Linux, a free and open-source operating system, runs more than 100 million websites and it is getting more and more popular running laptop/desktop computers. Windows and even Macintosh users are usually intimidated by Linux because they think that you must be a computer scientist or hacker to install and use it proficiently. This is not true anymore! In this session, Chad Mairn will provide 10 tips to help Linux newbies and/or users thinking of making the switch to become more confident running Linux on their computers.
This presentation come with short and cover all important things of the topic. Here you can find differences, advantages and features of popular browsers.
Web application development - The past, the present, the futureJuho Vepsäläinen
In this brief lecture, I take a look at the history of web application development to understand where we are coming, what's the current state, and where we are heading. By understanding the past constraints, also current struggles and the need for new solutions makes sense.

Solution
Web is basically a system of Internet servers that support formatted documents. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is used to format them. It consists of videos,audio and graphics.
We can access or browse the web pages with the help of web browsers.
Web browsers examples: Mozilla, chrome
Evolution of web :
On the thirtieth of April 1993 The European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN) released the source code of WorldWideWeb into the public domain, so anyone could use or build upon the software without charge.
Marc Andreessen left NCSA and together with Jim Clark founded Mosaic Communications, later renamed to Netscape Communications Corporation, and started work on what was to become Netscape Navigator.
Version 1.0 of the software was released in December 1994.
In August 1995 Spyglass Inc. licensed their Mosaic technology to Microsoft to form the basis of Internet Explorer and the version 1.0 of internet explorer was released.
Protocals:
TCP/IP : The Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) was introduced as the standard networking protocol on the ARPANET in 1982.
Http : Development of HTTP was initiated by Tim Berners-Lee at CERN in 1989. The first definition of HTTP/1.1 occurred in RFC 2068 in 1997.Http/2 was standardized into 2015.

The long, slow, fictional death of the PCJeffJedras
In 1997, during my second year of university, I bought my first personal computer, or PC. A sleek, black Compaq Presario with a handy internal 14.4 modem. While I enjoying playing many hours of Civ II between writing the odd term paper, little did I know the PC had actually died years earlier.
And now, 16 years later, the PC is still dying. Or dead. According to some, anyway. So pretend the PC you’re probably reading this on is a mirage as we share decades of so-called experts predicting its demise.
Every day, throughout the United States, Canadians pass unnoticed. Identical to Americans, with the possible exception of excessive politeness and a fondness for hockey, Canadians can be found everywhere. Including some of North America’s largest technology companies.
While our infiltration of Hollywood has been deeper, Canadians have risen to senior and high profile positions with key U.S. technology. Here are five Canucks in IT. Did you know they were Canadian?
Buzzwords are the scourge of the technology industry. Those words that we hear everywhere, that everyone tries to use to pitch whatever they’re selling, and that most people aren’t really sure what they mean.
Every year the Global Language Monitor releases its list of the top tech buzzwords of the year, and the 2013 list is now out. Will the synergies scale vertically to the cloud? Let’s find out.
From phone phreaking with cereal box whistles to make free long distance phone calls to stealing credit card numbers and making millions in fraudulent purchases, hacking has certainly come a long way – both in technology and in motive.
This week we look at some of history’s most notorious hackers, and the fate they met when the law caught up with their illegal activities.
As PT Barnum said, there’s a sucker born every minute.
Except he didn’t actually say that; a rival circus promoter named Dan Hannum did. Or maybe he didn’t; the historical record is unclear. It is, though, an early example of a hoax, and a fitting quote to kick off our look at the top social media hoaxes.
These hoaxes seem to spread like wildfire in the social media age. Did you fall for them?
Some say the PC is dying and the laptop is a thing of the past, as smartphones and tablets rapidly become our digital windows to the world.
Meanwhile, others are busy designing the laptop of the future, leveraging the latest advances flexible displays and industrial design.
Here’s a look at five concepts that offer a glimpse of what could be tomorrow’s laptop.
As the saying goes, pobody's nerfect. And that was certainly the case for the technology industry in 2012, when some otherwise dynamic companies and visionary executives suffered some inexplicable lapses in judgement, from the unwise to the just plain unlucky.
While we resolve to get 2013 started off on the right foot, let's look back at a fee technology blunders from 2012 that all involved would like to get back.
Have a serious love of technology, and what to share that love with the world through the naming of your child? We’ve got five actual names that tech-loving parents have chosen for their offspring, and a few more subtle suggestions.
But remember, technology changes fast. Make sure baby Phonograph will stand the test of time…
Before a new product comes to market, countless hours and sometimes millions of dollars are spent creating a marketing plan. And among the most important parts of that process? Picking a name.
It should be simple. Descriptive. Catchy. Memorable. Unique. A good technology product name should be many things. Sometimes the vendors get it right.
And sometimes, well, sometimes we get the unfortunate product names in this slideshow.

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.
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!

Six browsers that changed the world (wide web)
1. Six browsers that changed the
world (wide web)
The web browser has become our window into the World Wide Web. Here are five
web browsers that change the way we access the information superhighway.
By Jeff Jedras

2. WorldWideWeb (Nexus)
Later renamed Nexus to avoid confusion, WorldWideWeb was the first web
browser and editor. It was written by Internet pioneer Tim Breners-Lee at CERN in
1990. Other proposed names? The Mine of Information and The Information
Mesh.
3. Mosaic
Developed by the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in 1993,
Mosaic brought the web out of university labs to the wider nerdy masses. The first
truly graphical browser, it ran on Windows, as well as Unix, Amiga and Macintosh.
4. Netscape Navigator
Launched in 1994, Netscape was the dominant web browser of the mid to late-
1990s. While Microsoft would muscle it out of the market with Internet Explorer
using its Windows dominance, its codebase helped to birth Mozilla Firefox.
5. Microsoft Internet Explorer
While Microsoft first launched Internet Explorer in 1995, it was IE 3.0 in 1996 that
arguably cemented the browser’s dominance, adding support for CSS, ActiveX,
Java applets and inline media. At its peak in 2003, IE had 95 per cent of the
browsing market.
6. Mozilla Firefox
For those using IE only out of necessity after the death of Netscape, the launch of
Firefox by Mozilla in 2002 was a revelation. It was more lightweight, had cool
features like integrated search and tabbed browsing, and wasn’t foisted on us by
Redmond.
7. Google Chrome
And when Firefox became too bloated and clunky for some, in 2008 Google gave us
Chrome. It’s minimalist, it’s smooth, and we can take our bookmarks with us from
computer to computer. They really should have called it Platinum.
