Book SynopsisDrupal is a free and open-source content management framework. It is, like many web platforms, the “backbone” behind a website, invisible to front-end users but critical to the foundation, organization, and presentation of content. As more scholars and students seek to make their research available online—using the power of the web to find newer and richer ways of presenting large data sets— they are increasingly reaching the limits of what “old” platforms can accomplish.Author Quinn Dombrowski has taught numerous courses in Drupal programming for scholars in the humanities; the techniques here have been field tested. The majority of this book is centered around the creation of an example website, based on a fully functional website that is driven by Drupal.Drupal for Humanists is the first book on Drupal to be craft ed specifically for non-technical users. This manual does not assume any prior experience with PHP, FTP, databases, CMS, or even HTML. If these acronyms are unfamiliar, Drupal for Humanists is the place to start.

Book SynopsisThis book will teach you how to take advantage of the JavaScript language to process data provided on the Internet. Much attention is given to the main JavaScript backbone: prototype based objects, and functional capabilities, while common features (loops, etc.) are summarized in a few cheat-sheets. Only operational features are detailed through the coding of several applications -the second and largest part of the book-, on free-access datasets (e.g. World Bank). It includes: cartography (SVG or API's based), data-sheets access (via Ajax or Jsonp), video data and post-synchronization, and animation examples.Table of ContentsIntroduction xiii Part 1.

Book SynopsisUnderstand the guiding principles of clean code and how it applies to modern front-end development, accessibility (a11y), semantics, performance, and the Green Web. Highlighting key topics ranging from the foundations of JavaScript and HTML to popular frameworks like React, this book provides best practices to ensure code and applications are easier, more efficient and cost effective to run. Using a web-based application as an example, you'll begin by cleaning and improving its code base by dividing the JavaScript into smaller, reusable and composable functions without side effects. Then, you'll improve the HTML code base by applying Disability Driven Design patterns, focusing on semantics before moving on to improving the architecture with a functional style (immutable, modular and composable). Because the web today needs to be green with reduced loading time and energy consumption, you'll apply some tips and tricks to improve code performance and see how to best monitor it in a continuous and scalable way. What You'll LearnSee how the JavaScript engine works and memory management. Explore in greater detail key focus areas of accessibility and green computingMake applications easier and more cost-effective to runLook closely at clean and sustainable development using JavaScript and ReactWho This Book Is ForProgrammers, developers, engineers and product managers who are looking at cost-efficient ways to make their applications run more smoothly and efficiently.

Dutton, University of Oxford A comprehensive guide to the theory and practice of web Social Science. This book demonstrates how the web is being used to collect social research data, such as online surveys and interviews, as well as digital trace data from social media environments, such as Facebook and Twitter. It also illuminates how the advent of the web has led to traditional social science concepts and approaches being combined with those from other scientific disciplines, leading to new insights into social, political and economic behaviour. Situating social sciences in the digital age, this book aids: understanding of the fundamental changes to society, politics and the economy that have resulted from the advent of the web choice of appropriate data, tools and research methods for conducting research using web data learning how web data are providing new insights into long-standing social science research questions appreciation of how social science can facilitate an understanding of life in the digital age It is ideal for students and researchers across the social sciences, as well as those from information science, computer science and engineering who want to learn about how social scientists are thinking about and researching the web.Trade ReviewAckland′s Web Social Science is unique in being specifically designed for social science researchers. Although written simply enough to be accessible to undergraduates, accomplished scholars are likely to appreciate it too. Reading it taught me quite a lot about a subject I thought I knew rather well. -- Paul VogtA rare and timely entry to the growing body of quantitative Internet research. While most other works on the topic are written by and for scientists, this book represents a social science approach that is more accessible and applicable, with more attention to preparation, processing and interpretation of real-world data. Though primarily for readers in social science, business studies, policy analysts, and alike, the book blends traditional social science and emerging web science into a unique handbook of Internet research. -- Jonathan J. H. ZhuBrings the art and science of building and applying innovative online research tools to students and faculty across the social sciences. -- William H. DuttonProvides excellent chapters on how to study the Web from a social science research perspective. Although there are many books on theorizing the Internet and the Web, few tackle hands-on research issues. This two-part book (divided into a methods section and example studies) covers a wide range of research designs, tools and data types from many different social science perspectives (psychology, sociology, media studies, political studies and network science among others). Highly recommended for social science studies that want to use the Web to study social phenomena (the Web as a tool) and media studies that focus on the Web itself as a research object. -- Maurice VergeerThis book combines the technical terms with the social science perspective and some important topics in daily life related to private life, organisational, political and economic activities. It is appropriate for scientists and students in different areas – social, engineering, economic – every area that uses web for informing, promoting, exerting social influence and conducting studies. -- Stanislava Yordanova StoyanovaThe benefit-and the challenge- of this ambitious volume is that the author considers not only how web data are providing new insights into existing social science research questions, but also how social science can contribute to an understanding of life in the digital era...Overall, Ackland has much to offer researchers seeking to conduct Web social science research: in both the methods section and a section composed of concrete, useful examples, he examines varied research designs, tools and data types from diverse social science perspectives. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and research/faculty. -- A.I. PiperAs a relative novice to web-based social research, I have been searching for a book that explains the concepts and different methodologies in accessible language; gives examples demonstrating the practical application of web methods; and does not neglect academic rigour and ethics. This one ticks all those boxes…Ackland’s book is comprehensive and, despite the technical topic, easy to read and understand. The book is particularly valuable for those new to web social science, while it will serve as a handy reference for those with experience in the field. -- Christine Bertram, research fellow at the Institute for Employment StudiesAn innovative book that is helpful for understanding new research questions on the impact of online networks and Internet use. This book can easily convince the reader of the importance of Internet-related research topics [and] it is a textbook that all students in social sciences would be able to read. -- Thierry PenardTable of ContentsChapter 1.

