DERI Pipes Lift :: Home Yahoo Pipes Code Generator (Python): Pipe2Py Wouldn’t it be nice if you coud use Yahoo Pipes as a visual editor for generating your own feed powered applications running on your own server? Now you can… One of the concerns occasionally raised around Yahoo Pipes (other than the stability and responsiveness issues) relates to the dependence that results on the Yahoo pipes platform from creating a pipe. Where a pipe is used to construct an information feed that may get published on an “official” web page, users need to feel that content will always be being fed through the pipe, not just when when Pipes feels like it. Earlier this year, I started to have a ponder around the idea of a Yahoo Pipes Documentation Project (the code appears to have rotted unfortunately; I think I need to put a proper JSON parser in place:-(, which would at least display a textual description of a pipe based on the JSON representation of it that you can access via the Pipes environment. This generates the following code: And the result? So there we have it..

Easy front-end framework Just in Case – Saving Your Yahoo Pipes… Yahoo is laying off again, so just in case, if you’re a user of Yahoo Pipes, it may be worth exporting the “source code” of your pipes or any pipes that you make frequent use of in case the Yahoo Pipes service gets cut. Why? Well, a little known fact about Yahoo pipes is that you can get hold of a JSON representation from a pipe that describes how the pipe is constructed… …and some time ago, Greg Gaughan started working on a script that allows you to “compile” these descriptions of your Yahoo Pipes into Python programming code that can be run as a standalone programme on your own server: Pipe2Py. (Greg also did a demo that allowed Pipes to be “migrated” to a version of Pipe2Py running on Google App Engine.) To get a full list of pipes by user, I think you need to be logged in as that user?

The no-framework PHP MVC framework - Rasmus' Toys Page March 1, 2006 - Disclaimer: Since a lot of people seem to me misunderstanding this article. It isn't about OOP vs. Procedural programming styles. I happen to lean more towards procedural, but could easily have gone more OOP. I simplified the code a bit for brevity, but have added a light OO layer back in the model now. So you want to build the next fancy Web 2.0 site? I don't have much of a problem with MVC itself. Goals for this approach Clean and simple designHTML should look like HTMLKeep the PHP code in the views extremely simple: function calls, simple loops and variable substitutions should be all you needSecureInput validation using pecl/filter as a data firewallWhen possible, avoid layers and other complexities to make code easier to audit FastAvoid include_once and require_onceUse APC and apc_store/apc_fetch for caching data that rarely changesStay with procedural style unless something is truly an objectAvoid locks at all costs Example Application The Code Input Filtering ui.inc

Concept map - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - Iceweasel Diagram showing relationships among concepts A concept map or conceptual diagram is a diagram that depicts suggested relationships between concepts.[1] Concept maps may be used by instructional designers, engineers, technical writers, and others to organize and structure knowledge. Differences from other visualizations [edit] Novak's work is based on the cognitive theories of David Ausubel, who stressed the importance of prior knowledge in being able to learn (or assimilate) new concepts: "The most important single factor influencing learning is what the learner already knows. Concept maps are used to stimulate the generation of ideas, and are believed to aid creativity.[4] Concept mapping is also sometimes used for brain-storming. Formalized concept maps are used in software design, where a common usage is Unified Modeling Language diagramming amongst similar conventions and development methodologies. Concept maps are widely used in education and business.

Classification of Emotions Psychologists have yet to fully tackle the question “How many emotions do we have?” Part of the difficulty is because our experiences are so complex and involve so many different factors, so distinguishing one emotion from another is a lot like drawing lines of sand in the desert. It can be hard to determine where one emotions ends or another begins. Even when we analyze a commonsense emotion like “happiness” or “anger,” we know from everyday experience that these emotions come in many different degrees, qualities, and intensities. In addition, our experiences are often comprised of multiple emotions at once, which adds another dimension of complexity to our emotional experience. Despite how difficult these distinctions may be, plenty of psychologists have attempted to classify our emotions into different categories. Ekman’s List of Basic Emotions (1972) Ekman devised his list of basic emotions after doing research on many different cultures. Anger Disgust Fear Happiness Sadness Surprise
