WordPress Theme Development Workflow with Node.js, Ruby, Sass, Bower and Grunt
Brajeshwar believes that if he needs to get things done, it should be done the right and the better way. It might take extra time in the beginning, but the process should be repeatable and eventually pave way for future enhancements.
He wants to apply the same idea to WordPress Theme design and development too. He will talk about how the life of a designer or a developer can be made easier by using tools such as NodeJS, Ruby, Sass and Grunt to automate the workflow. This will help designers or developers to focus on producing beautiful, usable and well marked-up WordPress Themes.

How to develop a CSS Framework
The document discusses steps for developing a CSS framework, including defining layout rules, framework files, resets, grids and units, forms, tables, and generic classes. The framework is designed to be easily reusable, have a short source code, increase productivity, and decrease bugs. Key steps involve defining the layout, grids and units, resets, typography, forms and tables, and generic classes through separate CSS files.
Making Your Own CSS Framework
The document discusses making your own CSS framework to manage multiple websites with limited resources. It recommends starting with a CSS reset, basic structural elements, and columns for layout. Future-proof the framework to match HTML5. Keep colors, images, and styling out of the framework. Build reusable widgets and allow for design freedom and individuality across sites. The initial version may be too constricting without flexibility. Add optional "flare" like boxes and slideshows once the basics are established. The framework should be easily upgradable and accessible across managed sites.
Designing an Enterprise CSS Framework is Hard, Stephanie Rewis
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
It seems that not a week goes by without a shiny new framework of some type — be it CSS or JS. But no matter how awesome they are, each have shortcomings and idiosyncrasies that invariably make you ask, 'Why?' Now imagine someone gave you the ability to start from scratch to create your own framework. No strings. No preconceptions — well, except that it has to be enterprise scale, platform agnostic, and work in a whole host of disparate situations. In this session, Stephanie will talk about some of the challenges, hurdles, tradeoffs, and unique decisions Salesforce UX made on the way to building an enterprise framework.
Grid system introduction
The document discusses grid systems in web design. It explains that grid systems use ratios and measurements to construct layouts with fixed or flexible widths. For fixed grids, the canvas size is based on screen resolution, while flexible grids scale to browser windows. The document also describes creating grids in Photoshop, using background images for alignment, and the 960 Grid System CSS framework which enables rapid prototyping with 12 or 16 column grids within a 960px container.

An Introduction to CSS Frameworks
The document discusses CSS frameworks, which aim to abstract routine CSS tasks into reusable modules. It covers the frustrations of CSS development like lack of code reuse. Popular frameworks like Blueprint, 960gs and CSS Scaffold are examined. Frameworks provide advantages like increased productivity but also have disadvantages like creating bloated code and design restrictions. In summary, frameworks can help speed up development and improve designs but are not perfect solutions and building your own comes with further complications.
CSS Frameworks: Faster Layout, Consistent Results
CSS frameworks allow developers to quickly prototype table-less CSS layouts using pre-made solutions to common problems. This presentation reviews some of the major CSS frameworks and how they can be used to save time and effort in the website development workflow. The discussion will touch on grid design with 960gs, table-less forms with Formy and resetting browser default CSS with YUI, among other topics.
Blueprint css framework
This document discusses CSS frameworks and introduces the Blueprint CSS framework. CSS frameworks provide predefined code to simplify and speed up website development. Blueprint is an optimal framework for browser compatibility and speedy development. It contains useful features like a grid system and printing stylesheets. While the source code can be bloated and lack freedom, Blueprint is a clean, well-structured framework used by many sites. A generator tool allows customizing Blueprint's grid columns.
CSS Frameworks
This document discusses CSS frameworks and their benefits. It explains that CSS frameworks provide resets to normalize browser defaults, base stylesheets for typography, and grid systems for layouts. Frameworks help eliminate cross-browser issues, provide reusable and flexible designs, and improve efficiency. Popular frameworks include 960gs, Blueprint, CSScaffold, and YUI, each with their own features like grids builders, source order independence, and browser support. The document advocates using a framework to improve the development process.
Framework
The document discusses CSS frameworks and their advantages and criticisms. It explains that CSS frameworks provide pre-prepared libraries that allow for easier and more standardized styling of web pages. They package ready-made design options to speed up development. Some key advantages are tableless web design, faster development, and cross-browser compatibility. However, frameworks can also lack flexibility outside their limitations and result in bloated source code from multiple files.

