One of the final sessions at Gilbane SF yesterday was around content standards: CMIS, JSR-170 and JSR-283. Many realize there are several challenges with CMIS in particular and efficiently working with content from disparate content repositories in general. The session aimed at shedding light on some of these challenges and possible solutions in the standards space.

Bookmarklets are very handy pieces of JavaScript code that you can bookmark

In case anyone's interested, here are Firefox 3.5 compatible xpi builds for Windows i386 (compiled on Visual Studio 2008 SP1) and Linux i386 and x86_64 (compiled using gcc 4.3.3 on Ubuntu using my patch posted above): http://gkovacs.xvm.mit.edu/google-gears/gears-win32-opt-0.5.25.0.xpi http://gkovacs.xvm.mit.edu/google-gears/gears-linux-0.5.25.0.xpi http://gkovacs.xvm.mit.edu/google-gears/gears-linux-x86_64-0.5.25.0.xpi

Just as it is important to choose the proper knife when slicing-n-dicing vegetables, it is critical to prescribe a suitable user interface to support faceted filtering. Faceted filtering allows you to narrow down a large list of objects to a manageable size by applying flexible combinations of attribute filters in any order. Rather than forcing you down fixed paths within a website’s information architecture, faceted filtering allows you to multi-dimensionally slice-n-dice the information in a manner that best accommodates your specific needs. A user interface that optimally supports faceted filtering must expose its robust functionality in a way that expresses affordances, controls complexity, and follows existing standards that have been pre-established across the web.

Google Friend Connect provides simple user authentication using any OpenID account, including Google, Yahoo and AIM. Instead of filling in yet another profile form, your users can connect to their existing identities, showing current profile pictures. By making login easier and connected to existing identity, you'll see increased engagement and comment activity. The Google Friend Connect plugins are proof-of-concept code to integrate users with external accounts into your site. A user can visit your site and leave a comment with a Google Account, Yahoo Account, any OpenID, or in future other sites that participate in OpenSocial. See separate instructions for the WordPressPlugin, DrupalPlugin and PhpbbPlugin

OAuth, OpenID…they sound like the same thing and they kind of do vaguely similar things But I’m here to tell you, OAuth is not Open ID. They have a different purpose. I’ve been playing around with OAuth a bit in the past couple weeks and have a grip on what it’s aiming to do and what it’s not aiming to do. To start with, here’s what OAuth does have in common with Open ID

In the year and half since OpenSocial's public launch, there are now over 700 million end users of OpenSocial applications across numerous social sites (containers) around the world. With OpenSocial's proven global success in traditional social applications, the enterprise software community has now begun to realize its potential and build innovative solutions that cater to the enterprise. Join us for a session centered on how the enterprise software development community is successfully bringing social concepts and technology into the enterprise. Key enterprise players will present and demonstrate how they've successfully used OpenSocial software to build new social solutions.

What is Shindig? Shindig is a container for hosting social application consisting of four parts: * Gadget Container JavaScript: core JavaScript foundation for general gadget functionality (read more about gadget functionality). This JavaScript manages security, communication, UI layout, and feature extensions, such as the OpenSocial API. * Gadget Rendering Server: used to render the gadget XML into JavaScript and HTML for the container to expose via the container JavaScript. * OpenSocial Container JavaScript: JavaScript environment that sits on top of the Gadget Container JavaScript and provides OpenSocial specific functionality (profiles, friends, activities, datastore). * OpenSocial Data Server: an implementation of the server interface to container-specific information, including the OpenSocial REST APIs, with clear extension points so others can connect it to their own backends. Shindig is the reference implementation of OpenSocial API specifications, a standard set of Social Network APIs which includes: * Profiles * Relationships * Activities * Shared applications * Authentication * Authorization

Les wireframes (ou zonings selon les agences) sont ces schémas fonctionnels qui premettent de présenter une maquette de site (ou autres) au client avant d’amorcer de manière effective la phase de création graphique. Bien entendu chaque agence a ses recettes internes pour en faire. Eric de Superfiction (expert es zonings) s’est penché sur le sujet et décortique l’art du Wireframe à travers l’étude de 3 acteurs majeurs : Microsoft Powerpoint, Microsoft Visio et Axure RP pro.

This is a third edition of my article on using Visio for rapid prototyping for the web. The new edition includes a minor update of the GUUUI Web Prototyping Tool that eliminates a major shortcoming: the inability to create scrolling pages. The update also includes brand new sketchy interface widgets.

