  • John Athayde and Bruce Williams — «The Rails View
    What readers are saying about The Rails View This is a must-read for Rails developers looking to juice up their skills for a world of web apps that increasingly includes mobile browsers and a lot more JavaScript. ➤ Yehuda Katz Driving force behind Rails 3.0 and Co-founder, Tilde In the past several years, I’ve been privileged to work with some of the world’s leading Rails developers. If asked to name the best view-layer Rails developer I’ve met, I’d have a hard time picking between two names: Bruce Williams and John Athayde. This book is a rare opportunity to look into the minds of two of the leading experts on an area that receives far too little attention. Read, apply, and reread. ➤ Chad Fowler VP Engineering, LivingSocial Finally! An authoritative and up-to-date guide to everything view-related in Rails 3. If you’re stabbing in the dark when putting together your Rails apps’ views, The Rails View provides a big confidence boost and shows how to get things done the right way. ➤ Peter Cooper Editor, Ruby Inside and Ruby Weekly The Rails view layer has always been a morass, but this book reins it in with details of how to build views as software, not just as markup. This book represents the wisdom gained from years’ worth of building maintainable interfaces by two of the best and brightest minds in our business. I have been writing Ruby code for over a decade and Rails code since its inception, and out of all the Ruby books I’ve read, I value this one the most.

All other elements must be descendants of this element. Example: <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head>...</head> <body>...</body> </html> Document metadata <head> … </head> The HTML <head> element contains machine-readable information (metadata) about the document, like its title, scripts, and style sheets. <link> The HTML External Resource Link element (<link>) specifies relationships between the current document and an external resource. This element is most commonly used to link to stylesheets, but is also used to establish site icons (both "favicon" style icons and icons for the home screen and apps on mobile devices) among other things. <meta> The HTML <meta> element represents metadata that cannot be represented by other HTML meta-related elements, like <base>, <link>, <script>, <style> or <title> <style> … </style> The HTML <style> element contains style information for a document, or part of a document. <title> … </title> The HTML Title element (<title>) defines the document's title that is shown in a browser's title bar or a page's tab.

  • Focus Styles
    Searching accessible components Sami Keijonen Recourses ● Guide to accessible components in Smashing Magazine. ● WAI-ARIA practises. ● Scott O’Haras accessible components. Components like (1/2) ● Focus styles ● Navigation ● Icon only components (social links) ● “Cards” (image, heading, text linking to article) ● Modal dialogs Components like (2/2) ● Accordion ● Tabs ● Styling checkboxes and radio buttons ● “Autocomplete” (dynamic search results) A11y Figma Kit ● A11y Figma Kit for inspiration and reminder. ○ Article explaining the a11y Figma Kit. ● Accessibility plugins for Figma. Focus styles ● All interactive elements (links, form elements etc.) should have focus styles. ○ Crucial for keyboard users. ● Remember to style focus styles in design process (not just hover). In WCAG 2.1 there is only color contrast 3:1 guideline. :focus { Focus styles outline: 0.25rem solid #222; } Color contrast? In 2.2 draft there are also guidelines for change of contrast and minimum area. Focus styles Note that if box-shadow is used, still use transparent outline for WIN high contrast mode. Good examples Never use :focus { outline: 0 } CSS :focus { box-shadow: ... outline: 0.25rem solid transparent; } :focus-visible is for that and now also Safari 14.1 supports it. // Base focus styles :focus { outline: 0.25em solid $color; Focus styles outline-offset: 0.25em; } What about when focus styles // Be careful to remove focus styles are triggered also using mouse // for “mouse” users. click? :focus:not(:focus-visible) { outline: none; More about focus styles. } <nav> <ul> Navigation <li><a href=”url”>Link 1</a></li> <li><a href=”url”>Link 2</a></li> </ul> Start with semantic markup </nav> Navigation <nav aria-label=”Main”> If there are several <ul> navigation, it’s good to add <li><a href=”url”>Link 1</a></li> name using aria-label <li><a href=”url”>Link 2</a></li> attribute.

  • Enriching Unstructured Media Content About Events to Enable Semi-Automated Summaries, Compilations, and Improved Search by Leveraging Social Networks
    Enriching Unstructured Media Content About Events to Enable Semi-Automated Summaries, Compilations, and Improved Search by Leveraging Social Networks Thomas Steiner Departament de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informàtics Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya A thesis submitted for the degree of Philosophiæ Doctor (PhD) February 2014 1st Advisor: Joaquim Gabarró Vallés Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Barcelona, Spain 2nd Advisor: Michael Hausenblas Digital Enterprise Research Institute, Galway, Ireland MapR Technologies, San Jose, CA, USA ii Abstract (i) Mobile devices and social networks are omnipresent Mobile devices such as smartphones, tablets, or digital cameras together with social networks enable people to create, share, and consume enormous amounts of media items like videos or photos both on the road or at home. Such mobile devices—by pure definition—accompany their owners almost wherever they may go. In consequence, mobile devices are omnipresent at all sorts of events to capture noteworthy moments. Exemplary events can be keynote speeches at conferences, music concerts in stadiums, or even natural catastrophes like earthquakes that affect whole areas or countries. At such events—given a stable network connection—part of the event-related media items are published on social networks both as the event happens or afterwards, once a stable network connection has been established again. (ii) Finding representative media items for an event is hard Common media item search operations, for example, searching for the of- ficial video clip for a certain hit record on an online video platform can in the simplest case be achieved based on potentially shallow human-generated metadata or based on more profound content analysis techniques like optical character recognition, automatic speech recognition, or acoustic fingerprint- ing.
