Abstract: Enhancing dynamic code. A method includes obtaining one or more first data structures defining constructs in a body of dynamic language source code. From the one or more first data structures, identifier information is extracted for one or more of the defined constructs. Knowledge about the constructs is augmented. Using the identifier information and augmented knowledge, metadata about the body of the dynamic language source code is generated. The generated metadata is represented as a symbol table. The body of dynamic language source code is visually enhanced based on the symbol table structure.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for automating asynchronous programming in single threaded systems. A wrapper is automatically generated around an original function. When metadata indicates the wrapper should be utilized for asynchronous data retrieval, the wrapper calls a data retrieving function asynchronously. Asynchronous retrieval of data is initiated from the data retrieving function using a direct callback. A specially marked exception is thrown to cause control to leave and get caught by a special exception in the wrapper. When the direct callback function is called because the data has been retrieved, the data is saved. The wrapper is called again in a synchronous fashion, which causes the wrapper, original function, and data retrieving function to be called again. When the data retrieving function is called again, data that was saved by the direct callback function is retrieved, and then returned to the calling function through the callback function.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for enhancing security in a browser-based environment. A first browser application hosts one or more other applications. The first browser application is operable to load the one or more other applications on one or more separate domains than a host domain, using one or more cookies as a communication method between the first browser application and the one or more other applications. Input is received from a user to access a first browser application on a first domain. A selection is received from the user to run a second browser application from within the first browser application. A first cookie is created in a second domain, with the first cookie containing information to be used by the second browser application. The second browser application is loaded on the second domain. For example, the first browser application can be a browser-based software development application.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for managing web service developer keys. A generic key identifier can be generated based on an original web service key. The generic key identifier is used within source code of an application being developed. Upon receiving a request to run the application, the generic key identifier is transformed back into the original web service key prior to calling an associated web service. Multiple users can securely share the same application that uses the web service. When one user who does not have his own original web service key accesses the application, that user can be prompted to obtain and enter the original web service key once the key has been obtained from a provider of the web service.

Abstract: A workflow design system receives a set of parameters that are to be used in a workflow, as well as an indication of a function that is to be performed in the workflow. The workflow design system uses a mapping component to map the parameters to inputs of the identified function. The workflow design system then outputs suggested mappings of the parameters to the function inputs, and optionally waits for user confirmation. Once user confirmation is received (if it is required), either the workflow design system or the mapping component automatically generates the connections between the parameters and the function inputs.
