Whitespace, or negative space, is an important design resource that exists between objects and content. While whitespace is often seen as empty or wasted space, it actually helps define objects and content by creating separation. Properly utilizing whitespace can help resolve conflicts between elements on a page and improve readability.

Alcuni consigli pratici per una presentazione efficace
Quante volte avete partecipato a un convegno e avete visto un relatore presentare le proprie slide fitte di testo o con colori improbabili o piene di grafici incomprensibili?
Qui trovi alcuni consigli per rendere le tue presentazione in Power Point più chiara, più comprensibile e più efficace.
Scoprirai, ad esempio che è utile affiancare delle immagini al testo perché le persone ricordano solo il 10% di quello che ascoltano ma questa percentuale sale al 65% se ascoltano e allo stesso tempo vedono un contenuto.

La presentazione contiene tutte le foto contenute nel testo "La comunicazione politica online. Come usare il web per costruire consenso e stimolare la partecipazione".
Nel volume cartaceo le dimensioni e la stampa in bianco e nero impongono dei limiti alla visualizzazione delle immagini.
Qui puoi vedere a colori e dimensioni maggiori tutte le fotografie e i video citati nel testo e altre immagini che non hanno trovato spazio nel volume per ragioni di spazio.

Come dare un’immagine di sicurezza e di professionalità? Come usare il corpo, la voce e lo sguardo per attirare l'attenzione di chi ci ascolta e farsi capire?
Parlare in pubblico genera ansia e tensione anche negli oratori più esperti. Una recente ricerca ha dimostrato che fra le fobie delle persone parlare in pubblico viene prima della guerra, della bancarotta e delle malattie.
Il risultato? Molto spesso chi parla in pubblico inizia a parlare o a leggere il proprio intervento velocemente con la testa tuffata sul proprio testo scritto senza guardare il pubblico. Lo fa a ritmo velocissimo, proprio per finire il più in fretta possibile e terminare la situazione di disagio.
Non sarebbe così grave se non fosse che un oratore che non sa usare il linguaggio del corpo, il tono della vice, che non interagisce con l’uditorio, non consente di far arrivare il suo messaggio. Le persone non riescono a seguirlo, si distraggono o addirittura non riescono a sentire quello che dice.
In questa presentazione ho sintetizzato alcuni di consigli utili sia a chi non ha mai parlato in pubblico sia a chi lo fa più spesso ma vuole migliorare il suo stile.

Spesso si pensa che per essere convincenti sia sufficiente "dire le cose come stanno".
Ma chiunque abbia provato a convincere una persona che aveva un'opinione diversa dalla sua si sarà accorto che per quanti fatti, ragioni, dati, statistiche gli presentasse, quella persona rimaneva della sua opinione.
Questo accade perché i meccanismi di funzionamento della mente umana sono un po' diversi dalla rappresentazione che il modello del razionalismo illuminista ci ha proposto.
In questa presentazione troverai alcuni strumenti che puoi usare per aumentare l'efficacia dei tuoi discorsi e che puoi usare non solo in ambito politico, ma anche nel contesto aziendale o a casa, con il tuo partner o i tuoi figli.
Usare (al meglio) le immagini nelle slide.
Scegliere, posizionare e usare al meglio le immagini per creare presentazioni davvero efficaci con PowerPoint.
La scelta, il posizionamento, il rapporto con il testo, piccoli dettagli tecnici che fanno la differenza e tanti siti da cui attingere per trovare immagini.

Presentazioni efficaci: come organizzare il discorso
L'obiettivo di questa presentazione: imparare a organizzare gli elementi del discorso per convincere chi vi ascolta e presentare al meglio le vostre proposte.
Quante volte ci è capitato nel corso di una presentazione di non vedere l’ora che fosse finita?
Ovviamente si tratta di presentazioni che non riescono a raggiungere l’obiettivo.
Spesso ci si dimentica, infatti, la ragione stessa per cui si fa una presentazione, ci si concentra sul contenuto ma si dimentica lo scopo.
Definirlo chiaramente è, quindi, il primo passo.
Cosa vogliamo ottenere con questa presentazione? Far passare una proposta? Dare un’informazione? Invitare le persone a visitare un sito?
E' importante chiarirlo prima di iniziare a preparare la presentazione.
Ma come procedere poi?
L'organizzazione dell'informazione è un elemento importantissimo. Qui trovi una proposta di schema per organizzare l'informazione in modo efficace: quali informazioni inserire prima, quali dopo? In che modo condurre le persone che ti ascoltano a prendere la decisione che proponi?
Sul mio blog trovi altri materiali sulla comunicazione efficace: http://gianlucagiansante.com/
Fight the Power(point)!
The document provides tips for designing and delivering effective presentations. It discusses the importance of design principles like contrast, alignment, proximity and using visuals like photos and charts to engage audiences. Specific tips include limiting text on slides, using no more than two font styles, constraining the number of words and bullet points per slide. For delivery, it recommends practicing your presentation, engaging the audience, speaking conversationally and finishing strongly by reiterating your key messages. The overall message is that effective presentation requires considering both design and delivery techniques to communicate clearly and hold audience attention.

