Flexibility is fun, but use it with care (JavaScript is dynamically typed)
by OreillyMedia 364 views
When you begin programming in JavaScript, you'll need to use variables. A variable is just a bit of storage to hold a value. Just about every line of code you write will use a variable of one kind or another, so it's a good idea to get familiar with the kinds of things you can put in variables, and how you can use them. Now, if you're coming from another programming language, like Java, you might be surprised to see how loose JavaScript is about variables and their types; JavaScript doesn't care if your variable starts out with a string value, and ends up being a number: JavaScript's dynamically typed.
In this installment of Head First JavaScript Programming Teasers, you'll learn about the basics of variables, how JavaScript is dynamically typed, and why it's a good idea to stick with one type for your variables. -

Best of Fluent 2012: Maintainable JavaScript
by OreillyMedia 6,087 views
NOTE: To view an HD version go to: http://youtu.be/nZihjH6_Qns
Video of Nicholas Zakas from his Fluent Conference 2012 Presentation
Maintainable JavaScript tackles the difficult problem of writing code as part of a large team. When you're writing code that only you will change, there aren't any issues. As soon as you're writing code that someone else is going to also be changing, you need to think harder about the decisions you make. Will another developer be able to understand what you did? Did you organize your code in such a way that it's easy to adapt and extend? Long after you're gone, will others be able to continue using the same code, or will it need to be rewritten because no one understands it? This session shows the best practices used by teams to ensure their JavaScript is as maintainable as possible.
About Nicholas Zakas
Nicholas C. Zakas worked at Yahoo! for almost five years, building and defining front-end strategy for some of Yahoo's largest sites. Nicholas is also the author of several books, including High Performance JavaScript, Professional JavaScript for Web Developers, and Professional Ajax. -

O'Reilly Webcast: Lean UX - Agility through cross-functional collaboration
by OreillyMedia 457 views
Designers have long relied on heavy documentation to communicate their vision for products and experiences. As technology has evolved to offer more complex and intricate interactions, the deliverables we've been creating have followed suit. Ultimately though, these deliverables have come to serve as bottlenecks to the creation process and as the beginning of the negotiation process with our team mates — a starting point for conversation on what could get built and launched.
Join Jeff Gothelf for a hands-on webcast to learn how Lean UX aims to open up the user experience design process with a collaborative approach that involves the entire team. It's a hypothesis-based design approach that tests design ideas early and often and, along the way, builds a shared understanding with our team mates that eliminates the dependencies on heavy documentation and challenging communications. Lean UX is a solution for the challenge of Agile and UX integration while it also works effectively in traditional waterfall and other hybrid environments.
About Jeff Gothelf
Jeff Gothelf is a designer & Agile practitioner. He is a leading voice on the topics of Agile UX & Lean UX and a highly sought-after international speaker. He is currently a Managing Director in Neo's New York City office. Previously, Jeff has led teams at TheLadders, Publicis Modem, WebTrends, Fidelity, & AOL.

Data Visualization - The Value of Process
by OreillyMedia 790 views
Recorded from a Live Event
This webcast talk presented by Scott Murray author of Interactive Data Visualization for the Web, will introduce ideas from conceptual art, connecting them to the daily challenges faced by data visualizers working with code.
The spheres of art and design are quite concerned with process, and the practice of data visualization should be no different. The design process is critical, but so is the process through which the audience interacts with our work, as well as the mapping process — expressed in code — of translating data values into visuals.
About Scott Murray
Scott Murray is a code artist who writes software to create data visualizations and other interactive phenomena. His work incorporates elements of interaction design, systems design, and generative art. Scott is an Assistant Professor of Design at the University of San Francisco, where he teaches data visualization and interaction design.

