WordPress Development in the EnterpriseIan Oeschger
Presented at Wilmington WordCamp 2017: WordPress has grown from a humble, open source blogging tool into the most dominant site development platform in the world. But does its growth, flexibility and robustness extend all the way to the enterprise? IBM software developer and architect Ian Oeschger talks about a large scale adoption of WordPress at IBM developerWorks, about user management and security, REST APIs, web standards, custom types, performance and other features that work in the enterprise, and some that do not.
AWS provides cloud computing services that allow users to access computing resources like servers and databases. It offers several advantages including easy management through a web console and command line tools, flexible scaling, reliable operations, and cost effectiveness by only paying for resources used. While AWS provides benefits, organizations still need to consider factors like control and long term costs for their business needs. The company Septeni Technology uses AWS for development, staging, and production environments, applying security and automation best practices.
The document discusses the RAW Stack, which consists of RavenDB, AngularJS, and ASP.NET WebAPI. RavenDB is an open-source NoSQL document database for .NET with asynchronous support. AngularJS is a powerful JavaScript MVC framework for building single-page applications. ASP.NET WebAPI makes it easy to serve data in a RESTful manner and integrate with RavenDB and AngularJS. Additional technologies discussed include ASP.NET MVC, Bootstrap, and how they complement the RAW Stack.
The document outlines the design choices for an ecommerce platform, including wanting a scalable single page application with an API backend, fulltext search, CDN integration, and replacing the backend independently. It chose Spree for the backend, AngularJS frontend, Solr search, PostgreSQL, Sidekiq jobs, Redis sessions, Nginx assets, HAProxy load balancing, Memcached caching, CoreOS, Docker containers, GoLang routing, Ansible configuration, and Fastly CDN. The architecture separates catalog, app, and admin interfaces across services running in Docker containers managed by CoreOS and routed through Vulcand.
JavaScript adds interactivity and functionality to websites. It responds to user interactions like clicks and key presses to change HTML and CSS dynamically. JavaScript can be embedded inline within HTML tags, internally using <script> tags, or externally by linking to .js files. Common uses of inline JavaScript include onclick attributes, while internal and external JavaScript are better for multiple elements or reusable code across pages. More extensive training is available to learn JavaScript further.
The document discusses the topics that will be covered in a six-session course on casual content management and WordPress development. The sessions will include an overview of PHP, four weeks focused on WordPress development, and a final project presentation week. Students will start with warm-up PHP exercises and build up to creating a WordPress child theme and WordPress theme from scratch.
The document discusses WordPress themes and the theme review process. It provides details on the themes directory, the WordPress Theme Review Team (WPTRT) which reviews themes, and the theme review process. Key points include that there are over 1700 free themes in the directory with hundreds of millions of downloads, and themes must pass review based on guidelines before being included. It offers tips for theme developers such as using child themes, following best practices, and using the appropriate licenses for code.
JavaScript is a client-side scripting language that allows for more web functionality on the user's machine, improving server performance and page load times. jQuery is a popular JavaScript library that simplifies tasks like HTML document manipulation, event handling, and Ajax calls. To use jQuery, include the jQuery script in an HTML file and use jQuery syntax with $ selectors to target elements and perform actions on them. Callbacks allow functions to execute asynchronously after their parent functions complete.
This document discusses how to work with AngularJS by breaking down a large monolithic web application into smaller reusable components. It describes that the original application had over 10 JavaScript files and over 2500 lines of code total. By adopting AngularJS, the application was broken into components with two-way data binding, modularity, templates and dependency injection which simplified the code and made it easier to support. The document concludes that using AngularJS allows for simple page building, reusable components, easy support and more confident code.
Single Page Apps or SPAs are rich, responsive web applications built with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript that load all necessary code at once and persist state on the client without full page reloads. Many popular web apps like Gmail and Facebook use SPA architecture. Frameworks like AngularJS, BackboneJS, and KnockoutJS help build SPAs using common patterns like MVC/MVVM and provide templating, data binding, and other functionality. The document provides an example SPA called SPAtube built with KnockoutJS, jQuery, Bootstrap and other libraries that demonstrates a simple SPA for storing YouTube playlists.
This document provides an overview of dynamic web pages. It begins with a brief history of the internet and the world wide web. It then defines dynamic web pages as pages that display different content each time viewed. There are two types: client-side scripting, where pages change in response to user actions using languages like JavaScript, and server-side scripting, where pages change on load using languages like PHP. The document describes how dynamic pages work with an application server and discusses advantages like easier updating and functionality, and disadvantages like higher complexity.
This document discusses using WebAssembly in CSS Houdini worklets to improve performance. It explains that while CSS Houdini APIs allow extending CSS functionality, adding new features can take a long time in browsers. WebAssembly offers high performance and new languages can be compiled to it. The document demonstrates loading a WebAssembly module in a paint worklet to render fractals faster than JavaScript alone. While promising, using WebAssembly in worklets still faces challenges around loading and running it, and the canvas API within worklets is limited.
Drupal is an open-source content management framework built with PHP and MySQL. It was created in 2001 and now powers around 3% of websites worldwide. Drupal provides tools for building websites with customizable content types and taxonomies, as well as over 26,000 free and customizable modules, themes, and distributions. Major companies and organizations use Drupal for its flexibility, security, and large developer community.
WordPress is a free and open-source content management system written in PHP and paired with a MySQL or MariaDB database. Features include a plugin architecture and a template system, referred to within WordPress as Themes.

