Let’s learn how to use JavaScript responsibly and stay up-to-date.
This document discusses responsible and up-to-date use of JavaScript. It recommends directly learning JavaScript instead of relying on libraries without understanding. Browser tools and editors have improved, removing the need for user agent sniffing or outdated polyfills.

Creating a Great Portfolio Site
If you’re a creative or technical professional, odds are you need a great portfolio website. What makes a good portfolio?

We’ll go over how to navigate the intimidating world of personal portfolio websites, using WordPress as our guide.
Mind the Gap - State of the Browser 2015
- The web development community needs to focus more on quality, accessibility, and standards compliance rather than constant innovation and new techniques. Browsers have come a long way but still struggle to balance implementing new features while maintaining compatibility.
- Web pages have gotten slower and larger over time due to an emphasis on appearance over performance and a reluctance to drop legacy techniques. Many modern solutions make the web more complex without real benefits.
- Developers should provide better feedback to browsers, demand stronger support for baseline functionality, and stop catering to outdated browsers to encourage continued progress toward an interoperable web. Simpler, more sustainable approaches would benefit all.
Starting a website from design
Proper planning is essential before designing a website to avoid costly mistakes. The document recommends creating a storyboard that maps out each page, including the home page and subsequent tiers of internal pages linked from the home and each other. Drawing out the site structure on paper allows problems to be identified and solved before spending time coding, preventing major redesigns later on. Getting feedback from others can also help improve the design before development begins.

The Basics of Writing in the Digital Era Cherie Dargan CWW15
This is my presentation for the 2015 Cedar Falls Christian Writers' Workshop in Cedar Falls, Iowa for June 18-20
Future proofing design work with Web components
Web components are a W3C standard that's been adopted by all major browsers as of October 2018. The Version 1 specification is a joy to work with and brings the web into a composing context from a raw materials one. That is, we can now directly repurpose and leverage our efforts to build bigger and better experiences (like modern home development practices) instead of constantly reinventing the wheel (like molding bricks out of clay to work on our house).
As of this writing, the ELMS:LN team (4 people) at Penn State has created 433 web components for generalized use. We've built an editor, a CMS, integrated those elements into Drupal (multiple versions), delivered static sites, worked on desktop apps, and done design work entirely, end to end, using web components and a uniform process for creating and deploying them.
Talk structure:
What are web components, can I use them, answering questions of libraries, polyfills, SEO, and accessibility
Examples of who has adopted them and what they doing with them
Community resources like polymer slack, webcomponents, and open-wc.org
Detailed examples of adoption in production, Drupal and non-Drupal environments, lessons learned and unthinkable wins
Our WCFactory tooling that automates much of the workflow of producing a sustainable element portfolio
How teams can leverage web components across projects
Where Drupal 6,7,8,9 fit into the future with web components
Where the future is going with HAXeditor and HAXcms, the future of micro-site generation and management
Our team is in love with web components and we think you will too! Join us and build better, more sustainable design systems of the future (today)!

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Chris Jones, Director of Product Management at BrainChip , presents the “Temporal Event Neural Networks: A More Efficient Alternative to the Transformer” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
The expansion of AI services necessitates enhanced computational capabilities on edge devices. Temporal Event Neural Networks (TENNs), developed by BrainChip, represent a novel and highly efficient state-space network. TENNs demonstrate exceptional proficiency in handling multi-dimensional streaming data, facilitating advancements in object detection, action recognition, speech enhancement and language model/sequence generation. Through the utilization of polynomial-based continuous convolutions, TENNs streamline models, expedite training processes and significantly diminish memory requirements, achieving notable reductions of up to 50x in parameters and 5,000x in energy consumption compared to prevailing methodologies like transformers.
Integration with BrainChip’s Akida neuromorphic hardware IP further enhances TENNs’ capabilities, enabling the realization of highly capable, portable and passively cooled edge devices. This presentation delves into the technical innovations underlying TENNs, presents real-world benchmarks, and elucidates how this cutting-edge approach is positioned to revolutionize edge AI across diverse applications.Demystifying Knowledge Management through Storytelling

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
