Do You Know What Flash Is? “It's a serious question. During the past few months, volumes and volumes have been written about Flash. It's dead. It's dying. It's lazy, buggy and bloated. It's everywhere. It's efficient, it makes the web work. It's ubiquitous. It creates rich, engaging digital experience. It is going to drive the knowledge commerce economy. It's proprietary. It’s mostly open. It is irrelevant. In its future iterations, it's where the mobile Web is headed.” http://elearningroadtrip.typepad.com/elearning_roadtrip/2010/05/flash- primer-for-non-techies.html The Many Faces of Flash • It's a file format. Most commonly known as SWF. Like PDF for web content. • It's a free media player available on the web. You need it to view SWF files - movies, video, animations. Comes in two forms: Flash Player and AIR. • It provides a way to share animations, interactive content and video on the web. • It's a web animation scripting software, known by the name of Flash Professional. • It provides a Flash-based path for creating Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) • It's a published web specification. • It's the basis of most non-technical authoring for rapid elearning. • It’s the foundation for much of the learning content developed for use over the Web. SWFs have defined eLearning (Almost as much as LMSs have) • “Flash equals SWF” • Many rapid elearning tools produce SWF files. In fact, there are so many SWF tools that there are entire websites dedicated to sharing information about them. • A 2008 survey of Flash tools sponsored by Adobe and conducted by the eLearning Guild showed that 52% of all Flash tools do NOT come from Adobe. • Adobe has a lot of Flash producing tools...Presenter, Captivate, Flash Professional, Connect, Flex to name a few. But there are lots of other SWF tools out there, as well. NOT from Adobe. News Flash: To paraphrase Mark Twain…reports of Flash’s death have been greatly exaggerated. Beyond SWF desktop apps: Rich Internet Applications Users who find a web site difficult to use will simply switch to one that isn’t. “Rich Internet Applications: What’s the Business Case?” Info-Tech Research Group, December 2008 http://www.adobe.com/enterprise/pdfs/infotech-ria-business-case.pdf Data Changes Everything Phil Ice, 2010 http://educomm2010.sched.org/event/a1248128f71ab444a4476052c20f943d Rich Internet Applications - RIAs • Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) enable the creation of user experience (UX) that is more responsive and engaging than those found in traditional web applications • RIAs span a range of technology alternatives: Flex, Ajax, Silverlight • RIAs are based on the premise that a rich productive user experience can be achieved using only standards based technologies built into a modern browser 9 Common use cases for RIAs Customer self-service applications • Intuitive, guided self-service applications lower costs, increase visibility and use, increase overall customer satisfaction • Guided selling applications increase revenues, while reducing errors and returns driving down costs Data visualization • Rich, interactive data visualization simplifies complex data and leads to faster decision making • Dashboards enable real time pulse of critical business metrics, uniting key data from disparate sources • Reduce data entry time up to 40% The Flash Platform The Flash Platform leverages data from any back-end system and exposes it in a rich, easy to use user experience.

  • The Power of Interoperability: Why Objects Are Inevitable

Introduction Three years ago in this venue, Cook argued that in Object-oriented programming has been highly suc- their essence, objects are what Reynolds called proce- cessful in practice, and has arguably become the dom- dural data structures. His observation raises a natural inant programming paradigm for writing applications question: if procedural data structures are the essence software in industry. This success can be documented of objects, has this contributed to the empirical success in many ways. For example, of the top ten program- of objects, and if so, how? ming languages at the LangPop.com index, six are pri- This essay attempts to answer that question. After marily object-oriented, and an additional two (PHP reviewing Cook’s definition, I propose the term ser- and Perl) have object-oriented features.1 The equiva- vice abstractions to capture the essential nature of ob- lent numbers for the top ten languages in the TIOBE in- jects. This terminology emphasizes, following Kay, that dex are six and three.2 SourceForge’s most popular lan- objects are not primarily about representing and ma- guages are Java and C++;3 GitHub’s are JavaScript and nipulating data, but are more about providing ser- Ruby.4 Furthermore, objects’ influence is not limited vices in support of higher-level goals.