The document provides recommendations for learning web development skills including HTML, CSS, JavaScript, frameworks like React and Vue, server-side programming with PHP and Node.js, cloud technologies like Kubernetes and Docker, software engineering practices like test-driven development and domain-driven design, and computer science fundamentals through online courses. It also suggests becoming familiar with development tools and environments, using version control with Git, and learning Agile methodologies.
Tree shaking is a technique to remove unused code from bundles to reduce file size. It analyzes import and export statements to determine unused code, which can then be excluded from the bundle. CSS frameworks like Bootstrap often include unused code by default that tree shaking tools can remove to minimize file size. Tools like UnCSS analyze CSS usage on a page to remove unused styles, but have limitations and an easier alternative is to only import needed components from frameworks during the build process.
Mootools is an object-oriented JavaScript framework that makes JavaScript easier to write and enhances its functionality. It provides a powerful, flexible and cross-platform way to make websites dynamic and interactive by handling everything on the client side. While jQuery is easier to learn and focuses only on the DOM, Mootools requires more advanced JavaScript knowledge but offers additional functionality beyond the DOM. The document provides steps to download, link, and use Mootools for creating demos like a slider tool.
JavaScript frameworks allow business logic to run on the client by sending JSON data on page load rather than dynamic HTML. This allows JavaScript to set up objects and classes to make assumptions without round trips to the server, improving performance. Popular frameworks like Backbone, Ember, Angular, Knockout, and Meteor emphasize separating UI from logic, data binding, templating, and routing to enable single-page applications. Meteor stands out by using the same syntax on client and server and web sockets for automatic UI updates.

Pre rendering media sites with nuxt.js & netlifynuppla
This document discusses using Nuxt.js and Netlify to pre-render media sites from a data source like Drupal for improved performance. Pre-rendering generates static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that are faster to load than dynamic sites. Nuxt.js is a progressive framework for Vue.js that supports server-side rendering and static site generation. Netlify provides hosting for static sites with automatic deployments from Git repositories. The combination provides a decoupled way to serve pre-rendered content without ongoing server costs. Personalization and dynamic updates are also discussed.
This document provides an overview of tips and tricks for using WordPress. It discusses plugins, themes, security, backups, and SEO. For plugins, it recommends testing plugins and being skeptical of any not on WordPress.org. For themes, it discusses finding reputable themes, testing themes, and using child themes to modify parent themes. It also covers securing WordPress through regular updates, strong passwords, and plugins like Akismet and Wordfence. Backups should be automated and stored offsite. SEO tips include using good themes/plugins and Google Webmaster Tools. Caching can improve performance through plugins like W3 Total Cache. Hosting recommendations include HostGator and WP-Engine.
Présentation du générateur de site statique eleventyGilles Vauvarin
Eleventy is a static site generator that allows developers to build static websites using templates and data. It supports multiple templating languages and has flexible configuration options. Some key concepts of Eleventy include using front matter, templates, layouts, collections, and folders to organize content and data. Plugins and filters can be used to extend functionality and modify content. Data can come from local files or external APIs. Eleventy projects can be installed via npm and deployed to hosting platforms like Netlify which automate deployments from a Git repository.
Static Site Generators - Developing Websites in Low-resource ConditionIWMW
Paul Walk discusses static site generators as an alternative to content management systems for publishing websites. Static site generators allow content to be authored in simple text files using formats like Markdown and compiled into static HTML and CSS that can be hosted on basic web servers. They provide benefits like minimal infrastructure needs, easy preservation of content, and increased security compared to systems that rely on databases. However, they may not be as user-friendly for content authoring. In general, static site generators are best suited for smaller, simpler websites that don't require advanced user access controls or dynamic functionality.
Static web pages contain fixed content that is delivered directly from the web server to the browser without any processing. They are simpler to create but cannot be dynamically updated. Dynamic web pages have content that can change, usually by interacting with a database or content management system. With dynamic pages, the server processes scripts that query databases and formats the results into HTML before delivering it to the browser. Common scripting languages for dynamic pages include PHP, ASP, JavaScript, and Python. The DOM (Document Object Model) represents an HTML document as a hierarchical tree structure and allows manipulating and changing the page dynamically.
This document summarizes an approach to modern web development that separates applications into logical components with single responsibilities. It advocates for building APIs with frameworks like Grails to handle data exchange, separate admin interfaces, and static single page applications using front-end frameworks. Key points include using test-driven development, continuous integration, and pre-generating static content to improve performance and reduce server loads.
This document introduces a high performance photo gallery and summarizes recent updates and improvements. It discusses:
1. New features like mobile support, shopping functionality, and performance optimizations.
2. Architecture decisions like caching, SQL optimization, and use of Sphinx, Memcached, and Nginx.
3. Benchmark results showing the system can handle over 180,000 pageviews daily on a single server.
This document compares static and dynamic websites. Static websites consist of static web pages that do not require additional software to function beyond a web browser. Dynamic websites are formed by a content management system that generates pages on request using scripts, templates, and a database. The document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each type as well as content management systems and how to set them up.
TAGS in short is a generic framework which has been specifically designed to cater to needs of any TFT client who seeks a low cost end-to-end automation solution using open source tools.

