Game On: From Game-Zero to Gaming in No Time - UX Cambridge 2011Ryan Haney
?
Innovation games work and are a great addition to your UX tool-kit. They save time, help to build better products, can help difficult teams to collaborate and generally are more fun. But introducing these games to an unreceptive or even receptive organisation can be a challenge. Knowing which games to use and when to use them, getting stakeholder and team member buy-in, and bringing games out of product definition workshops and in to everyday/weekly meetings can feel like an uphill battle.
In this collaborative session we'll explore ways to overcome these hurdles. We'll look at strategies to get comfortable with playing games as well as ways to get your entire organisation to embrace them.
CSS Frameworks: Faster Layout, Consistent ResultsSteve Hong
?
CSS frameworks allow developers to quickly prototype table-less CSS layouts using pre-made solutions to common problems. This presentation reviews some of the major CSS frameworks and how they can be used to save time and effort in the website development workflow. The discussion will touch on grid design with 960gs, table-less forms with Formy and resetting browser default CSS with YUI, among other topics.
The document discusses CSS frameworks, which aim to abstract routine CSS tasks into reusable modules. It covers the frustrations of CSS development like lack of code reuse. Popular frameworks like Blueprint, 960gs and CSS Scaffold are examined. Frameworks provide advantages like increased productivity but also have disadvantages like creating bloated code and design restrictions. In summary, frameworks can help speed up development and improve designs but are not perfect solutions and building your own comes with further complications.
Drupal Theming with CSS Frameworks (960grid)Ryan Cross

The document discusses CSS frameworks and grid-based design. It introduces CSS frameworks as sets of tools and best practices that abstract routine tasks into reusable modules. Grid-based design uses a grid system to organize content spatially on a page in a clear, meaningful way for users. The document examines specific CSS frameworks, Blueprint and 960gs, and discusses advantages and disadvantages of working with grids, including how grids can facilitate creativity but also impose restrictions. It also explores using the 960gs framework with the Drupal CMS.
The document describes a Java framework called FJTask that supports fork/join parallel programming. FJTask is based on the work-stealing scheduler design from Cilk. It uses a pool of worker threads that each maintain a double-ended queue of tasks. When a worker finishes its tasks, it can "steal" tasks from other workers. FJTask provides lightweight executable tasks instead of using Java threads directly to reduce overhead. It implements efficient double-ended queues and work stealing to allow good parallel performance of fork/join programs in Java.
The document discusses using the 960.gs CSS framework for Drupal theming. It provides an introduction to CSS frameworks and their benefits, including making development easier and more scalable. It then describes the basics of grid-based design and how 960.gs works with 12-column and 16-column grids. It shows some examples of common layouts and how to implement grid classes. Finally, it briefly discusses the NineSixty Drupal theme which implements 960.gs and the ns() function for generating grid classes.
The document discusses design patterns, which are standard solutions to common programming problems that make code more flexible by meeting certain criteria. It provides examples of common design patterns like encapsulation, subclassing, iteration, and exceptions. The document also covers creational design patterns like factories and factory methods that are used to construct objects without specifying the exact class of the object that will be created.
Accelerated grid theming using NineSixty (Drupal Design Camp Boston 2009)Four Kitchens
?
The document summarizes the NineSixty grid theming system for Drupal. It discusses how NineSixty builds upon the existing 960.gs grid framework by adding improvements like content-first layout, dynamic grid widths based on context, debugging tools, and right-to-left language support. It also provides an overview of how grid systems work in general, including the use of columns, gutters, containers, and classes to define grid widths and positions.
This document summarizes a Java framework called FJTask that supports fork/join parallel programming. The key points are:
- FJTask implements a work-stealing scheduler like Cilk, with worker threads maintaining task queues and stealing tasks from each other.
- Tasks are lightweight objects that subclass FJTask rather than Thread, avoiding thread overhead. Worker threads execute tasks from their queues.
- The task queues use double-ended queues (deques) for efficient push/pop and a stealing protocol where idle threads take tasks from random others.
- An example Fibonacci program shows how to write fork/join programs using this framework, achieving much better parallel speedups than standard threading.
This document provides an outline and overview of key concepts in CSS including: where CSS fits with other web technologies; how to program with CSS through trial and error; using the popular Bootstrap framework for responsive design; techniques for responsive and flat design; how SASS extends CSS with features like nesting and variables; common CSS annoyances like cross-browser issues and hacks; and concludes that a basic understanding of CSS is essential for web development.