  • AVR Simulator
    AVR Simulator Ryan Moore - Colorado State University February 8, 2011 1 Overview The AVR Simulator is designed to simulate the minimal number of instructions that is required to program the MeggyJr RGB device. The simulator can either run in a batch mode, where the assembly program will run to completion or till a system imposed hop count occurs, or in a gui mode where there is visualization for the stack, heap, registers and program space (there is a planned update to include a visualization of the actual device with button presses). The simulator is entirely written in Java and uses several open source api's. The simulator is distributed as an executable jar and does not require any other les/libraries in order to run. Using the Simulator In order to use the simulator you must invoke the java jvm with the jar option: java -jar MJSIM.jar This will invoke the java jvm and execute the simulator in gui mode. The default behavior is to load the gui, and then a user can open an assembly le within the application, and then step through, or run, the assembly program. The default behavior can be modied with dierent command line options. The most important of these is the batch mode option and the le option. To invoke the simulator in batch mode add the -b option after MJSIM.jar: java -jar MJSIM.jar -b This command will invoke the simulator in batch mode. This however will not run. When executing the simulator in batch mode a le is required as well.

  • Imagej2: Imagej for the Next Generation of Scientific Image Data Curtis T
    Rueden et al. BMC Bioinformatics (2017) 18:529 DOI 10.1186/s12859-017-1934-z SOFTWARE Open Access ImageJ2: ImageJ for the next generation of scientific image data Curtis T. Rueden1, Johannes Schindelin1,2, Mark C. Hiner1, Barry E. DeZonia1, Alison E. Walter1,2, Ellen T. Arena1,2 and Kevin W. Eliceiri1,2* Abstract Background: ImageJ is an image analysis program extensively used in the biological sciences and beyond. Due to its ease of use, recordable macro language, and extensible plug-in architecture, ImageJ enjoys contributions from non-programmers, amateur programmers, and professional developers alike. Enabling such a diversity of contributors has resulted in a large community that spans the biological and physical sciences. However, a rapidly growing user base, diverging plugin suites, and technical limitations have revealed a clear need for a concerted software engineering effort to support emerging imaging paradigms, to ensure the software’s ability to handle the requirements of modern science. Results: We rewrote the entire ImageJ codebase, engineering a redesigned plugin mechanism intended to facilitate extensibility at every level, with the goal of creating a more powerful tool that continues to serve the existing community while addressing a wider range of scientific requirements. This next-generation ImageJ, called “ImageJ2” in places where the distinction matters, provides a host of new functionality. It separates concerns, fully decoupling the data model from the user interface. It emphasizes integration with external applications to maximize interoperability. Its robust new plugin framework allows everything from image formats, to scripting languages, to visualization to be extended by the community. The redesigned data model supports arbitrarily large, N-dimensional datasets, which are increasingly common in modern image acquisition.

  • Towards Developing Installable E-Learning Objects Utilizing the Emerging Technologies in Calm Computing and Ubiquitous Learning
    International Journal of uu---- and ee---- Service, Science and Technology Vol. 4, No. 1, March 2011 Towards Developing Installable e-Learning Objects utilizing the Emerging Technologies in Calm Computing and Ubiquitous Learning Jinan Fiaidhi Department of Computer Science, Lakehead University 955 Oliver Road, Thunder Bay, Ontario P7B 5E1, Canada [email protected] Abstract Ubiquitous learning and Calm Computing are hot research topics affecting the field of education for an information-rich world. Calm computing aims to reduce the "excitement" of information overload by letting the learner select what information is at the center of their attention and what information need to be at the peripheral. The objective of calm computing as a new delivery of education is to move e-learning and ubiquitous learning a step further from learning at anytime anywhere to be at the right time and right place with right learning resources and right learning functionalities and collaborative peers. In this paper we report on the adaptation of calm computing technologies in a ubiquitous educational setting with emphasis on the need to cater the preferences of the individual learner to respond to the challenge of providing truly- learner-centered, accessible, personalized and powered with the capability of collaborative learning within a social networking environment. Central to this vision is the development of Installable e-Learning Objects ( Ie_LO ) where learners are able to create, personalize or deploy them over the internet but they do not require the presence of the web browser. Keywords: Installable Internet Applications, Learning Objects, Calm Computing, Ubiquitous Learning 1. Introduction The need for computing in support of education continues to escalate.
