Introduction Overview This site provides documentation, training, and other notes for the Jekyll Documentation theme. There's a lot of information about how to do a variety of things here, and it's not all unique to this theme. But by and large, understanding how to do things in Jekyll depends on how your theme is coded. As a result, these additional details are provided. The instructions here are geared towards technical writers working on documentation. You may have a team of one or more technical writers working on documentation for multiple projects. You can use this same theme to author all of your documentation for each of your products. The theme is set up to push out documentation for multiple projects all from the same source. You can also share content across projects. Survey of features Some of the more prominent features of this theme include the following: • Bootstrap framework • Sidebar for table of contents • Top navigation bar with drop-down menus • PDF generation (through Prince XML utility) • Build scripts to automate the workflow • Notes, tips, and warning information notes • A nifty system for creating links to different pages • Tags for alternative nativation • Content sharing across projects • Emphasis on pages, not posts • Relative (rather than absolute) link structure, so you can push the outputs anywhere and easily view them Jekyll theme for documentation — designers User Guide Page 1 Introduction PDF last generated: December 02, 2015 I'm using this theme for my documentation projects, building about 20 different outputs for various products, versions, languages, and audiences from the same set of files. This single sourcing requirement has influenced how I constructed this theme. For more discussion about the available features, see Supported features (page 3). Getting started To get started, see these three topics: 1. Getting started with this theme (page 8) 2. Setting configuration options (page 17) 3. Adding new projects (page 12) PDF Download Option for Help Material If you would like to download this help file as a PDF, you can do

  • Gitlab Letsencrypt and Certbot
    Gitlab and Certbot – Lets Encrypt SSL and HTTPS In this post we will talk about HTTPS and how to add it to your GitLab Pages site with Let's Encrypt. Why TLS/SSL? When discussing HTTPS, it's common to hear people saying that a static website doesn't need HTTPS, since it doesn't receive any POST requests, or isn't handling credit card transactions or any other secure request. But that's not the whole story. TLS (formerly SSL) is a security protocol that can be added to HTTP to increase the security of your website by: 1. properly authenticating yourself: the client can trust that you are really you. The TLS handshake that is made at the beginning of the connection ensures the client that no one is trying to impersonate you; 2. data integrity: this ensures that no one has tampered with the data in a request/response cycle; 3. encryption: this is the main selling point of TLS, but the other two are just as important. This protects the privacy of the communication between client and server. The TLS layer can be added to other protocols too, such as FTP (making it FTPS) or WebSockets (making ws://wss://). HTTPS Everywhere Nowadays, there is a strong push for using TLS on every website. The ultimate goal is to make the web safer, by adding those three components cited above to every website. The first big player was the HTTPS Everywhere browser extension. Google has also been using HTTPS compliance to better rank websites since 2014. TLS certificates In order to add TLS to HTTP, one would need to get a certificate, and until 2015, one would need to either pay for it or figure out how to do it with one of the available Certificate Authorities.

    ALGOHUB: A WEBSITE OF ALGORITHMS A Project Presented to the Faculty of California State Polytechnic University, Pomona In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science In Computer Science By Liang Zhang 2017 SIGNATURE PAGE PROJECT: ALGOHUB: A WEBSITE OF ALGORITHMS AUTHOR: Liang Zhang DATESUBMITTED: Fall 2017 Computer Science Department Dr. Gilbert S. Young Project Committee Chair Computer Science Dr. Hao Ji Computer Science ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First, I would like to thank my wife, Yatong Liang, for her supporting not only on my study, but also in all aspects of my life. Thanks all the professors I have met in CalPoly Pomona, especially Dr. Young, and Dr. Ji, who taught me knowledge, tutored my research, and encouraged me overcoming the barricades. Last but not the least, thanks all the developers, who are contributing to the open source projects, for building so many wonderful software. Without your works, I couldn’t have finished my project. iii ABSTRACT In this project, a website (AlgoHub) is implemented, which mainly hosts contents of algorithms, such as title, algorithm description, applications, and so on. From the functionality perspective, modules like adding, modifying, searching, fulfills the requirements of different groups of users (students, teachers, software engineers, and etc.) who are interested in algorithms. From the technology perspective, the system architecture of AlgoHub is designed to achieve high performance and scalability according to the nature of this application. During the implementation, rather than building a website from scratch, many practically proved technologies and existing components, such as Jekyll, Jenkins, Git, and so on, are utilized after being carefully evaluated.