Book SynopsisToday, JavaScript is used in 89.9% of all websites, including the most heavily-trafficked sites like Google, Facebook, YouTube, and Amazon. That is why every web developer should know how to use JavaScript. The problem is that JavaScript is surprisingly difficult to learn, not only for programming novices but also for experienced programmers. But now, Murach''s JavaScript makes it easier than ever to become an accomplished JavaScript programmer. To make that possible, section 1 of this book presents a six-chapter course in JavaScript that gets you off to a great start. This section works for programming novices as well as experienced programmers because it lets you set your own pace. When you finish this section, you will be able to write, test and debug JavaScript applications of your own. Then, section 2 builds on that base by presenting the additional skills that every JavaScript programmer must have. That includes working with arrays and web storage, creating and using your own object types in object-oriented applications, using regular expressions for data validation, and much more. For many developers, sections 1 and 2 will be all that they need to know. But for those who want to move on to the expert level, section 3 presents the skills that will get you there. That includes skills like how to bulletproof your applications by using closures, namespaces, and modules; how to make your functions more useful by using callbacks; and how to use JSON to transmit and store data. Then, the last chapter in this section introduces you to jQuery and shows you how it can make your JavaScript code even better.

Book SynopsisThis book introduces you to the exciting world of generative art and creative coding through the medium of JavaScript and Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Using tried and trusted techniques, you'll tackle core topics such as randomness and regularity, noise and naturalistic variance, shape and path creation, filter effects, animation, and interactivity. In the process you'll learn SvJs, a JavaScript library that closely mirrors the SVG spec and makes scripting SVG intuitive and enjoyable. You'll also study the craft of generative art and its creative process, along with JavaScript fundamentals, using modern ES6+ syntax. Each chapter will build upon the previous one, and those completely new to programming will be given a primer to help them find their feet. Generative Art with JavaScript and SVG will take you on a fun journey, peppered with plenty of sketches throughout, designed not only to explain, but to inspire. You Will: Structure and randomise compositions. Understand the different types of randomness and their probability distributions. Create organic variance with the SvJs Noise module. Apply SVG filter effects in a generative fashion. Explore different approaches to animating with SVG. Make your compositions dynamic and interactive.

