IEEE-USA Today's Engineer

Hinkle If you read surveys about the highest paying jobs in the United States, you'll notice that the median salary for engineering managers ranks not too far behind doctors, attorneys and CEOs (typical CEO base salary, not the extreme high end of the scale that often makes the news). HTML5 vs. Apps: Why The Debate Matters, And Who Will Win. Roy. Google, Microsoft, Facebook and Others Launch Web Platform Docs, A Web Standards Documentation Site. A number of leading browser vendors and other tech companies, including Microsoft, Google, Apple, Adobe, Facebook, HP, Nokia, Mozilla, Opera and the W3C, just announced the launch of the Web Platform Docs project at WebPlatform.org.

The project aims to create “a new, authoritative open web standards documentation site,” says Opera Software. The wiki-like site, says Opera, wants to ensure that developers can easily find “accurate, quality information on all the latest HTML5, CSS4 and other standards features across the multitude of available web-based resources.” Currently, the companies behind WebPlatform.org argue, developers struggle to find authoritative answers to their questions about modern web technologies and often, developers have to resort to figuring out the right solutions through trial and error (the Google team describes this as a “scavenger hunt”).

W.T.F.M: Write The Freaking Manual - Floopsy. W.T.F.M: Write The Freaking Manual I will take this moment to reflect on what has been an epic exercise in utter frustration: Sifting through poorly written documentation or tutorials for an otherwise excellent programming language, framework, project, etc.

How to Build an Excellent Web or Mobile App. Sorting and searching at the library. Amazon S3 - Cross Origin Resource Sharing Support. Why CORS?

Amazon S3 - Cross Origin Resource Sharing Support

In order to keep your content safe, your web browser implements something called the same origin policy. The default policy ensures that scripts and other active content loaded from one site or domain cannot interfere or interact with content from another location without an explicit indication that this is the desired behavior. In certain cases, the developer of the original page might have legitimate reasons to write code that interacts with content or services at other locations.

CORS provides the mechanism to allow the developer to tell the browser to allow this interaction. Amazon Web Services Adds Long Requested Web Browser Specification. Amazon Web Services (AWS) added support today for a browser specification that defines ways for apps to allow resources to be accessed by web pages from different domains.

WebRTC is almost here, and it will change the web. Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) is a new HTML5 standard framework that enables the sharing of video, audio, and data directly between web browsers.

WebRTC is almost here, and it will change the web

These capabilities open the door to a new wave of advanced web applications. If all goes according to plan, over 50% of all web browsers will support this capability in the next three to four months. This is the most significant step forward in web browser connectivity since 2004, when Google launched Gmail and AJAX was coined. The Asynchronous Javascript and XML (AJAX) approach enabled developers to update the components of a page without the need for full page reloads. Stack Overflow. Natefaubion/matches.js.

I build High Availability Platforms so Cloud is not for me. Ever since someone first tried to represent the idea of packet switched network that was resilient to failure they probably used a picture of a cloud. Cisco’s official iconography for such a network is a cloud. It has been taken for granted for quite some time that if you throw a TCP packet at the Internet somehow it’ll get there and you don’t have to worry about it.

Back before some Cloud Evangelists I’ve met were even old enough to buy a drink we had SETI which could leverage distributed computing that was available on demand and was just ‘out there somewhere’ it’s not new. So now Cloud is synonymous with computing platforms that offer high availability, scalability and are resilient but the truth of the matter is that there aren’t. Cloud is great for people that want easy scalability, easy resilience and easy peace of mind. Node.js. 5.9. Calculating the clustering coefficient of a network. Figure 5.10.
