Open Source Content Management Systems for Small and Medium Businesses, Chari...Will Hall
How can open source CMS's meet the particular challenges that running SME's, NGO's or charities involve? Whether you run a small business, non-governmental organisation or charity, the potential for spending hundreds of thousands of pound on software to assist with the running of your business is untenable, however, how far can open-source software (and particularly content management systems) enable your business to evolve, thrive and even surpass your expectations. In my presentation I intend to discuss; what your content is and how to use it to your advantage when running a complex operation with limited resources. The advantages and disadvantages of utilising open source software and how you can leverage the community to gain support and expertise. What the future for open source projects are and how you can ensure your business/organisation/charity can continue its work into Web 3.0
This presentation describes a user-centered website design process that reduces risk and aligns your business goals with the goals of your audience. The result is a professional business website that attracts and converts valuable prospects.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

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!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.

Flourish Your Web Propose With e-Fuzion
One of the big compensation of designing websites this way is that you can get the web design looking
exactly how you want it. Designs for websites that have been done in Photoshop are called treatments
or mockups. Generally <a href="http://www.e-fuzion.com">Web Design Delhi</a> company e-fuzion
which creates two or three treatments for a website and then show them to the website owner, who
chooses the best. If you are manufacture the web design for yourself, then you could show the
treatments to a friend or a member of your family. Frequently, you may find that you will want to make
changes to your web design in order to improve it. Most treatments go through different versions
before they are perfected to the ultimate web design layout. Furthermore, it’s much easier to make
changes to a web design in Photoshop than it would be using html. Therefore, <a href="http://www.e-
fuzion.com">Web Design Delhi</a> company e-fuzion includes with the aid of the web design program
of your choice, you could finalize the look and feel of your current design. Making changes will be much
harder and could be more expensive if you leave them pending until the end of the project. Showing
your web design to some potential customers can always be a wise thing to do. With this done, <a
href="http://www.e-fuzion.com">Web Design Delhi</a> company e-fuzion will provide different idea
about what people think about web designing. Throughout feedbacks received, you can then enhance
your web design so that it helps the website meet its goals.
Websites are implicit using html, which is a fairly simple computer language made up of tags. In their
simplest forms, tags are ways to add extra information to the text. For example you can add an h1 tag to
some text if it’s the page heading or you could add a tag to some copy to turn it to a link. This was fine to
use in web design in the days when the pages were only created by academics to share their latest
discoveries. But if you are creating the web design for a modern website, you would possibly want it to
look more striking.
Hiring a web designer to come up with the custom solution that you need can set you back a few
thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop simple for mere
pennies with a tool like Breezy Websites. See http://breezywebsites.com for details!

