Slides from presentation given to the Independent Writers of Chicago on March 10, 2015. Reasons for building a social platform for your writing. Essential to make website. Pros and cons of using Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+. Offline tools to build writer platform.
The rise in popularity of front-end frameworks such as Bootstrap has changed how we approach front-end development. Instead of building out one page design at a time, the focus has shifted to building components that can be re-used throughout the product design. While these front-end tools are useful, sometimes you need a more customized option. This talk focuses on how to set up your CSS architecture within your own design system to customize for your needs while making it maintainable, scalable and modular.

TypeScript 1.6 - How I learned to Stop Worrying and Love JavaScriptWekoslav Stefanovski
The Web is all around us - and there's more of it every day. Soon we'll have a web-powered refrigerator and a web-enabled toaster. And where there's web there's JavaScript - with all its great and not so great features. Whether you like it or not, if you are a developer today, you are a JavaScript developer.
So there's a problem, because lots of people don't really like writing JavaScript, so there's a whole host of tools that will help us to avoid that.
TypeScript is a language that is not afraid of JavaScript, it embraces all the good things and adds a lot of its own goodness.
After three years of active development, it's getting to where it set out to be, and is becoming the thing we all need - a tool for high speed, high quality development of web-oriented code.

Themes Plugins and Accessibility - WordCamp London March 2015Graham Armfield
WordPress is used by over 20% of the world's websites. But how many accessible themes are there in the WordPress theme repository?
The answer is, "not many".
This presentation tries to demystify the recently introduced accessibility-ready tag within the theme review process. It's a tag that WordPress theme authors can use to indicate that their theme has good accessibility features. It's actually not that hard to achieve, and the web will be a better place if there were more accessibility-ready themes for people to choose from.
I also look at the impact WordCamp plugins can have on accessibility, and talk about whether the accessibility-ready principles could be used by plugin authors. The short answer, is that yes they can be useful.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.
