This document discusses the history of mobile development across different platforms using PhoneGap. It describes early implementations on iOS and Android that allowed calling native functions from JavaScript. It also outlines support for BlackBerry, WebOS, and Windows Phone 7. While progress has been made, it notes that PhoneGap is still not fully supported and issues remain around features like storage, XMLHttpRequest, scrolling, and newer web standards.
CI/CD doesn’t necessarily mean Jenkins - Omer Hamerman - DevOpsDays Tel Aviv ...DevOpsDays Tel Aviv
Been working with Jenkins for years until I saw the light in tools like Travis, CircleCI & Drone; an open source, container-based, fast, stable, and plugins are a breeze. So, when I see docker oriented companies, with no super custom processes use Jenkins, I can’t help but ask myself, WHY?
We're now living the golden age of JavaScript. An increasingly number of people are seeing it as a complete language. Therefore, agile development practices are now being adapted and applied to JavaScript code production. However, there has been a lack of support tools in the JS ecosystem, compared to what can be found on other platforms.
A year ago, native BDD solutions similar to Cucumber were almost inexistant. Yet the need for it was manifest. It didn't take me long before I proposed and started hacking on the port of our favourite cucurbitaceae.
Cucumber.js is a native JavaScript implementation of Cucumber. It is a strict port that can run on any JavaScript environment. It runs on Node.js as well as within any browsers, making it virtually serviceable against everything producing JavaScript and HTML (Node.js, Ruby on Rails, PHP, .Net, etc.).
This is an introduction to the young Cucumber.js. After briefly exposing the history and goals of the project, I'll demonstrate how to write features, step definitions, hooks, support code, how to invoke it from both Node.js and browser environments.

CloudFoundry and MongoDb, a marriage made in heavenPatrick Chanezon
This talk will provide an overview of the PaaS (Platform as a Service) landscape, and will describe the Cloud Foundry open source PaaS, with its multi-framework, multi-service, multi-cloud model. Cloud Foundry allows developers to provision apps in Java/Spring, Ruby/Rails, Ruby/Sinatra, Javascript/Node, and leverage services like MySQL, MongoDB, Reddis, Postgres and RabbitMQ. It can be used as a public PaaS on CloudFoundry.com and other service providers (ActiveState, AppFog), to create your own private cloud, or on your laptop using the Micro Cloud Foundry VM. Micro Cloud Foundry is a very easy way for developers to start working on their application using their framework of choice and MongoDB, without the need to setup a development environment, and your app is one command line away (vmc push) from deployment to cloudfoundry.com.

Max Firtman discusses the present mobile ecosystem, why cross-platform is the key to success, HTML5 APIs, challenges with HTML5, when HTML5 is a proper solutions and other. Filmed at qconsf.com.
Max Firtman is a mobile+web developer, trainer, speaker and writer. He is Adobe Community Champion and founder of ITMaster Professional Training. He wrote many books, including "Programming the Mobile Web" and "jQuery Mobile: Up and Running" published by O'Reilly Media. He has a blog about mobile web development at www.mobilexweb.com and he maintains the website www.mobilehtml5.org.
Designing the code of a large application in production and scaling up to thousands of users while doing it all in Node.js is a challenge that no developer should face alone. I will discuss how we have developed a highly decoupled, plugin-based architecture and a decentralized infrastructure for Cloud9 IDE, along with the technologies we've developed and the difficulties we faced in order to build the largest Node.js application that exists in production.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

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.

Builder.ai Founder Sachin Dev Duggal's Strategic Approach to Create an Innova...Ramesh Iyer
In today's fast-changing business world, Companies that adapt and embrace new ideas often need help to keep up with the competition. However, fostering a culture of innovation takes much work. It takes vision, leadership and willingness to take risks in the right proportion. Sachin Dev Duggal, co-founder of Builder.ai, has perfected the art of this balance, creating a company culture where creativity and growth are nurtured at each stage.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
2. PhoneGap is a hack
iOS - the Early Days
Nitobi created iPhone Gap
stringByEvaluatingJavascriptString()
JS->Native used window.location changes
Monday, 5 December, 11
3. Android
Android SDK introduced the webview.bind
method
Native code called javascript with ‘javascript:’
URLs
( with issues )
Monday, 5 December, 11
4. Android + Callback
Override prompt in javascript
callback server with Polling
It works
Monday, 5 December, 11
5. BlackBerry
Originally it didn’t seem
possible
Until Dave discovered
that JS cookies were
observable from Native
code.
Monday, 5 December, 11
6. BlackBerry WebWorks
WebWorks embraces
Javascript code, it becomes
a first class citizen on the
device.
Monday, 5 December, 11
7. WebOS
WebOS the
whole app is
Javascript, so
another simple
shim
WebOS did a
lot right; just
bad timing/luck
Monday, 5 December, 11
8. Windows Phone 7
So how does WP7 do it? ScriptNotify
Calling to Native
javascript can call window.external.Notify(string)
C# code listens for the ScriptNotify event
Monday, 5 December, 11
10. Why Not Sooner?
Mango brings IE9
finally a compliant browser
addEventListener ( no more
conditional event model )
JSON built in
Array.forEach, Object.defineProperty
querySelectorAll, Canvas, SVG, ...