  • EIC Software Website: an Update
    The EICUG Software Website - an update Maxim Potekhin (BNL, NPPS) 09/02/2020 Why are we here? ● For many organizations their website is an important tool and an asset. ● Moreso for knowledge-intensive fields like ours. ● Let’s take stock of where we are with the website, decide on what can be improved or changed, and define items for future development. ● The content is a separate topic, these slides are mostly “how-to”. 2 Overview ● The website has been online for ~6 months https://eic.github.io/ ● See presentation from April 2020 for intro and general idea of the site ○ https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1WCVlVNZldHm8exHJBhILLngr9yEXHUP1w_BdwB4F41s/edit?usp=sharing ● Healthy level of contributions to the site from the team members ○ A proof that the system is reasonably user friendly ● Changes to the layout can be done quite quickly ○ Not a problem to create a new skin, menu, color scheme, layout etc ● GitHub based ○ Free hosting with service level we are happy with for now ○ Pull requests make collaboration easy ● How are things looking going forward? What have we learned? 3 Updated layout/menus - recent changes 4 Updated layout/menus, cont’d 5 The platform ● Static site = security + performance. ● Template-based, hence separation of content and layout ● Jekyll is one of a few available static website generators. ● Markdown/Jekyll/Liquid/Bootstrap + GitHub. ● Jekyll does allow for a fairly liberal mix of HTML and MD for considerable flexibility ○ ...with a few caveats ● YAML, CSV and JSON files containing configuration and data are transparently parsed - creating data structures in an intuitive way ○ Example: migration of data from Postgres requires one line of sql and nothing else ● Manipulation of structured data is perhaps the most important feature.

    Cross-Platform Software Developer Expertise Learning by Norbert Eke A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computer Science in Computer Science with Specialization in Data Science Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario c 2020 Norbert Eke The undersigned recommend to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs acceptance of the Thesis Cross-Platform Software Developer Expertise Learning Submitted by Norbert Eke in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Computer Science Dr. Olga Baysal, Thesis Supervisor Dr. Majid Komeili, Internal Examiner Dr. Diana Inkpen, External Examiner Dr. Ahmed El-Roby, Chair of Defence Dr. Michel Barbeau, Department Chair Carleton University 2020 ii Abstract In today's world software development is a competitive field. Being an expert gives software engineers opportunities to find better, higher-paying jobs. Recruiters are always searching for the right talent, but it is difficult to determine the expertise of a developer only from reviewing their resume. To solve this problem expertise detection algorithms are needed. A few problems arise when expertise is put into application: how can developer expertise be defined, measured, extracted or even learnt? Our work is attempting to provide recruiters a data-driven alternative to reading the candidate's CV or resume. In this thesis, we propose three novel topic modeling based, robust, data-driven techniques for expertise learning. Our extensive analysis of cross-platform developer expertise suggests that using multiple collaborative platforms is the optimal path towards gaining more knowledge and becoming an expert, as cross-platform expertise tends to be more diverse, thus creating opportunities for more effective learning by collaboration.

  • Next-Generation Academic Websites in Jekyll
    Next-generation academic websites in Jekyll Speaker: UCCSC! Peter Werba 2014 How do we share information in the modern era? Websites! wikipedia.org ucsf.edu nytimes.com A lot has changed 1999 2014 How do we make sure that our websites are: • available 24/7 (even with heavy traffic)! • easy to create, edit, and maintain! • scalable How did we work! last decade? • Dynamically generated pages in CMS systems! • Maintain our own servers and databases ! • HTML often edited in the browser What are the problems? • Configuring & maintaining servers & databases = HARD! • Editing HTML source = HARD We can do better! In fact, the software industry has moved on! What do they do? 1. HTML → TXT (with Markdown) 2. Dynamic → Static (with Jekyll) 3. Servers → Hosted (with GitHub) 1. What is Markdown? TXT files with! simple syntax that ! compile to HTML HTML MARKDOWN Why use Markdown? • Simple, fast, clean! • Portable to other formats! • Supports raw HTML (if you need to do something complicated)! • Widespread (and growing) adoption 2. What is Jekyll? Jekyll is a “static site” generator that converts source files! (markdown, etc.)! into a website Basics about Jekyll • Simple to install as a Ruby Gem, but no Ruby coding knowledge is required for use.! • Converts your code and Markdown posts into HTML! • An elegant and simple way to publish to the web. Why use Jekyll • SAFE from Denial of Service Attacks.! • SAFE from caving under heavy traffic (if served from GitHub pages or a CDN like cloudfront).! • SAFE from MySQL injection attacks (because it doesn't use a database).! • It needs NO security patches or updates.! • It doesn't need any special server script software (like php,python or ruby or perl etc).