Accelerated grid theming using NineSixty (DrupalCamp Dallas)Four Kitchens
?
Nathan Smith and Todd Nienkerk presented on using grid systems to accelerate website theming in Drupal. Grid systems have been used in design for nearly a century to bring order and flexibility to page layouts. In web design, grid systems take the form of CSS frameworks that provide standard rules and shortcuts for building layouts through a column-based structure. The 960 grid system, which was created to streamline web development, works on a 12- or 16-column structure within a 960px wide container, allowing designers to quickly prototype and develop responsive, production-ready layouts.
This document summarizes the key topics covered in a CSSDevConf 2016 presentation titled "Knowing it all" by Rachel Andrew. It discusses how the role of front-end developers has evolved over time from basic HTML and CSS skills to now encompassing a wide range of technologies and best practices. The presenter emphasizes that it is impossible to know everything and that front-end developers should focus on mastering core skills before diving into new tools and techniques, and should contribute back to the open web platform by engaging with standards bodies and browser vendors.
The document discusses Nathan Smith's presentation on the 960 Grid System. Some key points:
- Nathan Smith is the principal UI architect at projekt202 and advocates for understanding frameworks as tools rather than "black boxes".
- The 960 Grid System provides commonly used dimensions based on a 960 pixel width with 12 or 16 column variants that can be used separately or together.
- Code examples show how the grid system divides pages into columns and allows for nested grids and column rearranging with CSS classes.
Creating Responsive Drupal Sites with Zen Grids and the Zen 5 ThemeAcquia
?
Too many responsive websites fall into the "move the sidebars around" trap and end up looking the same as any other responsive site. By combining the CSS of Zen Grids and the smart markup of the Zen 5 theme, you can create a stellar, unique responsive design for your website with ease.
Zen has always been a popular starting point for building Drupal themes, but the new Zen 5 has been re-written from the ground-up with updated best practices including HTML5, Modernizr integration, Normalize, IE conditional classes, responsive layouts, and, best of all, Sass and Compass integration.
Zen Grids is an all new project, independent from the Zen theme. The Zen Grids system reinvents the flexible, but complicated CSS layout method in old versions of the Zen theme, transforming it into a radically simplified process using the power of Sass. Where traditional grid systems (like 960.gs) often don't scale to match a responsive design's requirements, Zen Grids makes it incredibly easy to create amazing responsive layouts in just a couple lines of code.
MW2011 Grid-based Web Design presentationCharlie Moad
?
This document discusses the benefits of using grid-based web design. It provides a brief history of grid design and influential designers like Emil Ruder and Josef M¨¹ller-Brockmann. Grids offer benefits to designers, developers, and content authors by providing structure and consistency. A case study of redesigning the Indianapolis Museum of Art's website using a grid is presented. Tools for implementing grids are also reviewed. The document argues that grids will remain a relevant design approach as new devices emerge.
The document discusses the working set model and page fault frequency in operating systems. The working set model defines the set of pages used by a process within a time window. It aims to approximate the program's locality to determine the optimal number of frames to allocate. Page fault frequency is a good indicator of thrashing, with higher frequency suggesting more frames should be allocated.

Automated Engineering of Domain-Specific Metamorphic Testing EnvironmentsPablo G¨®mez Abajo
?
Context. Testing is essential to improve the correctness of software systems. Metamorphic testing (MT) is an approach especially suited when the system under test lacks oracles, or they are expensive to compute. However, building an MT environment for a particular domain (e.g., cloud simulation, model transformation, machine learning) requires substantial effort.
Objective. Our goal is to facilitate the construction of MT environments for specific domains.
Method. We propose a model-driven engineering approach to automate the construction of MT environments. Starting from a meta-model capturing the domain concepts, and a description of the domain execution environment, our approach produces an MT environment featuring comprehensive support for the MT process. This includes the definition of domain-specific metamorphic relations, their evaluation, detailed reporting of the testing results, and the automated search-based generation of follow-up test cases.
Results. Our method is supported by an extensible platform for Eclipse, called Gotten. We demonstrate its effectiveness by creating an MT environment for simulation-based testing of data centres and comparing with existing tools; its suitability to conduct MT processes by replicating previous experiments; and its generality by building another MT environment for video streaming APIs.
Conclusion. Gotten is the first platform targeted at reducing the development effort of domain-specific MT environments. The environments created with Gotten facilitate the specification of metamorphic relations, their evaluation, and the generation of new test cases.
