====Confessions of the (Accidental) Code Hoarder: How to make your Code Sharable:====
* Karen A. Coombs, OCLC, coombsk@oclc.org
Have you built something cool and useful that you want to share with others? This preconference session will discuss techniques and tools for sharing code. Using our own OCLC Developer Network PHP authentication code libraries as an example, we will discuss a set of recommended best practices for how to share your code. We’ll start with coding standards and test writing so you can be confident of the quality of your code. Next we'll discuss inline documentation as a tool for developers and how auto-generating documentation will save you time and effort. Lastly we'Interested in Attending'll provide an overview of the tricky areas of dependency and package management, and distribution tools. Along the way, we'll cover PHP coding standards, testing, and popular PHP tools including PHPDoc for documentation, Composer for smooth installations, and using GitHub and Packagist to manage distribution, updates and community feedback.

AbstractGeoBlacklight is a discovery solution for geospatial Visualizing your institution’s data that builds on the successful Blacklight platformcan give new insight about your holding’s strengths, weaknesses and outliers. Many libraries have collections of GIS data that aren’t easily discoverableThey can also provide potential new avenues for discovery and access. This half day session will focus on programmatically visualizing library metadata. Emphasis will be a hands-on workshopcreating web-based visualizations utilizing libraries such as d3.js but attention paid towards visualizing large datasets while keeping them web accessible. By then end of the session participants will have template, focused on installing sample code and running GeoBlacklight which builds on the morning workshop "Delivering and Preserving GIS Data"methodologies enabling them to start producing visualization with their own data.

RailsBridge Code4Lib is a great wonderful and successful model (you must agree or you wouldn't be reading this). This workshop that opens the doors is an attempt to projects like [http://projectblacklightcreate a space to replicate the model in an Archival context.org/ Blacklight] A space to talk about development for archives, and [http://projecthydrathe particular challenges of developing archival systems.org/ Hydra] Topics to discuss include Integration between different Archival software tools, and [https:between Archival tools//github.com/traject-project/traject Traject]workflows and larger institutional tools like institutional repositories, discovery and access systems.
The schedule may include the following:
* Panel type conversations about the State of Art in Archives
* Case Studies - discussion of workflows at specific institutions, including gaps in tools and how those are being addressed or could be addressed
* Tool Demos - access to demos of some of the open source tools used in an Archival Context (examples include ArchivesSpace, Archivematica, BitCurator, AtoM)
Artefactual will provide demos running Archivematica and AtoM, Lyrasis will do so for ArchivesSpace, BitCurator will for BitCurator. We encourage others to chime in here to expand the list of tools available to touch and play with.
When signing up, please indicate if you are an end-user or a developer.

=== Code Retreat ==='''Full DayHydra is a collaboration of over 30 educational institutions who work together to solve their repository needs by building open-source software. Dive into Hydra is a course that bootstraps you into the Hydra software framework. We'll start at the basics and walk you through the various layers of the Hydra stack. We'll conclude by installing the Worthwhile gem, enabling every participant to walk away with their own Institutional Repository.

AbstractThe Digital Public Library of America API workshop guides attendees through the process of creating an app based on DPLA's free, public API. The API provides access to over 8 million [http://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/ CC0] licensed metadata records from America’s libraries, archives, and museums in a common metadata format. This workshop is designed for people of all technical skill levels and will cover API basics, the capabilities of the DPLA API, available toolsets, and tips for using records from the API effectively. Members of DPLA's technology team will be on hand to help the group build their first application, and answer questions about tools and content.
