PUBLIC MARKS with search event

UXcamp Europe will be taking place in Berlin on the 29th and 30th May 2010.

Taking the lead from the hugely successful UXcamp Berlin 2009, we have decided to extend our borders and create an international event. The focus of the event will be:

Information Architecture

Interaction Design

Usability Engineering

Visual Design

Prototype Engineering

The following maps represent the first stage of a project I am embarking on to map out some of the spatial contours of Wikipedia. Data were obtained from the August 2009 Wikipedia geodata dump organised by user Kolossos. The information was then ported over to a GIS. There are almost half a million geotagged Wikipedia articles (i.e. Wikipedia articles about a place or an event that occurred in a distinct place), so the preparation time alone for the files needed to create these maps was almost a week.

The following maps are the first of a series that will be made in order to map out the distinct geographies of Wikipedia. Many Wikipedia articles (about half a million) are either about a place or an event that occurred within a place, and most of these geographic articles handily contain a set of coordinates that can be imported into mapping software.

This extension brings a new Events panel that lists all of the event handlers on the page grouped by event type. The panel also nicely integrates with other Firebug panels and allows to quickly find out, which HTML element is associated with specific event listener or see the Javascript source code.

In this article I’d like to talk more about unload event handlers, why they prevent pages from going into the Page Cache, and what can be done to make things better.

If you have an EventSourcing architecture, based on Qi4j, this cost should be minimal, but if you want to DIY then it might be a quite considerable. An important point that Trond makes is that this model makes it much easier to have a domain model which you can evolve without disturbing other clients, as they will NOT be integrating with the application store as such, but will instead be working with the event stream.

Le mouvement NoSQL aka je reviens 30 ans en arrière et je remets tout dans un gros bloc clef-valeur est bien mignon, mais c'est bien tant qu'on reste chez soi et qu'on fait tout tout seul. Sinon on se retrouve à multiplier les interfaces et des routines d'import-export.
