The document discusses developing and testing JavaScript components. It recommends:
1. Generating clean HTML and JavaScript code separately to maximize flexibility and performance. HTML serves as the contract between server and client-side code.
2. Testing JavaScript code with frameworks like QUnit or YUI Test. Tests should make asynchronous requests synchronous and wait for responses.
3. Integrating unit tests into a test suite that runs across browsers to catch errors and failures. Integration tests should confirm the server generates the expected HTML.
The document provides an overview of creating pages in Symfony, including generating a module skeleton, adding actions and templates, passing information between actions and templates, linking between actions, and retrieving information from requests. Key aspects covered are that pages have separate logic in actions and presentation in templates, helpers can generate HTML, and the request parameters should be accessed through the parameter holder rather than directly.
This document provides tips and tricks for front end development on Rails. It discusses proper use of HTML elements like headers, lists, IDs and classes. It also covers CSS topics like specificity and preprocessors like SASS. JavaScript techniques for unobtrusive DOM manipulation are presented, including replacing traditional link confirmation dialogs with AJAX calls. Form helpers, RESTful routing and using JSON for AJAX responses are also summarized.

Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview - IRMS 2025Nikki Chapple
Session | Protecting Your Sensitive Data with Microsoft Purview: Practical Information Protection and DLP Strategies
Presenter | Nikki Chapple (MVP| Principal Cloud Architect CloudWay) & Ryan John Murphy (Microsoft)
Event | IRMS Conference 2025
Format | Birmingham UK
Date | 18-20 May 2025
In this closing keynote session from the IRMS Conference 2025, Nikki Chapple and Ryan John Murphy deliver a compelling and practical guide to data protection, compliance, and information governance using Microsoft Purview. As organizations generate over 2 billion pieces of content daily in Microsoft 365, the need for robust data classification, sensitivity labeling, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP) has never been more urgent.
This session addresses the growing challenge of managing unstructured data, with 73% of sensitive content remaining undiscovered and unclassified. Using a mountaineering metaphor, the speakers introduce the “Secure by Default” blueprint—a four-phase maturity model designed to help organizations scale their data security journey with confidence, clarity, and control.
🔐 Key Topics and Microsoft 365 Security Features Covered:
Microsoft Purview Information Protection and DLP
Sensitivity labels, auto-labeling, and adaptive protection
Data discovery, classification, and content labeling
DLP for both labeled and unlabeled content
SharePoint Advanced Management for workspace governance
Microsoft 365 compliance center best practices
Real-world case study: reducing 42 sensitivity labels to 4 parent labels
Empowering users through training, change management, and adoption strategies
🧭 The Secure by Default Path – Microsoft Purview Maturity Model:
Foundational – Apply default sensitivity labels at content creation; train users to manage exceptions; implement DLP for labeled content.
Managed – Focus on crown jewel data; use client-side auto-labeling; apply DLP to unlabeled content; enable adaptive protection.
Optimized – Auto-label historical content; simulate and test policies; use advanced classifiers to identify sensitive data at scale.
Strategic – Conduct operational reviews; identify new labeling scenarios; implement workspace governance using SharePoint Advanced Management.
🎒 Top Takeaways for Information Management Professionals:
Start secure. Stay protected. Expand with purpose.
Simplify your sensitivity label taxonomy for better adoption.
Train your users—they are your first line of defense.
Don’t wait for perfection—start small and iterate fast.
Align your data protection strategy with business goals and regulatory requirements.
💡 Who Should Watch This Presentation?
This session is ideal for compliance officers, IT administrators, records managers, data protection officers (DPOs), security architects, and Microsoft 365 governance leads. Whether you're in the public sector, financial services, healthcare, or education.
