  • What Is Dart?
    1 Dart in Action By Chris Buckett As a language on its own, Dart might be just another language, but when you take into account the whole Dart ecosystem, Dart represents an exciting prospect in the world of web development. In this green paper based on Dart in Action, author Chris Buckett explains how Dart, with its ability to either run natively or be converted to JavaScript and coupled with HTML5 is an ideal solution for building web applications that do not need external plugins to provide all the features. You may also be interested in… What is Dart? The quick answer to the question of what Dart is that it is an open-source structured programming language for creating complex browser based web applications. You can run applications created in Dart by either using a browser that directly supports Dart code, or by converting your Dart code to JavaScript (which happens seamlessly). It is class based, optionally typed, and single threaded (but supports multiple threads through a mechanism called isolates) and has a familiar syntax. In addition to running in browsers, you can also run Dart code on the server, hosted in the Dart virtual machine. The language itself is very similar to Java, C#, and JavaScript. One of the primary goals of the Dart developers is that the language seems familiar. This is a tiny dart script: main() { #A var d = “Dart”; #B String w = “World”; #C print(“Hello ${d} ${w}”); #D } #A Single entry point function main() executes when the script is fully loaded #B Optional typing (no type specified) #C Static typing (String type specified) #D Outputs “Hello Dart World” to the browser console or stdout This script can be embedded within <script type=“application/dart”> tags and run in the Dartium experimental browser, converted to JavaScript using the Frog tool and run in all modern browsers, or saved to a .dart file and run directly on the server using the dart virtual machine executable.

Æ A simple explanation of Web 2.0 (3 minute video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LzQIUANnHc&feature=related Æ A complex explanation of Web 2.0 (5 minute video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsa5ZTRJQ5w&feature=related Æ An interesting, fast-paced video about Web.2.0 (4:30 minute video): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLlGopyXT_g Web 2.0 is a term that describes the changing trends in the use of World Wide Web technology and Web design that aim to enhance creativity, secure information sharing, increase collaboration, and improve the functionality of the Web as we know it (Web 1.0). These have led to the development and evolution of Web-based communities and hosted services, such as social-networking sites (i.e. Facebook, MySpace), video sharing sites (i.e. YouTube), wikis, blogs, etc. Although the term suggests a new version of the World Wide Web, it does not refer to any actual change in technical specifications, but rather to changes in the ways software developers and end- users utilize the Web. Web 2.0 is a catch-all term used to describe a variety of developments on the Web and a perceived shift in the way it is used. This shift can be characterized as the evolution of Web use from passive consumption of content to more active participation, creation and sharing. Web 2.0 Websites allow users to do more than just retrieve information.

  • Picasa Getting Started Guide
    Picasa Getting Started Guide Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos in seconds. We recommend that you print out this brief overview of Picasa's main features and consult it as you use the program for the first time to learn about new features quickly. Organize Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. Picasa finds the following photo and movie file types: • Photo file types: JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PNG, BMP, RAW (including NEF and CRW). GIF and PNG files are not scanned by default, but you can enable them in the Tools > Options dialog. • Movie file types: MPG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV. If you are upgrading from an older version of Picasa, you will likely want to keep your existing database, which contains any organization and photo edits you have made. To transfer all this information, simply install Picasa without uninstalling Picasa already on your computer. On your first launch of Picasa you will be prompted to transfer your existing database. After this process is complete, you can uninstall Picasa. Library view Picasa automatically organizes all your photo and movie files into collections of folders inside its main Library view. Layout of main Library screen: Picasa Getting Started Guide Page 1 of 9 Folder list The left-hand list in Picasa's Library view shows all the folders containing photos on your computer and all the albums you've created in Picasa.

  • The Dynamic Features of Delicious, Flickr and Youtub

[email protected] [email protected] Abstract – This article investigates the dynamic features of social tagging vocabularies in Delicious, Flickr and YouTube from 2003 to 2008. Three algorithms are designed to study the macro and micro tag growth as well as dynamics of taggers’ activities respectively. Moreover, we propose a Tagger Tag Resource LDA (TTR-LDA) model to explore the evolution of topics emerging from those social vocabularies. Our results show that (1) at the macro level, tag growth in all the three tagging systems obeys power-law distribution with exponents lower than one; at the micro level, the tag growth of popular resources in all three tagging systems follows a similar power-law distribution; (2) the exponents of tag growth vary in different evolving stages of resources; (3) the growth of number of taggers associated with different popular resources presents a feature of convergence over time; (4) the active level of taggers has a positive correlation with the macro-tag growth of different tagging systems; and (5) some topics evolve into several sub-topics over time, while others experience relatively stable stages in which their contents do not change much, and certain groups of taggers continue their interests in them.

  • A Social Media Guide for Farmers
    A Social Media Guide for Farmers Introduction What is social media? Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, TikTok — “social media” is the collective term for these websites and applications. Unlike traditional media, where a single author or organization talks to a passive audience, social media serves as a place for public conversations between many users. People use social media to share and discuss their daily lives, including their buying habits, with friends and family: it’s online word-of-mouth, available for free to anyone. And just like word-of-mouth, social media can have a huge impact on the success of your business. Why does social media benefit my business? You should care about social media because your customers do. Of all adults in the US, 68 percent use Facebook, and 66 percent of those users visit the site every day. A third of all US adults use sites such as Instagram and Pinterest. Among millennials, over 90 percent regularly use social media. Simply put, the people who will buy from you spend a lot of time looking at social media. You should make sure your business is in front of their eyes. How do I use it? The most important thing to remember about social media is that your business shares the same space as your customers’ friends. Whatever you do must compete with the daily activities and interests of those personal networks. Instead of simply promoting your business, your goal on social media should be to build a community and participate in conversations. People enjoy learning about the day-to-day stories and interests of your business much more than they enjoy advertising.
