We've all been there: lookin' a thousands line spaghetti code of CSS, scrolling up and down, trying to find all the declarations, which override each other here and there, and almost cry when we find out that changing one thing affects a lot more page elements than we expected. (In the meantime we mumble some angry words about the previous developer of the file and sometimes we realize that we are talking about ourselves…)

Overview
Some people consider responsive design to be cross-platform, and responsive design to be resizing for containers. However, this misses the distinction of fluid design & often leads to slow and bad programmatic implementations. This talk will cover the distinction and provide pointers on how to implement responsive apps that are also performant.
Attendees should understand a differing view on how to build cross-platform apps, and the difference between fluid & responsive design.
Target Audience
Programmers, designers & cssers who think a single page with lots of media queries is a good idea.
Five Things Audience Members Will Learn
What is fluid design?
The difference between responsive & fluid design
Why are responsive designs often slow?
How to implement responsive designs that are performant

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.
Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

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!

2. Table of Contents
1. From Image to XHTML+CSS: Step by Step
2. Floating DIVs and DIVs Behaving Like Tables
3. Vertical Alignment of DIVs
4. Centering Site Contents
5. Web Site with Frames
6. Web Site with Tables
7. Web Site with DIVs
8. Slice and Dice: Showcases
2
3. From Image to XHTML+CSS
Creating Web Sites Step by Step
4. From Image to XHTML+CSS
Steps for converting a Web site image to
XHTML + CSS ( + JavaScript )
1. Decide on the layout type
Fixed width – what resolution (800, 1024, …)?
Fluid width – which parts will resize?
2. Identify site sections
Header, main, footer, columns, navigation, etc.
3. Decide on the layout model
DIVs vs. tables (any good reason to use tables?)
4
5. From Image to XHTML+CSS (2)
Steps for converting a Web site image to
XHTML + CSS ( + JavaScript )
1. Distinguish between content and style
Text vs. images – which belongs to the content
and which is part of the styling?
2. Create the page layout
Create the layout DIVs and define their CSS
3. Create the contents of each section
4. Test the site in different Web browsers
5
6. Fixed vs. Fluid Layout
Page layout can be fixed or fluid
Fixed width
Typical Web users use at least 1024 x 768
resolution 900px-1000px page width is OK
Mobile devices have smaller screen
Fluid width
Ensure the main page content resizes correctly
Beware of very large screens (e.g. 1920 x 1200)
Fix the min-width for the main <div>
6
7. Identifying Site Sections
Typical Web sites consist of header, main
section and footer
The main content usually has some main
section, sidebars or navigation controls
The main section could be split in columns
Header
Left Main Section Right
Side Bar Columns Columns Columns Side Bar
Footer
7
8. Frames vs. Table vs. DIVs?
Site layout with frames is old-fashioned
Using tables for columned design is incorrect!
Tables are considered SEO unfriendly
The other option is to use <div> tags
To place them in columns they must be floating
When they are floating, you can fix their width, but
height is determined by their content (or is fixed)
When height is determined by content, background
may not be applied properly
Footer must also be floating with clear:left
8
9. Floating DIVs
Floating DIVs are not part of their parent DIV
Their height is the height of their content
The parent container's height can be less
Floating- Non-floating Floating-
left <div> <div> right <div>
The container <div> has height
based on its non-floating
content 9
13. Vertical Alignment of DIV
Aligning a DIV vertically is a complex task
You need three nested <div> elements:
#container { display: table; height: 400px; }
#row { display: table-row; }
#cell { display: table-cell; vertical-align: middle; }
<div id="container">
<div id="row">
<div id="cell">Vertically Centered</div>
</div>
</div> XHTML DOCTYPE is requred, especially for
IE!
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/
xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
13
15. Distinguish between
Content and Style
Separating content from presentation
The HTML content is the essential information
published in the Web page, e.g. text + images
The presentation is the layout and styles used
to format the content or decorate it
The content should live in the HTML