O'Reilly Webcast: How sci-fi and real world interfaces influence each other
by OreillyMedia 380 views
Recorded from a Live Event - Low Resolution
Make It So: Interaction Design lessons from Science Fiction explores how sci-fi and interface design relate to each other. The authors, Nathan Shedroff and Chris Noessel, have developed a model that traces lines of influence between the two, and use this as a scaffold to investigate how the depiction of technologies evolve over time, how fictional interfaces influence those in the real world, and what lessons interface designers can learn through this process. This investigation of science fiction television shows and movies has yielded practical lessons that apply to online, social, mobile, and other media interfaces.
In this webcast, Chris Noessel will help you: Learn the ways you as a design influence sci-fi Learn the ways sci-fi are influencing your users Understand how anthropomorphism affects user expectations Hear reminders of HCI lessons anchored in scifi See sci-fi examples of concepts being developed in laboratories See examples of lessons that can be applied from speculative technology

Symptoms included sweaty palms and recurring nightmares with blood-thirsty ASCII symbols. But don't worry, this condition doesn't have to be chronic. A cure is right around the corner.
As with many developers, you're familiar with the power of regular expressions, but anything beyond the basics scares the crap out of you. Fear no more young padawan! In this talk, we'll start with the basics and progressively enhance your knowledge until you're coding regular expressions like a champ. Everything will be demonstrated live with visual examples that ensure maximum comprehension.

Big Data is a Hotbed of Thoughtcrime, Part II: The Code - Jim Adler
by OreillyMedia 741 views
At Strata 2012 in New York, we discussed the hazards of curbing big data inferences by defining a new category of thoughtcrime. After all, acting on thoughts might constitute a crime, but thoughts, in isolation, cannot be criminal. It's time to go deeper. Let's create and evaluate a predictive criminal model that highlights where the sensitivities lie, both technically and ethically.

How to get unstuck:content strategy for the future
by OreillyMedia 489 views
We all want a web that's more flexible, responsive, and ready for new devices. There's only one little flaw: Our content is stuck in the past. Locked into inflexible pages and documents, our content is far from ready for today's world of APIs, read-later services, and responsive sites&much less for the coming one, where the web is embedded in everything from autos to appliances.
We can't keep creating more content for each of these new devices and channels. We'd go nuts trying to manage and maintain all of it. Instead, we need content that does more for us.
This webcast will get you started by showing you how to: Stop thinking of content in terms of pages and documents and start breaking it down according to its meaning, message, and purpose Give your legacy content the structure and metadata it needs for responsive design, APIs, and multi-device experiences Edit and refocus your content&for mobile users and for everyone else, too Identify the organizational roadblocks and fears about change that create barriers to making this shift
About Sara Wachter-Boettcher
Sara Wachter-Boettcher is an independent content strategist based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where she helps clients stop creating endless content and start building strategies that are sustainable, meaningful, and future-ready.
She got this way after stints as a journalist, copywriter, and web writer, during which she became increasingly dissatisfied with the chaos typically found in web content projects. In 2008, she launched the content strategy practice at her past agency, Off Madison Ave, and started working closely with IA and UX teams to build a better way forward.
Sara is the editor in chief for A List Apart magazine, where her writing has also appeared. She also contributes to Contents and blogs sporadically on her personal site, sarawb.com. You can see where she'll be speaking next on Lanyrd.

O'Reilly Webcast: Engaging Audiences with Data Visualization
by OreillyMedia 760 views
*Note - Audio Quality is Low
Edward Tufte, Stephen Few, and others espouse graphical purity and simplicity when visualizing data. Yet while "pure" visualizations may function successfully for experts, they are not necessarily useful for communicating meaning to lay audiences. Engaging non-expert audiences is essential to communicating the value of one's data and research. Fortunately, we can draw on principles and practices for engagement from the fields of graphic design, interaction design, and (data) journalism.
Join us for a hands-on webcast presented by Scott Murray author of Interactive Data Visualization for the Web, as he guides you through the framework of three avenues of engagement: aesthetic, narrative, and interactive.
About Scott Murray

