An algorithm must be precise, unambiguous, and end with the correct solution in all cases. Pseudocode uses a structured English description to outline the steps of an algorithm or computer program. It helps designers and programmers develop code by providing a detailed template. Coding conventions establish guidelines for writing readable code through standards for indentation, comments, naming, and other aspects of programming. Following conventions helps programmers understand new code quickly and maintain software efficiently.
This document outlines an agenda for a talk on 30 LotusScript tips. It begins with an introduction that explains the structure of the talk and why it will cover 30 tips. The agenda is then broken into sections on fundamental tips ("Nursery Slopes"), less well known everyday tips, and more advanced tips to provoke thought. Each section provides 10 tips on topics like using Option Declare, templates and versions, error handling, classes, and performance coding. The document aims to share a variety of LotusScript best practices and techniques.

Techniques for Reviewing a User InterfaceRhonda Bracey
Rhonda Bracey's presentation from the WritersUA 2008 Conference (Portland, OR)
****************
"Can you just look over these new screens for us? Oh, and can you check the error messages too? It won't take long!" If you've been asked to review a web or standalone application's user interface but don't know what to look for other than checking the text, then this session is for you. As technical communicators, we are often in a position to identify usability problems related to the logical flow, layout, and structure of the interface; inconsistencies in the design; non-compliance with standards and guidelines; ambiguous wording on labels, error messages, dialogs, and onscreen user assistance; performance issues; functional errors; and the like. Rhonda shares practical checklists of things to look for when reviewing an interface, as well as various tools that can assist you.
— YOU WILL LEARN —
* What to look for when checking an application's user interface, including overall design, textual and visual elements, user actions and interactions, navigational links, and the '-ilities': accessibility, readability, usability.
* About some tools that can help automate parts of the review process.

This document discusses state management patterns like Flux, Redux, and MobX and compares them to alternatives like CQRS, hexagonal architecture, and micro-frontends. It analyzes the tradeoffs of different approaches and emphasizes performing requirements analysis and designing architecture based on needs. While patterns like Redux provide benefits like predictability and debuggability, they can also increase complexity, so the document cautions against over-engineering. It concludes that any decision involves tradeoffs and should have a clear reason based on requirements and future vision.
Eliminating End Game - How to be a hero and streamline documentation productionWebWorks
The document discusses strategies for eliminating the "end game" process of publishing documents. It defines the end game as the steps needed to create final output formats like HTML and PDF.

Plain language writing: Tips for delivering complex messages to a general aud...Rhonda Bracey
Take a look at your latest insurance policy—you should easily be able to find and understand what you can and can’t claim. No longer are these documents full of gobbledygook, tiny print, and lists of exclusions that you need a legal degree to understand.
And it’s not just insurance companies. Pharmaceutical companies (check the leaflet inside a recent prescription medicine), some government departments, utility companies, and others (even lawyers) are changing the language they use when communicating with their customers to ‘plain language’.
In this session, I’ll cover the main guidelines for writing in plain language, the benefits to your organisation and your customers, and share lots of examples and tips for making your messages clear.

Measures in SQL (SIGMOD 2024, Santiago, Chile)Julian Hyde
SQL has attained widespread adoption, but Business Intelligence tools still use their own higher level languages based upon a multidimensional paradigm. Composable calculations are what is missing from SQL, and we propose a new kind of column, called a measure, that attaches a calculation to a table. Like regular tables, tables with measures are composable and closed when used in queries.
SQL-with-measures has the power, conciseness and reusability of multidimensional languages but retains SQL semantics. Measure invocations can be expanded in place to simple, clear SQL.
To define the evaluation semantics for measures, we introduce context-sensitive expressions (a way to evaluate multidimensional expressions that is consistent with existing SQL semantics), a concept called evaluation context, and several operations for setting and modifying the evaluation context.
