10 Worst Mistakes in SharePoint BrandingMarcy Kellar
油
Earlier this year I wrote a blog on the Top 10 Mistakes in SharePoint 2010 Branding and UI Design (http://bit.ly/ITzlJl) and had such an overwhelming response that I wanted to present it to the community. I brought in a front end developer (Tom Daly) and a Developer (Mike Mukalian) to help me convey the different perpsectives that each of our roles takes. My original list of mistakes changed a bit when we brainstormed on overall cost and commonality of branding messes. I still stand by my original listing in the blog but by adding different roles in the mix, we were able to provide a depth of experience to support these 10 costly and common mistakes in SharePoint Branding and UI Development.足

Writing for the Webdemhi
油
The document provides tips for writing effectively for the web. Some key differences when writing for the web include web users scanning pages quickly looking for key points and moving on if they don't find the content they want. Good web writing is written for the users, not committees. When writing for the web, it is important to get to the point quickly, use clear simple language, write conversationally in an informal tone, ask questions, and provide context on each page without assuming the user viewed other pages. Content should be "chunked" into manageable pieces using lists, short paragraphs and potentially multiple pages. Headings, links, and search engine optimization are also discussed.Web Development Tools

油
The document discusses tools that can help churches build maintainable websites. It notes that many church websites become outdated due to lack of resources or planning for ongoing maintenance. Traditional website development tools require technical skills that not all editors have. Blogging platforms like WordPress allow multiple authors to easily update content and have thousands of free templates. However, they impose a blog-style structure. More advanced content management systems (CMS) like Joomla provide more flexibility but are more complex. New "Web 2.0 online CMS tools" aim to balance ease-of-use and flexibility. The document analyzes several free and paid options.Better design dpcon 4a

When WordPress updates are installed, a .maintenance file is automatically created. This can cause a "Briefly unavailable" message to display. To remove the message, login via FTP and delete the .maintenance file from the root folder. If website changes are not visible, clearing the browser cache may be needed, as the cache stores previous website data. Mod_rewrite may also need to be enabled if pretty permalinks or image uploads are not working properly. Resetting permalinks or editing the .htaccess file could resolve the issues.Wordpress

Automated Engineering of Domain-Specific Metamorphic Testing EnvironmentsPablo G坦mez Abajo
油
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.Automating Behavior-Driven Development: Boosting Productivity with Template-D...

We have successfully established our development process for Drupal custom modules, including automated testing using PHPUnit, all managed through our own GitLab CI/CD pipeline. This setup mirrors the automated testing process used by Drupal.org, which was our goal to emulate.
Building on this success, we have taken the next step by learning Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) using Behat. This approach allows us to automate the execution of acceptance tests for our Cloud Orchestration modules. Our upcoming session will provide a thorough explanation of the practical application of Behat, demonstrating how to effectively use this tool to write and execute comprehensive test scenarios.
In this session, we will cover:
1. Introduction to Behavior-Driven Development (BDD):
- Understanding the principles of BDD and its advantages in the software development lifecycle.
- How BDD aligns with agile methodologies and enhances collaboration between developers, testers, and stakeholders.
2. Overview of Behat:
- Introduction to Behat as a testing framework for BDD.
- Key features of Behat and its integration with other tools and platforms.
3. Automating Acceptance Tests:
- Running Behat tests in our GitLab CI/CD pipeline.
- Techniques for ensuring that automated tests are reliable and maintainable.
- Strategies for continuous improvement and scaling the test suite.
4. Template-Based Test Scenario Reusability:
- How to create reusable test scenario templates in Behat.

Today, the authorization world is fractured - each vendor supports its own APIs & protocols. But this is about to change: OpenID AuthZEN was created in late 2023 to establish much-needed modern authorization standards. As of late 2024, AuthZEN has a stable Implementers Draft, and is expected to reach Final Specification in 2025.
With AuthZEN, IAM teams can confidently externalize and standardize authorization across their application estate without being locked in to a proprietary API.
This session will describe the state of modern authorization, review the AuthZEN API, and demo our 15 interoperable implementations.ScotSecure Cyber Security Summit 2025 Edinburgh

In todays digital age, data has become an organizations lifeblood. As the use of digital technologies continues to escalate, so do the risks associated with personal data, which continue to grow exponentially as well. To effectively safeguard personal and sensitive information, organizations must understand the intricate relationship between data privacy, cybersecurity, and incident response.
Data privacy and cybersecurity are two sides of the same coin. Data privacy focuses on how personal data is to be collected, used, stored, shared and controlled, while cybersecurity aims to protect systems and networks from unauthorized access, digital attacks, malware and data breaches.
However, even with the best data privacy and security measures in place, cyber incidents can still occur. A well-prepared incident response plan is crucial for minimizing the impact of a breach and restoring normal operations.
Join our experts on this webinar to discuss how data privacy, cybersecurity, and incident response interact and are essential for safeguarding your organizations digital assets.
This webinar will review:
- How data privacy and cybersecurity intersect
- How to develop a comprehensive privacy and security strategy to safeguard personal and sensitive information
- What are suggestions and expectations around incident responseCitrineOS: Bridging the Past and Future of EV Charging with OCPP 1.6 & 2.x Su...