O'Reilly Webcast: View Updating: How to Make it Work
by OreillyMedia 111 views
Ever since the relational view concept was first invented, view updating has been a contentious issue. Support in today's SQL products is ad hoc and meager at best. The SQL standard is even more impenetrable in this area than it usually is. Even the research literature is weak on this topic; numerous approaches have been proposed and found wanting over the years. In this webcast presentation, by contrast, Chris Date describes a way of looking at the problem that (a) appears to be logically correct, (b) is certainly not ad hoc, and (c) works for all kinds of views. The overall message is: Views in general are just as updatable as "base tables" are! Attend this webcast and see why this isn't as extravagant a claim as it might seem.
About C.J. Date
C.J. Date has a stature that is unique within the database industry. C.J. is a prolific writer, and is well-known for his best-selling textbook: An Introduction to Database Systems (Addison Wesley). C.J. is an exceptionally clear-thinking writer who can lay out principles and theory in a way easily understood by his audience.

O'Reilly Webcast: Stylish Structure- XML Publishing with Adobe InDesign
by OreillyMedia 228 views
*Note: Audio quality not very clear
Traditional XML publishing uses XSLT to make web pages and XSL-FO to make printable PDFs from XML sources. Book and magazine publishers are frustrated by the limited styling and "untweakable" output of the PDF process. Adobe InDesign offers a more flexible and typographically expressive alternative, but there are plenty of challenges in the process. This webcast looks at what's possible, what's feasible and what is problematic in using InDesign to publish XML.
About Dorothy Hoskins
Dorothy Hoskins is an XML evangelist, always learning new things to help her play with XML, but her true love is the development of processes that tie together various applications for publishing XML to both print and web.

O'Reilly Webcast: Deep Learning - The Biggest Data Science Breakthrough of the Decade
by OreillyMedia 2,549 views
*Recording From a Live Event
Machine learning and AI have appeared on the front page of the New York Times three times in recent memory: 1) When a computer beat the world's #1 chess player 2) When Watson beat the world's best Jeopardy players 3) When deep learning algorithms won a chemo-informatics Kaggle competition.
We all know about the first two... but what's that deep learning thing about? This happened in November of last year, and it represents a critical breakthrough in data science that every executive will need to know about and react to in the coming years. The NY Times said that these advances "hold implications not just for drug development, but for an array of applications, including marketing and law enforcement".
In this webcast talk Jeremy Howard, Kaggle's president and chief scientist, will explain exactly what occurred, why it was front-page newsworthy for the New York Times, how it will impact business, and what you need to know to make these new algorithms work for you.
About Jeremy Howard
Jeremy Howard is the President and Chief Scientist at Kaggle. Previously, he founded FastMail (sold to Opera Software) and Optimal Decisions (sold to ChoicePoint - now called LexisNexis Risk Solutions). Prior to that he worked in management consulting, at McKinsey & Company and A.T. Kearney, but he is now nearly fully recovered.
Jeremy's passion is applying algorithms to data. At FastMail he used algorithms to automate nearly every part of the business - as a result the company only needed a total of 3 full time staff, and got over a million signups. Optimal Decisions was a business entirely built to commercialise a new algorithm he designed for the optimal pricing of insurance.
Jeremy competes regularly in data mining competitions, which he uses to test himself and stay on the leading edge of machine learning and predictive modelling technology. His competition performance history is available on his Kaggle profile page. If you have beaten Jeremy in a competition, he would appreciate it if you didn't rub it in too much.

