Why Textbooks
Are Doomed
• Textbooks are ﬁnite, linear, and rote.
• It is NOT difﬁcult to create and publish a
book. Lulu, iPhoto and other services.

• Text and images are ridiculously cheap to
transmit digitally.

• iBooks Author

Friday, March 2, 12

Textbook "Facts"
• $600.00 per pupil spending on textbooks.

• Outdated once they are printed.

• Not necessarily written by experts and trusted
scholars.

• Most librarians agree that reference books are
most at risk in a digital world.

• 7 year review cycle.

Friday, March 2, 12

New Textbook Ideas
• Textbooks are reference manuals.

What is a CMS?
• A content management system is software that
keeps track of every piece of content on your
website.

• A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires
almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage.

• Runs on a SQL database.

• Backend functions on a cPanel, a Unix based web
hosting control panel.

Friday, March 2, 12

Joomla!
• Joomla is an award-winning
content management system
(CMS), which enables you to
build Web sites and powerful
online applications.

and has over 200,000
community users and
contributors.

Dublin Core: What is left to do?

knowledge Technology Week

http://dcevents.dublincore.org/index.php/IntConf/index/pages/view/speakers-2012 Abstract: "The original 1995 Dublin Core vision of simple, publisher-provided metadata records for Web pages has finally entered the mainstream. From its earliest days, the Dublin Core community was positioned somewhere between the world of search, and the world of the library. The RDF-based approaches long championed by DCMI have recently enjoyed high profile adoption amongst both search engines and libraries. Where does this leave the Dublin Core as a community? Do we settle down into a quiet life of long-term metadata vocabulary maintenance, or are there larger challenges that emerge from this landscape of newly linked, networked information? Dan Brickley will revisit the history of the Dublin Core, outline the state of the art for bibliographic and Web metadata, and outline possible new roles, information-linking problems and practical opportunities for the Dublin Core as a project and as a growing community."

We're living the AI revolution and Salesforce is adapting and bring new value to their customers. Einstein products are evolving rapidly and navigating their limitations, language support, and use cases can be challenging. Let's make review of what Einstein product are available currently, what are the capabilities and what can be used for in CEE region and how Rossie.ai can help to learn Salesforce speak Czech. We will explore the Einstein roadmap and I will make a short live demo (based on your vote) of some Einstein feature.

Heather Hedden, Senior Consultant at Enterprise Knowledge, presented “Enterprise Knowledge Graphs: The Importance of Semantics” on May 9, 2024, at the annual Data Summit in Boston. In her presentation, Hedden describes the components of an enterprise knowledge graph and provides further insight into the semantic layer – or knowledge model – component, which includes an ontology and controlled vocabularies, such as taxonomies, for controlled metadata. While data experts tend to focus on the graph database components (RDF triple store or a label property graph), Hedden emphasizes they should not overlook the importance of the semantic layer.

The standard Salesforce Approval process can be limiting in many ways, especially in complex scenarios. What if there was a way to implement very flexible approvals where one can use Apex code to make data updates in unrelated records, dynamically generate next steps details, and compute assignees on the fly? And still use UI-based configurations to implement concrete approval processes. In this session, we will share ideas behind such a solution and show a few lines of code to get you started.

Join me in this session where I'll share our journey of building a fully serverless application that flawlessly managed check-ins for an event with a staggering 80 thousand registrations. We'll dive into three key strategies that made this possible. Firstly, by harnessing DynamoDB global tables, we ensured global service availability and data replication across regions, boosting performance and disaster recovery. Next, we'll explore how we seamlessly integrated real-time updates into the app using Appsync subscriptions, making the experience dynamic and engaging for users. Finally, I'll discuss how provisioned concurrency not only improved performance but also kept costs in check, highlighting the cost-effectiveness of serverless architectures. Through these strategies and the inherent scalability of serverless technology, our application effortlessly handled massive user loads without manual intervention. This session is a real world example to the power and efficiency of modern cloud-based solutions in enabling seamless scalability and robust performance with Serverless

ScyllaDB has the potential to deliver impressive performance and scalability. The better you understand how it works, the more you can squeeze out of it. But before you squeeze, make sure you know what to monitor! Watch our experienced Postgres developer work through monitoring and performance strategies that help him understand what mistakes he’s made moving to NoSQL. And learn with him as our database performance expert offers friendly guidance on how to use monitoring and performance tuning to get his sample Rust application on the right track. This webinar focuses on using monitoring and performance tuning to discover and correct mistakes that commonly occur when developers move from SQL to NoSQL. For example: - Common issues getting up and running with the monitoring stack - Using the CQL optimizations dashboard - Common issues causing high latency in a node - Common issues causing replica imbalance - What a healthy system looks like in terms of memory - Key metrics to keep an eye on This isn’t “Death-by-Powerpoint.” We’ll walk through problems encountered while migrating a real application from Postgres to ScyllaDB – and try to fix them live as well.

I'm excited to share my latest predictions on how AI, robotics, and other technological advancements will reshape industries in the coming years. The slides explore the exponential growth of computational power, the future of AI and robotics, and their profound impact on various sectors. Why this matters: The success of new products and investments hinges on precise timing and foresight into emerging categories. This deck equips founders, VCs, and industry leaders with insights to align future products with upcoming tech developments. These insights enhance the ability to forecast industry trends, improve market timing, and predict competitor actions. Highlights: ▪ Exponential Growth in Compute: How $1000 will soon buy the computational power of a human brain ▪ Scaling of AI Models: The journey towards beyond human-scale models and intelligent edge computing ▪ Transformative Technologies: From advanced robotics and brain interfaces to automated healthcare and beyond ▪ Future of Work: How automation will redefine jobs and economic structures by 2040 With so many predictions presented here, some will inevitably be wrong or mistimed, especially with potential external disruptions. For instance, a conflict in Taiwan could severely impact global semiconductor production, affecting compute costs and related advancements. Nonetheless, these slides are intended to guide intuition on future technological trends.
