MOBEECITY : L’OFFRE MOBILE D’INOVAGORA

motiver les développeurs pour une libération du web et de ses utilisateurs

A dynamic CSS framework inspired by Shaun Inman's CSS Cacheer. It's aimed at experienced CSS developers - it gives you the tools to create great CSS easily. It abstracts some repetitive and annoying flaws of the language to make it easier to create and maintain, all while giving you the benefits of caching.

sfLessPhpPlugin is a plugin for symfony applications which parses .less files through LESS and outputs CSS files.

Server2Go is a Webserver that runs out of the box without any installation and on write protected media. This means that web applications based on Server2Go can be used directly from cdrom, a usb stick or from any folder on a hard disk without the hassle of configuring Apache, PHP or MySQL. Server2Go allows you to create a standalone working web site or PHP application on a CD-ROM. There are many examples of its possible useses such as catalogue software, calculation programmes, image campaigns (CMS-based), computer based training lessons or other applicatons. Most PHP-Software such as the content management system Joomla or the computer based training software Moodle can be used from CD-ROM with the help of Server2Go. Server2Go was developed in the first instance for use on CD-ROM but there is no problem in using it from other drives too. Using a web browser, a user can run php programs as well as view html files on the CD-ROM. He only needs to insert a CD with Server2Go. The server software starts automatically and a browser is opened with the Website of the CD-ROM. Server2Go was built in the first place to replace other CD-ROM webservers such as WampOnCD or Microweb that lacked some important features or are not being actively developed. Main Features * Free! No royalties * Complete WAMPP Server-Stack * Runs directly from CD-ROM, USB Stick or Hard disk without installation * Full featured webserver (based on apache) * PHP 5.x support with many extensions installed (e.g. gd) * Supports SQLite databases * Runs on all versions of Windows from Win 98 and above, MAC OSX support is coming * Support for MySQL 5 Databases * Supports many PHP extensions (GD-Lib, PDO...) by default * Support for Perl 5.8

Yahoo has unveiled BrowserPlus, a brower plugin that adds some features to the browser. They explain : "BrowserPlus™ is a technology for web browsers that allows developers to create rich web applications with desktop capabilities."

Wrapper is a cross-browser compliant HTML/CSS rendering engine written in ActionScript that sits on top of your standards compliant HTML page. Wrapper eliminates cross-browser issues and makes integrating ActionScript and HTML/CSS projects possible without needing to compile. Wrappers strives to answer the most common problems web designers face without forcing them to learn too many new things. Most web sites can be created in HTML or CSS, then when you need to extend Wrapper's capabilities you can either use JSON to call functions within ActionScript or you can load compiled plug-ins. Wrapper also has built in methods within CSS to load custom fonts, display elements as any shape, and fill them with linear or radial gradient background colors. ActionScript's event model is also implemented within Wrapper's HTML. Wrapper's best features are the ones that you get for free because of how it is set up. It's like getting all the great features of the Flash Player without needing to deal with compiling and being able to create your content the same way any HTML page would be created. Wrapper is fully accessible to the search engines and integrates well with any back-end technology. Wrapper is currently released as a fully functional open source beta for Flash Player 9. Wrapper is set up as a pre-compiled plug-in but can easily be integrated into any Flex or AIR applications or even as an ActionScript framework for creation of compiled projects.

A good way to see how your Web applications and server will behave under high load is by testing them with a simulated load. We tested several free software tools that do such testing to see which work best for what kinds of sites. If you leave out the load-testing packages that are no longer maintained, non-free, or fail the installation process in some obscure way, you are left with five candidates: curl-loader, httperf, Siege, Tsung, and Apache JMeter.

This article shows how to install and configure ModSecurity (version 2) for use with Apache2 on a Debian Etch system. ModSecurity is an Apache module that provides intrusion detection and prevention for web applications. It aims at shielding web applications from known and unknown attacks, such as SQL injection attacks, cross-site scripting, path traversal attacks, etc. I want to say first that this is not the only way of setting up such a system. There are many ways of achieving this goal but this is the way I take. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

La communauté OpenLiberty.org élabore actuellement un code open source visant à optimiser la sécurité et la confidentialité dans les services Web et les applications Web 2.0. Le code source d’OpenLiberty-J peut être téléchargé librement sur OpenLiberty.org. OpenLiberty.org est une communauté de développeurs formée en janvier 2007 pour coordonner les synergies et les travaux de la Liberty Alliance. Elle regroupe des acteurs comme AOL, HP, Intel, Internet2, Sun Microsystems, Symlabs et la communauté OpenSAM. OpenLiberty.org confirme aujourd’hui la diffusion d’OpenLiberty-J, une bibliothèque client Liberty Web Services (ID-WSF 2.0) open source conçue pour "faciliter le développement et accélérer le déploiement d’applications Web 2.0 standardisées et sécurisées." Diffusé aujourd’hui en version beta sous la licence Apache 2.0, le code OpenLiberty-J peut être examiné et téléchargé sur OpenLiberty.org. OpenLiberty-J permet aux développeurs d’applications d’incorporer les fonctions du standard Identity Web Services Framework de Liberty Alliance dans des applications consommatrices d’identité telles que celles présentes dans les architectures orientées services (SOA) d’entreprise, les environnements de réseau social Web 2.0 et les applications client sur les PC et appareils mobiles.

Voici une traduction d'un texte pointé par Karl intitulé Better than free et écrit par Kevin Kelly. Je trouve la réflexion très intéressante et arrivant à point nommé dans ma réflexion sur le financement des applications web libres. Je vous laisse lire et on en parle ensuite.

JavaScript for Rich Internet Applications

Prism, anciennement appelé webrunner, est un petit navigateur mono-site dépourvu de toutes interfaces (pas de menus, pas de boutons, ...) le rendant ainsi ultra-rapide. Cet article explique comment l'installer et l'utiliser sur un système d'exploitation Linux. Le but principal de ce logiciel est donc de permettre à l'utilisateur d'accéder facilement et rapidement à des applications en ligne, qu'il consulte très régulièrement (webmail, lecteur de flux RSS ...). On se retrouve ainsi avec un programme qui réunit le meilleur des deux mondes : les applications desktop locales et les applications web en ligne.

Mozilla Labs is launching a series of experiments to bridge the divide in the user experience between web applications and desktop apps and to explore new usability models as the line between traditional desktop and new web applications continues to blur.