LibX 2.0
Since its inception, the LibX browser plugin has been adopted by over 500 libraries to provide access to their services at the user's point of need. We are now developing LibX 2.0, a community platform that allows anybody to create, share, and deploy library services in a distributed and decentralized fashion. We'll describe the technology used in LibX 2.0, with a particular emphasis on the developer API and the deployment infrastructure facilitating this community engagement. -- Godmar Back, Virginia Tech
djatoka for djummies
Djatoka is an open source JPEG 2000 image server that allows for fast extraction of regions of interest and quality layers from JPEG 2000 files. It uses a tile caching system to improve performance. URIs can be used to access specific regions, rotations, levels and formats of an image. While open source, it relies on the proprietary Kakadu library for JPEG 2000 encoding and decoding. Installation and setup are straightforward but it requires Tomcat 5.5 or higher to run.
LuSql: (Quickly and easily) Getting your data from your DBMS into Lucene
Need to move your data from your DBMS to Lucene? The recently released LuSql allows you to do this in a single line. LuSql is a high performance, low use barrier application for getting DBMS data into Lucene. This presentation will introduce LuSql, and give a brief tutorial on simple to crazy complicated use cases, including per document sub-queries and out-of-band document transformations. -- Glen Newton, CISTI, National Research Council
Why libraries should embrace Linked Data
The promise of Linked Data is not that it is another way of aggregating data. For too long have library data been trapped within data-silos only accessible through obscure protocols. Why is access to library data still an issue? Letting everyone access and link to library data lets anyone build the next killer app. LIBRIS, the Swedish Union Catalogue is, since the beginning of this year, available as Linked Data. We discuss how and why. -- Martin Malmsten & Anders Söderbäck, National Library of Sweden
RESTafarian-ism at the NLA
This document discusses REST (Representational State Transfer) as an alternative to SOAP for building web services. It outlines some benefits of REST such as being simple and language neutral. It then provides examples of how REST has been used at the National Library of Australia including for audio delivery services, a wiki, and identity and copyright services. It concludes by inviting questions about REST and its use.
Like a can opener for your data silo: simple access through AtomPub and Jangle
Jangle is an open specification to apply the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub) to library systems and data. It provides a simple RESTful interface that can be accessed with common Atom Syndication and AtomPub clients making it easier to integrate library data into other applications. This presentation will describe the architecture of Jangle, show how it works and give some ideas as to how it could be used for common integration problems. -- Ross Singer, Talis
CouchDB is sacrilege... mmm, delicious sacrilege
CouchDB has gained buzz in the last year as an ad-hoc, schema-free, web-friendly data store. Slapstick hilarity results when a self- confessed relational database bigot experiments with CouchDB and reports on the good, the bad, and the meh. Translation into serious-ese: I will introduce CouchDB, show how one or more applications interact with it, and share any "wows" or "gotchas" that I ran into.
XForms for Metadata creation
As distributing metadata creation to authors, catalogers and other system users who may or may not have an understanding of XML becomes more and more important it has become imperative to develop reliable methods for creating and editing XML documents. This presentation will focus on the two MODS editors developed by UVM and Brown Universities and introduce the XForms technology as a means for digital libraries to create and manage complex metadata.
Karen Coyle Keynote - R&D: Can Resource Description become Rigorous Data?
This document summarizes Karen Coyle's presentation on Resource Description and Access (RDA), the new cataloging standard intended to replace AACR2. It discusses the goals of RDA, including using FRBR as a framework, simplifying rules, accommodating non-library communities, and being machine-processable. However, it notes that early drafts of RDA are very lengthy and still result in text strings rather than machine-actionable data. It highlights work being done to formally declare RDA's vocabularies in RDF to address this issue and help integrate library data into the semantic web.
DLF ILS Discovery Interface Task Force API recommendation
This document summarizes the recommendations of the DLF ILS Discovery Interface Task Force regarding opening up the integrated library system (ILS) to allow for improved patron discovery and delivery through external applications. The task force analyzed problems with current integration and proposed a technical recommendation specifying core functions and bindings through an application programming interface (API) to better support discovery, delivery, and patron account management across systems. The document outlines the membership and process of the task force and provides details on the proposed API functions to facilitate feedback and future implementation efforts.
ÖpënÜRL
The Ümlaut is an open source OpenURL middleware layer intended to improve the link resolving chain by analyzing incoming citations and intelligently querying resources to better enable access to them. The Ümlaut takes multiple approaches for locating items such as conference proceedings, preprints, postprints and gray literature utilizing search engines, Amazon, social citation managers and more. By utilizing the Worldcat registry, it is also personalizable and geospatially aware of available collections allowing access to all resources available to the user beyond the subscriptions of the Ümlaut's host institution. This talk will cover the history, architecture and community of this project.
Building Mountains Out of Molehills
Faceted navigation, which is an increasingly common feature of library OPACS, was initially developed to browse hierarchical data. MARC data however, has relatively little hierarchy, and user-generated tags have even less. The flatness of this data, makes the navigation of search result-sets cumbersome and often ineffective. BiblioCommons has been tracking academic research and industry best-practices in this realm, and experimenting with different methods of adding structure to these datasets. This session will share learning to date.
Zotero and You, or Bibliography on the Semantic Web

Smart Subjects - Application Independent Subject Recommendations
This document discusses Smart Subjects, a subject recommendation engine that takes user search queries as input and outputs a list of related library subjects. It is intended to provide application-independent subject recommendations that can be integrated into library search tools. The system works by harvesting institutional data like course descriptions and faculty publications to create text extracts of academic departments, which are then indexed and queried to crosswalk departments to library subjects. Potential applications include integrating recommendations into quick search and an OpenSearch interface. Future plans include expanding the subject indices and gauging interest in a community platform.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs
