We’ve entered a new era where an increasing number of devices with wildly divergent features— including phones, tablets, game consoles, and TVs—are connected to the Internet. As the way people access the Internet changes, there is an urgent need to rethink how we use the web to communicate.
This doesn't mean creating separate solutions for each device but rather preparing our existing content to meet an unpredictable future. Responsive web design means changing how we plan and evaluate performance. Dave Olsen and Doug Gapinski share and examine examples to help institutions rethink and adjust for the future-friendly web.

It took nearly four years, four proposed standards, the formation of a community group, and a funding campaign to pay for development, but we finally got what we've been clamoring for—a solution for responsive images baked into browsers. Now the hard work begins. Learn how to use the new responsive image specifications, which ones are appropriate for which images, and how to tackle the riddle of responsive image breakpoints.
Decentralized Social Networks - WebVisions 2009David Recordon
One theme of 2008 that has led into 2009 is the idea of social networks transforming from monolithic individual sites to peer sites that share people, content, information.
Technologies such as OpenID, OAuth, OpenSocial and Portable Contacts can be combined to help create this vision, though what will it actually look like when it works?
This talk will look at the philosophical changes being led by companies like MySpace, Google, Plaxo and Six Apart, their impact on social networks like Facebook which traditionally haven't embraced this vision, and how these technologies are being used to make this vision reality.

Responsive design, application development using APIs, and content strategy are hot topics in web development right now. These ideas belong to a bigger umbrella: ubiquitous computing and the role it plays in our lives. Traditional ideas of usability are undergoing dynamic changes as we move away from a desktop-first model of personal computing.
The internet refrigerator already exists and it's only the tip of the iceberg. In the near future, human-computer interactions will be thoroughly integrated into everyday objects and activities.
Postdesktop was a presentation to add clarity to responsive design as part of a larger context and to think about a shift that is changing the devices we use to access the web, the delivery method for education, the teaching and learning experience, and the whole of our lives.
Topics included a look at the role of pervasive computing:
• as it relates to responsive design
• in the classroom and textbooks
• in .edu marketing and utility on campuses

The era of desktop-first methodologies has ended. According to Google, 90% of consumers now use multiple screens to accomplish tasks on the web. As we enter the renaissance of the postdesktop web, we must be prepared to boldly alter how we prototype, design, and gather feedback from audiences. Two of the most important factors for current web usability are considering the screen (designing and testing for multiple displays) and context. This session will examine how screen and input types are changing:
• multi-screen design
• prototyping
• new input types
• usability testing
ISTE 2016 – Teaching Real Empathy – VirtuallyDoug Gapinski
Much has been written on the topic of using virtual reality (VR) to inspire empathy. But simply feeling empathy is not enough to make more compassionate and socially adept students. There is a very tangible opportunity for teachers to use VR as a tool to promote social emotional learning – and there are risks. Can we really use VR to teach students how to be better people? We’ll share case-studied of how VR’s helped with self-efficacy and conflict resolution, and discuss specific risks such as deepening isolation and the digital divide.

Measuring Web Performance - HighEdWeb EditionDave Olsen
Today, a Web page can be delivered to desktop computers, televisions, or handheld devices like tablets or phones. While a technique like responsive design helps ensure that our websites look good across that spectrum of devices we may forget that we need to make sure that our websites also perform well across that same spectrum. More and more of our users are shifting their Internet usage to these more varied platforms and connection speeds with some moving entirely to mobile Internet. In this session, we’ll look at the tools that can help you understand, measure and improve the performance of your websites and applications. The talk will also discuss how new server-side techniques might help us optimize our front-end performance. Finally, since the best way to test is to have devices in your hand, we’ll discuss some tips for getting your hands on them cheaply. This presentation builds upon Dave Olsen’s “Optimization for Mobile” chapter in Smashing Magazine’s “The Mobile Book.”

The Server Side of Responsive Web DesignDave Olsen
Responsive web design has become an important tool for front-end developers as they develop mobile-optimized solutions for clients. Browser-detection has been an important tool for server-side developers for the same task for much longer. Unfortunately, both techniques have certain limitations. Depending on project requirements, team make-up and deployment environment combining these two techniques might lead to intriguing solutions for your organization. We'll discuss when it makes sense to take this extra step and we'll explore techniques for combining server-side technology, like server-side feature-detection, with your responsive web designs to deliver the most flexible solutions possible.

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!

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

33. PLANNING FOR FUNDAMENTALS
A flexible The design has fluid layout elements
grid that change based on browser size.
Conditional The design uses one or more techniques
images and to scale images and media so that the
other media design performs well across devices.
Media Conditional code that changes items on a
queries page based on device detection or
browser width.
34. PLANNING FOR ADVANCED FUNDAMENTALS
Advanced A basic fluid grid is the priority; but to be fully
elements responsive we must often cover slideshows,
tables, tabs, multi-column type, custom
widgets, forms, and more.
Touch Touch input is a critical development
input component as we move away from a mouse-
first model of human-computer interaction
RESS and Heavy lifting for user agent detection and
server-side conditional media deployment is done by the
conditionals server, not the device.
36. Planning: full wireframes for each breakpoint
Pros: Cons
• most thorough method • takes the longest
• no page element left unexplored • in some cases, wireframes don’t
• may be the best solution for retrofitting preclude the group changing their mind
because it provides the most detail later
• with a slow-decision group, can bog
down length of process
37. Planning: responsive prototypes
Pros: Cons:
• gets specific about repositioning and • requires someone on the team have
content without promising every detail front-end skills
• one asset per template instead of three • may not preclude the need for more
or four detailed wireframes

58. 1. REDUCING ASSET SIZE
HTML & CSS Use mod_gzip or mod_deflate to make sure text-based
compression assets are compressed for transfer.
Image Use a service like kraken.io to optimize images.
compression Also use CSS sprites as appropriate.
Try to avoid When possible, think about avoiding images.
images Implement with CSS or SVG.
Minification Use a minifying service to make sure text-based assets
are as small as possible. If using PHP use Minify.
If using a Mac check out CodeKit.
MicroJS or, Avoid using bulky frameworks if you’re using them for
even better, simple tasks like selectors. Try microjs.com to find
Vanilla JS libraries that may be smaller & more suitable.
JavaScript also blocks the rendering of the page.
59. 2. REDUCING REQUESTS
Browser The simplest way to reduce requests is to make sure the
cache browser doesn’t need to make them. Make sure assets
are bring cached on the browser.
Concatenate Combine similar files together in one or multiple larger
JS & CSS files to reduce requests. May harm performance too.
localStorage Google & Bing use HTML5‘s localStorage as an
enhancement to the browser cache. Check out basket.js.
Avoid AppCache like the plague!
data: URI For small images & fonts try embedding them in your
CSS file by using the data: URI.
Conditional Use a resource loader like Modernizr.load to
loading conditionally include JavaScript & CSS files.
60. 3. SPEEDING-UP PAGE RENDER
Avoid DOM By using JS to modify the DOM you can cause
reflows & unnecessary reflows & repaints of your browser. They
repaints slow down page render time as well as burn battery.
Defer Use HTML5’s script defer & async attributes to delay
loading of downloading files. Can also insert script elements into
JavaScript the DOM using the onLoad event.
Lazy load Comment out JavaScript that isn’t required at page load.
JavaScript Uncomment & eval() when required.
Touch beats While not directly related to page render, by making
onClick sure your links use a Touch event rather than an onClick
event user interactions will speed up by 300ms.
Avoid SM Try using simple links to services rather than utilizing the
widgets JavaScript widgets. They’re performance hogs.