How Operational Research Meets Artificial Intelligence
By: Elisabeth Crawford
Every month, Birchbox fills boxes with a mixture of beauty and lifestyle product samples. It then sends these products to its subscribers. But who gets what? In addition to physical constraints (i.e. size) and historical requirements (nobody should get the same thing twice), the company needs to maximize the reward and happiness of each box recipient. Birchbox CTO Elisabeth Crawford joins Strata chair Alistair Croll for a discussion of the challenges in product discovery, and how operational research meets artificial intelligence. Liz is the CTO at Birchbox.
The Recursive Approach to Visualization
By: Vadim Ogievetsky
This webcast session will discuss the manifestation of the split-apply-combine principle in both data visualization and data stores. Vadim Ogievetsky will discuss the possibility of unifying the two within the same declarative language in the hopes that such an approach will produce an efficient way to explore huge datasets.
Wake Up and Smell the Data
By: Mark Madsen
Big data is a big part of the disruption hitting this market, but not in the way most people think. It's not replacing the data warehouse, but it is changing the technology stack. It doesn't eliminate data management, but it does redefine enterprise data architecture. Big data is and isn't many things. It's important to understand which information uses are well supported and which have yet to be addressed. Otherwise you risk replacing one set of problems with another. Come to this session to hear some observations on what big data is, isn't and aspires to be.
SQL and the Future of Big Data
By: Tim O'Brien
In this webcast presentation, Tim O'Brien explores some of the projects and products that are helping people scale without having to move entire applications to novel databases. Databases like Translattice, NuoDB, and Akiban along with Google's high-profile, internal database Spanner, point towards a larger trend of scale data without throwing away the standard features of a database. The provocative question: is NoSQL simply a temporary way point, a momentary break, as the relational database adapts and underlying concepts like consensus algorithms adapt to new realities? T
A Model Strategy for Data Journalism in a Country Without Open Data
By: Sandra Crucianelli and Angélica Peralta Ramos
In a country where there is no open data nor a law like FOIA, there is a Data Team that is creating tools to help reporters and also citizens to analyze material and investigate important stories such as the use of public money. At La Nación, one of Argentina's leading daily newspapers, we have created a data model of journalism, based on teamwork, involving reporters and editors, to take an interest in writing stories based on data. But this is not all the story.

O'Reilly Webcast: Strata Online Conference: Data Warfare
by OreillyMedia 165 views
From public policy to elections, from healthcare to the battlefield, our lives rely on the analysis of abundant, connected data. But if data is infrastructure, then that infrastructure's vulnerable. Enemies can confound, confuse, distort, and mislead by attacking the information we collect and the ways we analyze.
In this online event, we'll look at data under attack. We'll see how data fights crime-and how it might abuse innocence. We'll look at sock puppets, identity fraud, and Internet fakery; and we'll look at some of the ways we can fend off attack. Join us for a free Strata online event as we look at the downside of data dependency, and the coming Data War.
Stacks get hacked
By: Alistair Croll
The history of communications technology has been open, interoperable stacks, built by shameless idealists, that get attacked by bad guys. From denial-of-service attacks to SYN floods to spam to phishing, most of today's cyber-security exploits capitalize on the inherent openness of the Web.
But Big Data is at the top of the stack. It's where technology meets people. If we're living in a data-driven world, then it's one that's easily hijacked. Bad data can undermine machine learning, misinform, and obfuscate. And while that doesn't sound dangerous, it's enough to sway an election or cripple a market.
Sex. Drugs. Rock. And CODE: Hacking Cybersecurity
By: Christina Gagnier
Cybersecurity and "hacking" have become recent topics in the mainstream media. While some hacking is seemingly innocuous pranks, serious electronic breaches have threatened the security of major organizations. Developing appropriate responses to cybersecurity threats is key. Yet, in the US, legislative initiatives attempting to address the problem have so far been awkward and controversial. Christina Gagnier leads the Intellectual Property, Internet & Technology practice at Gagnier Margossian LLP, with a specialization in social media, copyright and information privacy.

O'Reilly Webcast: Designing for Data Driven Organizations
by OreillyMedia 162 views
Businesses have access to more data than ever before, but the question of how the data can be leveraged to drive action is at times a daunting task, especially for larger organizations. Designing data delivery applications for enterprise organizations is a very different animal than designing for consumers. In consumer applications the buying decision is made by the end user, while in enterprise applications a buying decision is made for a large and heterogeneous group of end users. Managers who wish to foster data-driven organizations are given the difficult mission of either evaluating or designing software for a seemingly fickle audience.
Join for an exclusive webcast presented by Bitsy Bentley where she answers the questions:
- What happens when you give an entire organization access to a common data set? -
-Who are the different players we need to take into account? -How do we ensure that the communication brings value to both the numbers novice and the statistically savvy?
About Bitsy Bentley
As the Director of Data Visualization at GfK Custom Research (a global market research firm), Bitsy designs data visualization applications to tell compelling stories about research data.