Une des nouveautés de liferay 5 est l’ajout d’un nouveau type de plugin, nommé hook, dans le Plugin SDK. Il impacte fortement la façon de customiser liferay car il permet de changer le comportement et l’interface de liferay de manière plus intelligente.

Salutations, devant la difficulté de certains à utiliser leur précieux en "mode modem" j'ai décidé de regrouper les tutos que j'ai pu trouver sur le web pour en faire un plus compact. Je rapelle que nous utilisons l'iphone comme un proxy et non véritablement comme un modem et que de ce fait c'est sensé ne pas etre détecté, après je suis pas assez callé en informatique désolé^^. Ce tuto est optimisé vista, cependant la méthode sous xp est sensiblement la meme, vous aurez juste à chercher les options.

Bonsoir à tous, je fais juste un petit post pour dire que je viens de trouver un logiciel très utile et très simple à utiliser. Il permet de connecter en WiFi votre iPhone3G ou votre smartphone équipé de connectique 3G/3G+ et WIFI, avec votre netbook/laptop et de bénéficier ainsi de la connectivité 3G/3G+. Cela peut paraître anodin, mais avec un iPhone 3G, muni d' un plan illimité d' Internet via la 3G, cela permet tout simplement de se connecter au net en l' absence d' autre connexion...

This document describes the protocol used by the Google Data APIs, including information about what a query looks like, what results look like, and so on.

The Google Data APIs provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web. These REST-style APIs are based on the Atom Publishing Protocol (AtomPub), using the standard Atom syndication format to represent data and HTTP to handle communication. The Google Data API protocol also extends AtomPub for processing queries, authentication, batch requests, and providing alternate output formats (JSON, RSS). Many Google services support the Google Data API protocol

The Google Data APIs provide a simple standard protocol for reading and writing data on the web. The Data APIs use either of two standard XML-based syndication formats: Atom or RSS. They also have a feed-publishing system that consists of the Atom publishing protocol plus some extensions (using Atom's standard extension model) for handling queries.

The Atom Publishing Protocol is an important new standard for content publishing and management. In this article, explore a high-level overview of the protocol and its basic operation and capabilities.

Aujourd'hui à la conférence Google I/O (celle ou les participants se sont vu offrir un téléphone HTC Magic, aussi nommé Google Ion, gratuitement), une annonce de Google n'est pas passée inaperçue. Google veut avec Wave (vague en anglais) révolutionner la façon dont on communique sur le net. L'ambition est immense, le projet également, mais l'enthousiasme généré par les développeurs suite à cette annonce donne de grand espoirs. Plus une communauté est active sur un projet, plus celui-ci peut réussir. Google a testé cet effet avec Android, et veut maintenant reproduire le schéma.

What CouchDB is * A document database server, accessible via a RESTful JSON API. * Ad-hoc and schema-free with a flat address space. * Distributed, featuring robust, incremental replication with bi-directional conflict detection and management. * Query-able and index-able, featuring a table oriented reporting engine that uses Javascript as a query language. What it is Not * A relational database. * A replacement for relational databases. * An object-oriented database. Or more specifically, meant to function as a seamless persistence layer for an OO programming language.

I will cover the basics of using the Facebook PHP library and how to get your application started, including: 1. Installing The Facebook Developer Application 2. Downloading The Facebook PHP Client Library 3. Creating Your Application 4. Hello Facebook! Example 5. FBML - Facebook Markup Language 6. Using the Facebook API

I recently tried to get my hands dirty with Facebook application development platform. I know there are a bunch of resources available on the web to help you in the process, but when I was trying get my tiny app to work, I realized there were a few things which aren’t explained too well on http://developer.facebook.com/. I am writing down the step-by-step guide that you can use to create your first Facebook application and join the club!

Alright, just finished my first Facebook app. Some pretty cool functionality they've built there, and it's mostly pretty straightforward to work with, but the documentation is lagging in some areas. Here's a few things I learned along the way, in no particular order - most may seem like no-brainers, but I know I lost some time to most of these!

The Facebook Developer wiki is a reference for developers interested in Facebook Platform. Facebook Platform is a standards-based Web service with methods for accessing and contributing Facebook data. We've made the methods as easy to understand as possible, and this wiki includes full documentation to help you learn more.
