Presentations

JSON-LD : Bridging the Now and Future Webs

The Semantic Web and its related technologies provide an incredibly powerful model for driving the cost of data integration down to nearly zero. So, how do we deal with developers who are overwhelmed, frightened or annoyed by its data models and formats?

Web Components

Enough with the darn JavaScript frameworks already! There's nothing wrong with a judicious use of this ubiquitous programming language, but it's gotten a little out of hand. What if there were an evolvable future state of declarative and encapsulated user interface elements that was available today in most modern browsers?

R : Analyzing and Visualizing Data

At the intersection of Big Data, Data Science and Data Visualization lives a programming language that ranks higher on the TIOBE index than Scheme, Fortran, Scala, Prolog, Erlang, Haskell, Lisp and Clojure.
