Agenda:
 

  • UCLA Knowledge Base using Ruby on Rails
    w/ Ryan Nguyen

    [ This presentation has been rescheduled ]     Using Ruby on Rails SSC has developed a web based application that incorporates a knowledge base of questions to be used as a resource tool on campus. Come see how this application was developed.


  • What the Knowledge Base can do for us
    w/ Mike Franks

  • Extending Plone with a relational database and ISIS authentication
    w/ Mike Takahashi and Jovcic Slobodan

    This presentation will show how a custom dynamic application was developed for BruinCast (http://bruincast.ucla.edu) by the Office of Instructional Development, which extended Plone’s existing CMS to use an external relational database (MySQL) and ISIS authentication.  ISIS authentication was migrated into Plone to restrict selected course webcast pages to currently enrolled students.


  • Debugging web sites using free extensions via Firefox
    w/ Mike Takahashi

    Designing web sites to work on multiple platforms and browsers can be a challenging task. Luckily there are some great free extensions via Firefox that will help make your life a lot easier.
  • AJAX & XML - Building Office like application for the web
    w/ Salman Quazi

    The presentation will demo an application, which was originally deigned for General Accounting, to track transaction details for all cashiering stations in UCLA. It will demonstrate how XML was used to separate business and application logic and how AJAX was used to give the user a more Microsoft Office like behavior.

Please feel free to invite your web publishing colleagues.

We hope to see everyone there.
