The document discusses the results of a study that compared programming languages C, C++, Java, Perl, Python, Rexx, and Tcl for a search/string processing program. The study found that Perl, Python, Rexx, and Tcl programs took about half as long to write and were half as long as equivalent programs in C, C++, and Java. Memory usage of scripting language programs was about twice that of C/C++, and Java was another factor of two higher. Variability between programmers was as large or larger than variability between languages.

Retention Strategies in Mobile E-CommerceAboutYouGmbH
The app is the fastest growing product at ABOUT YOU and already generates a large portion of its sales. New app users to win over different marketing channels is not exactly cheap.
It is thus all the more important to keep the commitment and the retention of the won users high.
E-commerce is a fast-growing market, but most online shops lag behind the conceptual and technical possibilities. Inspiring online experiences are rare and all customers usually see the same, non-personalized, online shop.
By integrating external content from Influencers, Fashion and Consumer Brands as well as users themselves, ABOUTYOU makes online shopping more inspiring and ventures into the field of Discovery Commerce. In addition, ABOUTYOU consistently focuses on personalization and distinguished itself from the competition by an individually tailored shopping experience for its users.
This document discusses various "weird browsers" including those found on smart TVs, game consoles, e-readers, and portable gaming devices. It notes that each has unique characteristics that make web development challenging, such as non-standard screen sizes and resolutions, unusual input methods like d-pads, and performance limitations of technologies like e-ink screens. The document provides examples of how features like viewports, touch support, and media queries often behave differently in these environments than traditional desktop browsers. It emphasizes that reliable device detection is difficult and feature detection may not work as expected.

Stefan Richter gave a presentation on writing simple, readable, and robust code using examples in Java, Clojure, and Go. He discussed his programming experience and showed how Martin Fowler used Java to parse a fixed-length file format into objects. Richter then demonstrated how the same task could be accomplished more concisely in Common Lisp and Clojure using macros to define domain-specific languages. He argued that macros are a powerful feature of Lisp-like languages.

The document discusses conflict-free replicated data types (CRDTs), which are data structures designed to achieve maximum availability in distributed systems where strict consistency is not possible. It describes how CRDTs use state-based or operation-based approaches to allow for eventual consistency while preventing inconsistencies. Examples of CRDT implementations of counters, sets, registers and other data types are provided, along with discussions of their advantages and limitations compared to strict consistency models.

Big data from ships equipped with Automatic Identification Systems (AIS). AIS data provides both static information like a ship's name and dynamic data like location updated every few seconds. This creates large volumes of data, up to 400GB per day worldwide. Hadoop and related tools can be used to analyze live and historical AIS data for applications like collision detection, monitoring illegal fishing, tracking ships, and optimizing routes and logistics.
