of web development.

Building Beautiful REST APIs with ASP.NET CoreStormpath
Join Stormpath .NET Developer Evangelist, Nate Barbettini, to learn best practices for designing your REST API in ASP.NET Core. Nate will explain how to build HATEOS-compliant JSON APIs while supporting security best practices and even improving performance and scale.
Topics Covered:
What is REST and HATEOS?
How to think about RESTful APIs
How to model hypermedia in C#
Building JSON APIs in ASP.NET Core
In this session, we will discuss the Great Simplification Architecture, instead of creating abstract towers of babel, we will see how we can create agile, maintainable and easy to work with architectures and systems that allow you to just go in and start working, rather than spend a lot of time an effort hammering everything in sight, looking for the nail that the architecture diagram's page 239 says must be there.

While everyone in the software industry knows what open source is and have benefited from some of the successful open source projects out there, for example, Java, Linux, JavaScript, and Docker, there is still lack of understanding beyond the fact that open source software is publicly available and free. This chat will provide a concise guide based on personal experience and available documentation to learn what open source is all about, why it is good for business, business models and recommendations to join the open source movement.

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.

From Daily Decisions to Bottom Line: Connecting Product Work to Revenue by VP...
Rest api to integrate with your site
1. Motivation
• Business: Selling products, movies, papers
• Research: Baseline for improvements.
• Personal uses:
• Recommend a song from your own music library
2. Input and Outputs
• Two relations: User and Products
• Input: User actions
• Buy
• View
• Rate
• Can there be any other actions?
• Output: Product suggestions
• Other users also viewed/bought/rated good.
• What are the best products for this user?
• Search engine analogy.
4. Easyrec: Open Source Recommender Engine
• http://www.easyrec.org/
• Can be used in two ways:
• Download a copy and run in localhost.
• Use the easyrec server.
• Use the REST API to integrate with your site.
• API pros and cons:
• Don’t need to bother about computation power.
• Very easy for prototyping.
• Data privacy (if you are running on easyrec server).
• Not flexible enough for fine grained customization.
5. API: Getting Started
• Create an user account, get a token.
• Create a “tenant id”: url for your website/your home
computer/anything.
• “tenant-id” and token combined work as a primary key.
• Any call to the easyrec must contain these two parameters.
6. API: Input Your Data
• Input options:
• View: The user has viewed this item.
• Buy: The user has bought this item.
• Rate: The user has rated this item.
• You can also define your own “action”
• Sample API calls:
• http://easyrec.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php?title=REST_API_v0.98
7. API: Get Recommendations
• Other users also viewed:
• Parameter: item id.
• Other users also bought:
• Parameter: item id.
• Items rated good by other users:
• Parameter: item id.
• Users who bought this item rated these items good.
• Recommendations for user:
• Parameter: user id.
8. API: Rules, Clustering and Community Ranking
• Rules:
• You can write your own rules which will associate two items (users who rated
item A high, also bought item B).
• Rules can not be written between an user and an item.
• Clustering:
• You can create clusters of items (laptop/books/songs)
• You can get all items in a cluster.
• Community ranking:
• Items liked by/bought by/ rated by most users.
9. Conclusion
• An open source recommender system which can be readily deployed
in a small e-commerce site.
• Not much flexible:
• You might want to recommend items in a cluster based on user history on
that cluster.
• You want to develop a separate ranking function.
• Only collaborative filtering: no content based recommendation.
• Real sites have used this: http://www.flimmit.com. (See a
recommendation here. )