The presentation should live in the CSS
When the CSS is disabled, the site should look
like an article with titles, lists and paragraphs
15
16. GIF, JPEG or PNG?
GIF, JPEG and PNG are the three most
common image formats in the Web
JPEG is used for large images, e.g. photos
GIF and PNG support transparency
Used for bullets, icons and small images
Transparent PNG not supported by old browsers
PNG files are larger than GIF
GIF supports less colors than PNG
GIF supports animation
16
17. Centering a Fixed-Width Site
Several ways to center the content of the site:
Placing it in <center> tag – deprecated
Using CSS text-align:center
Will affect all child nodes too
Using CSS margin:0 auto
The width of the content is fixed
The left and right margins are set to automatic
width: 900px;
margin: 20px auto;
17
18. Centering Site Contents – Example
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #CCCCCC; }
#site-contents {
width: 940px; margin: 20px auto; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="site-contents">
<h1>Welcome to our Web site!</h1>
...
</div>
</body>
</html>
18
20. Web Site Based on Frames
Web sites based on frames
Easy-to-develop
Works for small and simple Web sites
Considered old-fashioned, not recommended!
<frameset rows="85,*" cols="*" frameborder="no" border="0"
framespacing="0">
<frame src="header.html" scrolling="no" noresize="yes" />
<frameset cols="126,*" frameborder="no" border="0"
framespacing="0">
<frame src="left.html" name="leftFrame" scrolling="no"
noresize="yes" />
<frame src="welcome.html" name="mainFrame" />
</frameset>
</frameset>
20
22. Web Site Based on Tables
Web sites based on tables
Easy to layout the page elements
Semantically incorrect, not recommended!
<table class="siteTable">
<tr class="headerRow">
<td class="logoCell">Logo</td>
<td class="headerCell">Header Text</td>
</tr>
<tr valign="top">
<td class="menuCell">Menu</td>
<td class="mainContentCell">Main Content</td>
</tr>
<tr class="footerRow"><td colspan="2">Footer</td></tr>
</table>
22
24. Web Site Based on DIVs
Web sites based on DIVs
The best, semantically correct approach
Sometimes is hard to implement
<div id="header">
<div id="headerLogo">Logo</div>
<div id="headerText">Header</div>
</div>
<div id="container">
<div id="leftSidebar">Menu</div>
<div id="mainContent">Main Content</div>
</div>
<div id="footer">Footer</div>
24
27. Slice and Dice Showcase
We should convert the following image to
XHTML+CSS:
27
28. Layout and Style
Fixed width or fluid width?
Fixed width will work well
Need to center the content and use some
background to fill the rest of the page
Frames, tables or DIVs?
DIVs with table layout will work best
28
29. Step 1 – Determine the Pieces
First step is to determine the parts of the
design
29
30. Step 1 – Determine the Pieces (2)
This is the logo – the site header - div
should be image tag This can be
background image
30
31. Step 1 – Determine the Pieces (3)
3 columns design
Best way is – table, one row, three cells
Menu cell Body cell Right cell
31
32. Step 1 – Determine the Pieces (4)
Footer – div, center the text with CSS
32
33. Step 1 – Determine the Pieces (5)
DIV with links (A tags)
Article headings
(H1 and H2 tags)
Unordered lists, strong
tags, links
two separate lists in table or two
floating divs
33
34. Step 2 – Which Parts are Image
and Which HTML?
Use HTML when possible to avoid images
Images are slower to download and render
Browsers do not support such
font and effects so we have to
place this text using image
This bullets can be either CSS background
image or default list bullet
All elements backgrounds
and borders are solid so we
can use css colors instead of
images
34
35. Step 3 – The Small Details
Look for the small details and decide if they
should be in CSS, HTML or image
Example: this images have
border that should be defined
in the CSS, not part of the
image
35
37. Case Study: Text or Image
Three ways to create the top part:
Use text over background image, absolute
positioned DIVs
Use table, slice the image to fit the needed rows
and columns
Leave the text in the image
37
38. Case Study:
Two Backgrounds
To achieve the underline and the leaf image we can
use only CSS. We need two tags:
Outer tag has the leaf as background image, padding-
left so the inner doesn’t cover it
Inner tag has the underline as background image,
repeat-x, positioned in the bottom
Note: the underline background image is 1px wide to
save bandwidth!
38
39. Case Study:
Rounded Corners
Rounded border corners are supported by CSS3
Not yet supported by most browsers
But soon will be
We can create them with multiple images in table
Too much code
39
