  • Build Lightning Fast Web Apps with HTML5 and SAS® Allan Bowe, SAS Consultant
    1091-2017 Build Lightning Fast Web Apps with HTML5 and SAS® Allan Bowe, SAS consultant ABSTRACT What do we want? Web applications! When do we want them? Well.. Why not today? This author argues that the key to delivering web apps ‘lightning fast’ can be boiled down to a few simple factors, such as: • Standing on the shoulders (not the toes) of giants. Specifically, learning and leveraging the power of free / open source toolsets such as Google’s Angular, Facebook’s React.js and Twitter Bootstrap • Creating ‘copy paste’ templates for web apps that can be quickly re-used and tweaked for new purposes • Using the right tools for the job (and being familiar with them) By choosing SAS as the back end, your apps will benefit from: • Full blown analytics platform • Access to all kinds of company data • Full SAS metadata security (every server request is metadata validated) By following the approach taken in this paper, you may well find yourself in possession of an electrifying capability to deliver great content and professional-looking web apps faster than one can say “Usain Bolt”. AUDIENCE This paper is aimed at a rare breed of SAS developer – one with both front end (HTML / Javascript) and platform administration (EBI) experience. If you can describe the object of object arrays, the object spawner and the Document Object Model – then this paper is (objectionably?) for you! INTRODUCTION You are about to receive a comprehensive overview of building Enterprise Grade web applications with SAS. Such a framework will enable you to build hitherto unimaginable things.

  • Coil Loop for Exhaust-Air Energy Recovery
    Coil loop for exhaust-air energy recovery An exhaust-air energy-recovery system can reduce utility costs by capturing and using energy that would normally be lost to the Devices (including total- exhaust air stream. energy wheels and heat pipes) other than the coil A coil loop can be applied either to the primary supply-air system loop described here can or to independent systems such as the dedicated ventilation exchange sensible and/or system that serves a laboratory. The effectiveness of the coil latent heat for energy loop typically ranges from 45 percent to 60 percent for recovery. recovering sensible heat. Figure 4–2 illustrates how the coil loop works. During the heating season (Inset A), heat extracted from the exhaust air stream (EA) warms the air brought into the building. Operation of the coil loop is limited to prevent the supply-air temperature from exceeding the cooling set point. (This condition is most likely to occur on mild days during the spring and fall.) Preconditioning the outdoor air (OA) in this manner reduces the heating load, which in turn reduces the energy consumption of the HVAC system. Figure 4–2 Operating modes for coil-loop energy recovery Inset A • winter operation Inset B • summer operation Coil-loop operation reverses during the cooling season (Inset B). Sensible heat is extracted from the air brought into the building and is rejected to the cooler and drier exhaust air stream. This time, preconditioning by the coil loop reduces the cooling load and, in turn, the energy consumption of the HVAC system.

  • Marcia Knous: My Name Is Marcia Knous
    Olivia Ryan: Can you just state your name? Marcia Knous: My name is Marcia Knous. OR: Just give us your general background. How did you come to work at Mozilla and what do you do for Mozilla now? MK: Basically, I started with Mozilla back in the Netscape days. I started working with Mozilla.org shortly after AOL acquired Netscape which I believe was in like the ’99- 2000 timeframe. I started working at Netscape and then in one capacity in HR shortly after I moved working with Mitchell as part of my shared responsibility, I worked for Mozilla.org and sustaining engineering to sustain the communicator legacy code so I supported them administratively. That’s basically what I did for Mozilla. I did a lot of I guess what you kind of call of blue activities where we have a process whereby people get access to our CVS repository so I was the gatekeeper for all the CVS forms and handle all the bugs that were related to CVS requests, that kind of thing. Right now at Mozilla, I do quality assurance and I run both our domestic online store as well as our international store where we sell all of our Mozilla gear. Tom Scheinfeldt: Are you working generally alone in small groups? In large groups? How do you relate to other people working on the project? MK: Well, it’s a rather interesting project. My capacity as a QA person, we basically relate with the community quite a bit because we have a very small internal QA organization.

  • Webbrowser Webpages
    Web Browser A web browser, or simply "browser," is an application used to access and view websites. Common web browsers include Microsoft Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari. The primary function of a web browser is to render HTML, the code used to design or "markup" web pages. Each time a browser loads a web page, it processes the HTML, which may include text, links, and references to images and other items, such as cascading style sheets and JavaScript functions. The browser processes these items, then renders them in the browser window. Early web browsers, such as Mosaic and Netscape Navigator, were simple applications that rendered HTML, processed form input, and supported bookmarks. As websites have evolved, so have web browser requirements. Today's browsers are far more advanced, supporting multiple types of HTML (such as XHTML and HTML 5), dynamic JavaScript, and encryption used by secure websites. The capabilities of modern web browsers allow web developers to create highly interactive websites. For example, Ajax enables a browser to dynamically update information on a webpage without the need to reload the page. Advances in CSS allow browsers to display a responsive website layouts and a wide array of visual effects. Cookies allow browsers to remember your settings for specific websites. While web browser technology has come a long way since Netscape, browser compatibility issues remain a problem. Since browsers use different rendering engines, websites may not appear the same across multiple browsers. In some cases, a website may work fine in one browser, but not function properly in another.

  • EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Dymamic Web Page Creation
    Language Learning & Technology January 1998, Volume 1, Number 2 http://llt.msu.edu/vol1num2/emerging/ pp. 9-15 (page numbers in PDF differ and should not be used for reference) EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Dymamic Web Page Creation Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University Contents: • Plug-ins and Applets • JavaScript • Dynamic HTML and Style Sheets • Instructional Uses • Resource List While remaining a powerful repository of information, the Web is being transformed into a medium for creating truly interactive learning environments, leading toward a convergence of Internet connectivity with the functionality of traditional multimedia authoring tools like HyperCard, Toolbook, and Authorware. Certainly it is not fully interactive yet, but that is undeniably the trend as manifested in the latest (version 4) Web browsers. "Dynamic HTML," incorporated into the new browsers, joins plug-ins, Web forms, Java applets, and JavaScript as options for Web interactivity. Plug-ins and Applets While Web pages are beginning to behave more like interactive applications, traditional authoring tools are themselves becoming Internet-savvy, primarily through the use of "plug-in" versions of players which integrate with Web browsers. The most commonly used plug-in today is Macromedia's "Shockwave," used to Web-enable such applications as Director, Authorware, and Flash. "Shocked" Web pages can be very interactive and provide a visually appealing means of interacting with users (as in some sample ESL exercises from Jim Duber). Plug-ins are easy to use -- they just need to be downloaded and installed. Some come bundled with Netscape and Microsoft's browsers, which simplifies considerably the installation process (and gives developers the confidence that most users will actually have the plug-in installed).