Book SynopsisThe use of digital information and communication technologies would be the traces of a social acceptability of the exploitation of all data, in the context of negotiations of uses. This is the reason why the users present themselves actors and contributors of the hyperconnectivity. We would thus witness a new form of dissemination, inviting user experience and social innovations. It is thus the victory of subordination by negotiated renunciation; A new form of serving, no longer that of the 1980s, with the counters and other services, which have become uncontrolled services - excepted when the users are overcome by restrictive ergonomics, revealing too much the subordination device - which joins the prescription apparently without an injunction. The lure is at its height when users and broadcasters come together to produce the services and goods, composing the business model, until the very existence of the companies, in particular the pure players. Crowdsourcing becomes legitimate: consumers create the content, deliver the data, the basis of the service sold (in a painless way because free access most of the time, indirect financing), the providers make available and administer the service, networks , Interfaces (representing considerable costs), also reputation to attract the attention of other consumers or contributors. In these conditions, the environmental stakes are considerable, so we propose another way of considering them, not as they are dealt with - material and pollution - but according to the prism of the relational practices analyzed in this volume.Table of ContentsIntroduction vii Chapter 1 The Technological Offer and Globalized Services 1 1.1 Importance of the open communication protocol 2 1.2 Mediation and industrialization of connection 7 1.3 Monopolies and dominance 11 Chapter 2 The Hyperconnected Economy 21 2.1 A free mode of access and use 22 2.2 Two indirect funding methods: advertising and data marketing 28 2.2.1 Advertising revenues 29 2.2.2 Data production and sales 33 2.3 An activation method: solicitation 36 2.4 The government’s involvement 44 Chapter 3 Social Appropriation and Digital Culture 51 3.1 Ambivalence of uses 58 3.2 Industrialization of the uses of interactivity: territories of hyperconnectivity 66 3.3 Uses of interactivity 73 Chapter 4 Renunciation and Negotiations 77 4.1 Uses at the foundation of renunciation and negotiations 77 4.2 Negotiated renunciation 92 Chapter 5 Environmental Issues 105 5.1 Absence of environmental dimension 107 5.2 Materiality of the immaterial 112 5.3 Energy consumption and greenhouse gas production 120 5.4 Impacts of software and website design 127 5.5 Injunctive, ecological and programmed obsolescence 132 5.5.1 Planned obsolescence 133 5.5.2 Injunctive obsolescence 135 5.5.3 Ecological obsolescence 136 Conclusion 139 References 147 Index 161

Book SynopsisHow does society form and transform individuals? Sociology has been asking this question since its inception and “socialization” has been analyzed from different vantage points by various prominent thinkers. Socialization offers an overview of some of these perspectives in the classic work of key theorists and in contemporary research that has either developed or challenged these ideas. The book argues that, while socialization has sometimes been framed as an outdated, static approach, it in fact remains highly relevant and continues to provide valuable insight into how we come to act and think as we do. Drawing on a wide variety of empirical examples, the book offers a lively, accessible account of primary and secondary socialization, and how they interconnect. By considering socialization as a process that continues throughout the life course, the book highlights the dynamic and enduring ways in which the social world is involved in shaping and reshaping individuals, shedding productive light on the effects of class, gender, and race, as well as on inequality and domination. Socialization will appeal to students and scholars in sociology, as well as other disciplines such as psychology and education.Trade Review“Socialization gives us a fresh look at a classic, if recently maligned and neglected, core idea in sociology. Darmon is a wonderful guide, showing the value of sociogenetic approaches and their capacity to make sense of intersecting forms of power and domination.”Shamus Khan, Willard Thorp Professor of American Studies and Sociology at Princeton University“Showing how socialization both forms us and ‘transforms’ us, Professor Darmon offers a fresh, and welcome, analysis of socialization. Strikingly, her analysis is deeply attuned to power, inequality, and changes over the life course. The book is incredibly clear; it is excellent for teaching. Highly recommended!”Annette Lareau, Professor of Sociology at the University of Pennsylvania and author of Unequal ChildhoodsTable of ContentsIntroduction 1.

Book SynopsisThe desire to be recognized is a basic human trait. In contemporary society, social media platforms play a key role in defining how processes of recognition take shape. To post, to like, or to comment have become daily practices of expressing individual recognition. On the one hand, social media platforms make it easier for individuals to be visible and to be recognized; on the other hand, they control the structure of these dynamics. This timely and original book reflects on processes of recognition on social media platforms. Revisiting traditional discussions on recognition theory, Bruno Campanella investigates how the field of media and communication has used the concept and poses new questions raised by the omnipresence of social media. He argues that existing work does not fully explore the impact of platforms on contemporary processes of recognition. Individuals must learn new skills to make themselves visible online, but how to achieve this changes as a consequence of the role played by platforms: what is seen depends on decisions taken by their algorithms, which impacts how individuals and social groups are valued in society. Recognition in the Age of Social Media is a key contribution to the field, and a must-read for students and scholars of media and communication, sociology, and politics.Trade Review‘One of the most theoretically stimulating interventions on social media in years. Campanella shows how a culture of self-promotion meshes alarmingly with conditions of political and economic precarity, producing subjects all too well adapted to datafied societies, including in the Global South.’Nick Couldry, London School of Economics and Political Science‘A poignant analysis of how social media and datafication are changing recognition processes, and why this matters to all of us.’Olivier Driessens, University of CopenhagenTable of ContentsIntroduction 1 Recognition 2 Recognition and the Media 3 Regimes of Visibility in Social Media Platforms 4 The Demand for New Dispositions Conclusion Notes References Index
