ACL container
Draws out architecture
connectors CORE Collectors
e.g to facebook singlet talk to each part of api data model of third party
CORE has type system sitting on top of it JSON object shift data back and forth and make an application make webpage
Collection what are generic model data types e.g. for a photo ie make flickr, fb photo queryable on the model. High level schema in effect
Silicon Valley – University
I often joke that I am on a 4 week ‘holiday’ in Silicon Valley. The reality is, its more like a semester at University at Phd level. There is just so much to learn and take in, from the subject matter being spoken about to the presentation style. Everyone around you is extremely bright and that means every person you sit next to at the start of a presentation or during a lunch time or coffee break will have something interesting to say. My best conversations this week have happened by chance. While the mind is getting a full workout, I’ve also managed two swims, pretty hard work but hopefully my fitness will return now the sun is shining bright.
As for the pitch for the week, what to you do? I lead on open source project that allows an individual to data mine themselves and then share the answers. Seems to be working well.
data abstraction – phpuk2012
Do not assume will have same db for whole life of application.
socorro mozilla project.
separate data use from data retrieval
build middle ware to map.
Domain Modeling rather than Insert update, delete
Want, need, data represent.
Modeling the future is hard but you should at least try, planning ahead key.
Data stores will be decentralized and they will take care of the storage but you still need the model abstraction metaphor hand remote storage e.g. games on facebook.com

how to best get the code deployed live
data processing unconference phpnw11
electron delivery vehicals 2500 data points per vechical, real time data collection when they are on
US dept. gave 32 million dollar to collect the data to learn about energy use
uses stormMQ as queuing system.
realtime use batter use charge, location
rapid large batch very quickly
DBA human working on mysql, each truck has own data base and cluster of dbs in cloud
call data to UI 10 20 seconds a page, used caching to improve
If too much data coming in, or has not change they will not insert to save. But then has to write code to fill the gaps with values
good talk
REST talk PHPNW11
History of REST
Constraints are a good thing
REST is an architecture not a plugin
goals
1. scale
2. general UI
3. Independent component
4.
Constraints
Client save server
Stateless (never store anything server side)
Caching
Layersystem (allow to put in intermediaries eg. load balancing, caching is to help scale.)
Code on demand ()
Uniform interface (4 guiding principals a, uri, )
URL to access e.g media type get back url to get one pint on api to the next)
http browser identifies what comes back. could be html2 to 5
Versioning: web does not matter on the web but make sure the links are still valid.
Testing CiviCRM
No test to more tests then API brought in lots more
Now policy to bring in test before new featured added.
Automation of testing, replicate bug in webtest framework and then solve and test.