Best Practices for Building Sites in dotCMSMichael Fienen
This document provides best practices for building sites in dotCMS, including:
1) Important container types like functional templates, meta containers, and statistics containers.
2) The differences between templates and containers, and how to structure each.
3) When to use Velocity Template Language (VTL) files.
4) How to structure widgets and use them with containers.
5) Setting up URL maps for detail pages and custom forwarding pages.
6) Ensuring valid HTML and 508 compliance.
When a website is static, but needs authoring ability to change its content quickly, deploying a solution like AEM would involve the overhead of managing all the publish instances, dispatchers and their configuration.
The solution could be simplified to have AEM only for authoring and extract the authored content as HTML and their dependent resources and host it on a standard webserver.
This Article discusses the different approaches for doing this.

AI Changes Everything – Talk at Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2...Alan Dix
Talk at the final event of Data Fusion Dynamics: A Collaborative UK-Saudi Initiative in Cybersecurity and Artificial Intelligence funded by the British Council UK-Saudi Challenge Fund 2024, Cardiff Metropolitan University, 29th April 2025
https://alandix.com/academic/talks/CMet2025-AI-Changes-Everything/
Is AI just another technology, or does it fundamentally change the way we live and think?
Every technology has a direct impact with micro-ethical consequences, some good, some bad. However more profound are the ways in which some technologies reshape the very fabric of society with macro-ethical impacts. The invention of the stirrup revolutionised mounted combat, but as a side effect gave rise to the feudal system, which still shapes politics today. The internal combustion engine offers personal freedom and creates pollution, but has also transformed the nature of urban planning and international trade. When we look at AI the micro-ethical issues, such as bias, are most obvious, but the macro-ethical challenges may be greater.
At a micro-ethical level AI has the potential to deepen social, ethnic and gender bias, issues I have warned about since the early 1990s! It is also being used increasingly on the battlefield. However, it also offers amazing opportunities in health and educations, as the recent Nobel prizes for the developers of AlphaFold illustrate. More radically, the need to encode ethics acts as a mirror to surface essential ethical problems and conflicts.
At the macro-ethical level, by the early 2000s digital technology had already begun to undermine sovereignty (e.g. gambling), market economics (through network effects and emergent monopolies), and the very meaning of money. Modern AI is the child of big data, big computation and ultimately big business, intensifying the inherent tendency of digital technology to concentrate power. AI is already unravelling the fundamentals of the social, political and economic world around us, but this is a world that needs radical reimagining to overcome the global environmental and human challenges that confront us. Our challenge is whether to let the threads fall as they may, or to use them to weave a better future.

DevOpsDays Atlanta 2025 - Building 10x Development Organizations.pptxJustin Reock
Building 10x Organizations with Modern Productivity Metrics
10x developers may be a myth, but 10x organizations are very real, as proven by the influential study performed in the 1980s, ‘The Coding War Games.’
Right now, here in early 2025, we seem to be experiencing YAPP (Yet Another Productivity Philosophy), and that philosophy is converging on developer experience. It seems that with every new method we invent for the delivery of products, whether physical or virtual, we reinvent productivity philosophies to go alongside them.
But which of these approaches actually work? DORA? SPACE? DevEx? What should we invest in and create urgency behind today, so that we don’t find ourselves having the same discussion again in a decade?
