"My favorite metaphor for the current world transition, first pointed out to me by Norie Huddle (Butterfly, 1990), is that of a butterfly in metamorphosis.
It goes like this: A caterpillar crunches its way through its ecosystem, cutting a swath of destruction by eating as much as hundreds of times its weight in a day, until it is too bloated to continue and hangs itself up, its skin then hardening into a chrysalis.
Inside this chrysalis, deep in the caterpillar's body, tiny things biologists call 'imaginal disks' begin to form. Not recognizing the newcomers, the caterpillar's immune system snuffs them as they arise. But they keep coming faster and faster, then linking up with each other.
Eventually the caterpillar's immune system fails from the stress and the disks become imaginal cells that build the butterfly by feeding on the soupy meltdown of the caterpillar's body.
It took a long time for biologists to understand the reason for the immune system attack on the incipient butterfly cells, but eventually they discovered that the butterfly has its own unique genome, carried by the caterpillar, inherited from long ago in evolution, yet not part of it as such (Margulis & Sagan, Acquiring Genomes 2002).
If we see ourselves as imaginal discs working to build the butterfly of a better world, we will understand that we are launching a new 'genome' of values and practices to replace that of the current unsustainable system. We will also see how important it is to link with each other in the effort, to recognize how many different kinds of imaginal cells it will take to build a butterfly with all its capabilities and colors."

The Ladder Platform below was designed for maintenance on 3 types. This new type of design allows the maintenance engineers to remove and add sections of the working deck when they need access to specific parts of the Platform.
In the last edition we learnt that user experience (UX) defines the manner in which an individual responds when interacting and interfacing with a system. These systems encompass a wide range and they include websites, web applications and desktop software. All of this has been classified as coming under the ambit of human-computer interaction (HCI).
We now know that the success, or the lack thereof, among handheld devices depends largely on whether pre and post-installed apps are intuitive. After all, reputation counts for much in this industry. However, in their blind rush to get their applications out in the market, developers tend to neglect the searing need for gratifying user experiences.

According to Yahoo!'s Exceptional Performance Team, 40% to 60% of Yahoo!'s users have an empty cache experience and about 20% of all page views are done with an empty cache (see this article by Tenni Theurer on the YUIBlog for more information on browser cache usage). This fact outlines the importance of keeping web pages as lightweight as possible. Improving the engineering design of a page or a web application usually yields the biggest savings and that should always be a primary strategy. With the right design in place, there are many secondary strategies for improving performance such as minification of the code, HTTP compression, using CSS sprites, etc.
In terms of code minification, the most widely used tools to minify JavaScript code are Douglas Crockford's JSMIN, the Dojo compressor and Dean Edwards' Packer. Each of these tools, however, has drawbacks. JSMIN, for example, does not yield optimal savings (due to its simple algorithm, it must leave many line feed characters in the code in order not to introduce any new bugs).
The goal of JavaScript and CSS minification is always to preserve the operational qualities of the code while reducing its overall byte footprint (both in raw terms and after gzipping, as most JavaScript and CSS served from production web servers is gzipped as part of the HTTP protocol). The YUI Compressor is JavaScript minifier designed to be 100% safe and yield a higher compression ratio than most other tools. Tests on the YUI Library have shown savings of over 20% compared to JSMin (becoming 10% after HTTP compression). Starting with version 2.0, the YUI Compressor is also able to compress CSS files by using a port of Isaac Schlueter's regular-expression-based CSS minifier.
SmartGWT is easy to setup and I simply can't understand why they don't add a few lines into their Getting Started page. Yesterday I found obsolete SmartGWT setup tutorial - but it still works with only one thing missing. As someone mentioned in comments there, you need to add following code into your HTML (before script with your GWT module):
Besides this you only need one inherit in your GWT Module XML:
And of course - add smartgwt.jar on your classpath for GWT compiler. That's it - now you know how to setup SmartGWT project. (Of course I omitted the coding part, but there is a Showcase with examples.) That's the missing Getting Started. A few lines instead of many links mostly for Eclipse users - with some links not even related to SmartGWT at all.
My view of GWT is changing. When I wrote 5 GWT Anti-Patterns I saw it as the framework controlling my entire application. Now it's my glue.
GWT is a wonderful foundation holding together the different parts of your application. It can grow and expand to new technologies and uses we haven't thought of yet, but it can also hold us back. You can get stuck in GWT and never find your way out.
Each of these four anti-patterns addresses different ways to write code you wish you hadn't. The solutions are all about opening doors instead of closing them.
The Dependent Web is dominated by companies that deliver services, content and advertising based on who that service believes you to be: What you see on these sites "depends" on their proprietary model of your identity, including what you've done in the past, what you're doing right now, what "cohorts" you might fall into based on third- or first-party data and algorithms, and any number of other robust signals.
The Independent Web, for the most part, does not shift its content or services based on who you are.
Who we believe we are in the world is pretty fundamental to being human, and as we bleed our actual identity into our digital one, it's worth recalling that so far, at least, we don't have a system that lets us really instrument who we are online in a fashion that scales to the complexity of true human interaction.
I sense an opportunity to create a new kind of social identity..one that is far more personal and instrumented...
Apache Solr is an open source, primarily HTTP-based, search server based on Apache Lucene. In 2007, I introduced Solr to developerWorks readers in the two-part Search smarter with Apache Solr series. With the recent release of Solr 1.3, the time is right to follow up with details about many of the new features and enhancements made since then.
People love Twitter, and they love Firefox, so it only seems natural that there would be quite a few tools to merge these two items.Whether you want to have a full Twitter client inside of your browser, or just the ability to share parts of a site, a whole Web page or just the URL of the site you are reading, there is a tool for you. Take a look through these 20+ tools and there is sure to be something that appeals to you.
Mastering PLR simulcast with Doug Champigny, The PLR Master was quite well received but unfortunately we had more questions than we had time. Due to that limitation we had to stop the call and schedule follow up.
What we didn't have time to discuss last Wednesday will be uncovered tonight! And only if you participate in live call you can access that info for free:

Autocomplete was one of the first Ajax patterns to come about. We often talk about how it looks, but the how it works part is what really matters. How smart is the algorithm to work out what you are completing against? How long do you go before you kick in to see a result? Does it narrow enough?
What is RSS?
RSS, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, is an XML-based format for sharing and distributing Web content, such as news headlines. Using an RSS reader, you can view data feeds from various news sources, such as CNN.com, including headlines, summaries, and links to full stories. RSS, part of a family of web feed formats, is also used to publish frequently updated content such as blog entries, news headlines or podcasts.
