BrowsrCamp Web 3.0: When Web Sites Become Web Services Today's Web has terabytes of information available to humans, but hidden from computers. It is a paradox that information is stuck inside HTML pages, formatted in esoteric ways that are difficult for machines to process. The so called Web 3.0, which is likely to be a pre-cursor of the real semantic web, is going to change this. What we mean by 'Web 3.0' is that major web sites are going to be transformed into web services - and will effectively expose their information to the world. The transformation will happen in one of two ways. The Amazon E-Commerce API - open access to Amazon's catalog We have written here before about Amazon's visionary WebOS strategy. Why has Amazon offered this service completely free? The rise of the API culture The web 2.0 poster child, del.icio.us, is also famous as one of the first companies to open a subset of its web site functionality via an API. Standardized URLs - the API without an API So how do these services get around the fact that there is no API?

Snippets: Synchronous AJAX Filed: Wed, Mar 28 2007 under Programming|| Tags: ajax synchronous javascript post get For almost every situation under the sun, moon, and stars above you will want to use Asynchronous Ajax -- that is just a given. There are, however, some situations where Synchronous Ajax is mandatory, so it can be worthwhile getting a basic handle on how this technology works. Asynchronous AJAX Asynchronous AJAX will initiate a request for a file and then return control to the browser until, at some undetermined point in the future, the server finishes transmitting the request to the browser. If anything goes wrong in the request and/or transfer of the file, your program still has the ability to recognize the problem and recover from it.

It is to be readily available to anyone who wishes to check the iterative progress of our best practices. This document's primary motivation is two- fold: 1) code consistency and 2) best practices. By maintaining consistency in coding styles and conventions, we can ease the burden of legacy code maintenance, and mitigate risk of breakage in the future. By adhering to best practices, we ensure optimized page loading, performance and maintainable code. Pillars of Front-end Development◊ General Practices◊ Indentation◊ For all code languages, we require indentation to be done via soft tabs (using the space character). Readability vs Compression◊ We prefer readability over file-size savings when it comes to maintaining existing files. The first component of any web page is the tag-based markup language of HTML. HTML5 is a new version of HTML and XHTML. 1. 1. 1.
Freedom In the Cloud Event records It’s a pleasure to be here. I would love to think that the reason that we’re all here on a Friday night is that my speeches are so good. I actually have no idea why we’re all here on a Friday night but I’m very grateful for the invitation. I am the person who had no date tonight so it was particularly convenient that I was invited for now. So, of course, I didn’t have any date tonight. The problem is that problem. But that’s the only reason we don’t know, because they haven’t told us. And you get free email service and some storage which is worth exactly a penny and a half at the current price of storage and you get spying all the time. And for free, too. And your calendar is on the Web and everybody can see whether you have a date Friday night and you have a status - “looking” - and you get a service for free, of advertising “single: looking”. OF course, it never really really really worked out that way. Now, one more thing happened about that time.