Focus groups - how to run them
2. A focus group involves encouraging an invited group of participants to share their thoughts, feelings,
attitudes and ideas on certain subject. Organising focus groups within an organisation can also be very
useful in getting buy-in to a project from within that company.
When and why to use focus groups
Focus groups are most often used as an input to design.
Advantages of focus groups include:
- Quick, cheap and relatively easy to assemble
- Good for getting rich data in participants' own words and developing deeper insights
- People are able to build on one another's responses and come up with ideas they might not have
thought of in a 1-on-1 interview
- Good for obtaining data from children and/or people with low levels of literacy
- Provides an opportunity to involve people in data analysis (e.g. "Out of the issues we have talked
about, which ones are most important to you?")
- Participants can act as checks and balances on one another - identifying factual errors or extreme
views
Limitations of focus groups include:
- The responses of each participant are not independent
- A few dominant focus group members can skew the session
- Focus groups require a skilled and experienced moderator
- The data which results from a focus group requires skill and experience to analyse
3. How to plan and prepare for focus groups
Invite around 6 to 8 people to participate for a session to last for about an hour. Then, prepare an
agenda including a list of the top-level issues to be tackled (if appropriate).
Prepare an introduction script explaining the purpose of the day and how the day will be run. This can
include issues of consent and fire regulations (if relevant). Be sure to always use a quiet room with few
distractions and arrange people in a circle (possibly around a table).
Running focus groups
If appropriate, ask the participants to introduce themselves and/or wear name tags. Most importantly,
all questions you ask should be open and neutral. It's also important for the moderator to be aware of
participants' energy and concentration levels and provide short breaks if necessary. The moderator
should encourage free-flowing discussion around the relevant issue(s).
Other tips for running focus groups include:
- Start on an issue people have strong feelings about and are familiar with
- Phrase issues in terms people will be familiar with
- Let participants know their contributions are valuable (both through what you say and also your body
language)
It's also important that the moderator realises that:
- It may be necessary for them to step in and keep the session on-track
- Disagreements and debates are useful when they lead to new and interesting ideas, but have to be
managed carefully
- Issues of power and privacy need to be managed sensitively
4. Focus groups should end with the moderator winding-up the session by stressing all that has achieved
and casting it in a positive light.
Managing risks
A number of potential problems could arise during focus groups, which will all need addressing:
- If one participant tries to dominate the session, the moderator should invite each person to speak in
turn
- Avoid interviewing friends in the same group as they can form cliques - if cliques do form, suggest
taking a break and changing seating positions upon returning from the break
- Avoid personal confrontation - allow the group to police itself (e.g. "do others in the group agree?")
- Respect someone's right to be quiet, but do give them a chance to share their ideas 1-to-1 (e.g. during
a break)
- Use differences of opinion as a topic of discussion - the moderator should avoid taking sides
Useful tips to encourage discussion
To facilitate useful, free-flowing discussion during the focus group, follow some of these tips:
- Ask participants to think about an issue for a few minutes and write down their responses
- Ask each participant to read, and elaborate on, one of their responses
- Note the responses on a flipchart/whiteboard
- Once everyone has given a response, participants will be asked for a second or third response, until all
of their answers have been noted
- These responses can then be discussed
5. How to report
The minutes, or a summary document, should be produced for each session. A report should be written
up, containing relevant profile information about the people who attended the session.
Hiring a web designer to come up with the custom solution that you need can set you back a few
thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop simple for mere
pennies with a tool like Breezy Websites. See http://breezywebsites.com for details!

For Automated Sites - PHP and MySQL Are A Perfect Match
You’ve decided to automate your web site. Now what? Here are some ideas to help you choose how to
automate your site.
A bit of programming is going to be necessary if you want to automate a site. There are many types of
programs that can be used to automate a web site including JavaScript, PHP, Perl, ASP, Java and more.
So, which do you use? For many, it is a personal choice.
I prefer PHP for programming. PHP is a particularly useful programming language because it allows for
advanced programming and is easy to integrate with web pages. Another plus of PHP is that the
language interfaces very well with MySQL, a popular type of online database.
Yet another plus of PHP is that it is Open Source Code. The actual code that is PHP is available to the
public for free, while the source code for products such as ASP are not. Because PHP is open source,
there is a large community of PHP programmers that help each other with code. This means PHP
programmers can rely on each other by using reusable pieces of code called functions and classes rather
than constantly reinventing the wheel. This can dramatically cut down on production time.
6. Overall, PHP is flexible, cheaper than many alternatives, and built around a community. PHP and MySQL
are excellent choice for webmasters looking to automate their web sites.
What Can PHP and MySQL do for me? Just about anything you can think of. That is the beauty of custom
programming. A few ideas of what you can do with a PHP and MySQL driven site include:
1. E-commerce
2. User Polls
3. Website creator Tracking
4. Set User Preferences
5. Manage Password Protected Member's Areas
6. Lead Follow Up
7. Customer Relations
8. Content Management
9. Email Newsletters
10. Accounting
7. 11. Invoicing
12. Scheduled Updates
The list is limited only by your imagination. Once you have decided to go with a PHP and MySQL site, you
can either get a custom program created, use a prepackaged version or a combination of both. Many
PHP and MySQL programs that come prepackaged are easy to customize and can save you a lot of time
and money over starting from the ground up.
Hiring a web designer to come up with the custom solution that you need can set you back a few
thousand bucks. But you can do the whole thing yourself and make it drag and drop simple for mere
pennies with a tool like Breezy Websites. See http://breezywebsites.com for details!
