How a sidekick scripting language for Java, created at Netscape in a ten-day hack, ships first as a de facto Web standard and eventually becomes the world's most widely used programming language. This paper tells the story of the creation, design, evolution, and standardization of the JavaScript language over the period of 1995-2015. But the story is not only about the technical details

What does it take to create innovative tech-savvy designs that are usable, appealing, and good for society? The contributions to this open book introduce contemporary research on the digitization and datafication of products, exploring topics like user experience, artificial intelligence, and virtual environments in design. Coming from varied backgrounds in product design, interaction de

Over the past decade, the cyber security landscape has changed dramatically. According to Cybersecurity Ventures, by 2021, the global cost of cybercrime is expected to reach $6 trillion, making it more profitable than the entire global illegal drugs trade. Organisations of every size and in every industry have become potential targets for cybercriminals. New threats are emerging all the

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, staying ahead requires organizations to embark on infrastructure modernization initiatives. However, this effort is not without challenges. Managing diverse technologies, overcoming human resistance to change, and ensuring profitability can pose demanding obstacles for any successful IT strategy. Organizations also need to adjust their busin

Although many large corporations are reluctant to release the software they use in-house publicly as open source, those companies can still use principles and processes of open source for developing their in-house software - a practice popularly known as InnerSource. But adopting open source practices without understanding the cultural context behind them often fails. That's where this r

The opportunity to modernize and improve the enterprise data warehouse is one of the best reasons for moving your application to the cloud.

Jeremy Keith begins by noting that the title Resilient Web Design might suggest a handbook for building robust websites, but clarifies that it is not a handbook - it is more like a history book. The text observes that in the world of web design, attention is mostly focused on the present. When designers look beyond the moment, it is usually to imagine future devices and interfaces, leavi

This book originated from lecture notes developed by the lead author for a course in applied numerical methods, initially designed for Civil Engineering majors, and later expanded to include Mechanical Engineering. The primary objectives of the text are to introduce the fundamental concepts of numerical methods and to provide a thorough, integrated guide to using MATLAB within an enginee