Sample slides based on Food, Inc.
This new documentary looks good: (Food, Inc. trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf4ZmfjyEvI ). So I went to the website and found a simple postcard with 10 points about what you can do. It's USA-centric but I though it had some good (though incomplete) points. I whipped these up very quickly just as an experiment. The slides were created in Keynote, saved as JPEGs, and put back into ppt (also as an experiment to see how the render in Slideshare). Aspect ratio is 16x9. I have no affiliation with the Movie whatsoever, just an interested 3rd party.
The Secrets Of Simplicity
The document discusses the concept of simplicity from multiple perspectives. It provides quotes that define simplicity as nature's first step, a key to happiness, and the output of a creative process. Additionally, it notes that simplicity requires serious thought, is a balancing act in design, and means achieving maximum effect with minimum means.

Powerpoint e il fascino morboso dello sfondo
Un presentazione dedicata agli sfondi delle presentazioni e al loro fascino morboso (e pericoloso)
Presentation Secrets
1) The document introduces Alexei Kapterev, who published a popular presentation on presentation skills 4 years ago and has since become an expert in the field.
2) While most presentations still suffer from issues like poor structure, bad slides, and boring delivery, Kapterev believes everyone can learn to present well by focusing on a few key principles rather than rules.
3) The principles of focus, contrast, and unity are described as more effective than rules, and examples are given of how to apply these principles to structure, slides, and delivery.
How to make Awesome Diagrams for your slides
Some guidelines for making your presentation diagrams more understandable, efficient and visually pleasant.
STEAL THIS PRESENTATION!
This document is a presentation about designing effective PowerPoint slides. It provides tips over several slides on how to design slides with a killer title and opening slide, use of color schemes and images, getting the text right, using the principles of contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity (CRAP), incorporating video, sharing the presentation online, and recapping the key tips. The presentation emphasizes the importance of visual design over text-heavy slides and using techniques like strong images and video to engage the audience in a way words alone cannot. It provides examples throughout to illustrate its tips.
Beyond software evolution: Software environmentalism
The document discusses compound annual growth rates (CAGRs) that were calculated based on software size data from six products described in previous Impact columns over periods ranging from seven to 22 years. The CAGRs for the six products fell within a surprisingly narrow range of 1.11 to 1.29, providing empirical evidence that software growth averages around 15% per year. The findings suggest that claims about software doubling every two years align with observed growth rates.

GT Spotter
GT Spotter is a search tool that is part of the Glamorous Toolkit made by the Glamorous Team. It allows for instantaneous searching of classes, packages, implementors, code, objects, files, examples, and more within an IDE. GT Spotter can also integrate user-defined objects, making it a powerful search tool that goes beyond just code. It aims to provide a unified search workflow within an IDE.
Don't demo facts. Demo stories! (handouts)
The document discusses different ways of conceptualizing and designing for value. It explores directly measurable, indirectly measurable, and more vague notions of value. It advocates designing for all types of value, not just direct or easy to measure ones. The document also discusses using impact mapping and feedback to track value throughout development. It emphasizes letting engineers show value and presenting through stories to get stakeholders engaged.
Don't demo facts. Demo stories!
The document discusses the importance of demonstrating stories rather than just presenting facts when giving presentations or demos. It suggests that storytelling is a more engaging way to show information, as stories help convey the context and reasons behind whatever is being presented.
Humane assessment on cards
This set of cards provides a visual tour of the humane assessment method for making software engineering decisions.
Underneath Scrum: Reflective Thinking
The document discusses reflection and key concepts in Scrum like inspection, adaptation, and transparency. It provides examples of using reflection in programming through inspecting Java object methods. Reflection is defined as the ability of a system to inspect and adapt itself.
1800+ TED talks later
I watched 1800+ TED talks. I watched all those published on ted.com. Why? Because I am a TED addict. And because each of these talks reminds me that storytelling is essential in everything we do.
Facts are important, but facts alone have no value. They have to be consumed to worthwhile. Stories make this happen by getting us involved. This applies to researching novel ways, it applies to creating products, it applies to leading people, it applies to educating kids, and it applies to marriage proposals. Essentially, it applies to anything worth doing.
Storytelling is what makes stories happen. But, storytelling is a skill, and like any skill, it can be learnt.
For example, an easy way to learn is to listen to good examples. Like TED talks. But, there are many ways to learn. And, there are even more ways to apply.
It only takes us to invest in it. Why?
Because storytelling is essential.
Software assessment by example (lecture at the University of Bern)

Moose: how to solve real problems without reading code
I use this set of slides for a talk I gave at ESUG 2014.
Abstract:
Moose is a platform for software and data analysis (http://moosetechnology.org). It runs on Pharo and it can help you figure out problems around software systems.
In this talk, I show several real-life examples of how custom tools built on top of Moose helped solve concrete problems. The examples vary both in scope and in the kind of problems. For example, we talk about how we fixed a caching problem in a Java system by analyzing logs, or how we fixed a Morphic problem by means of visualization and interaction. Even if these problems are so different, all of them were solvable with one uniform set of programmable tools.
That is the power of Moose, and it is now at the fingertips of any Pharo programmer.
Software Environmentalism (ECOOP 2014 Keynote)
We cannot continue to let systems loose in the wild without any concern for how we will deal with them at a later time. Two decades ago, Richard Gabriel coined the idea of software habitability. Indeed, given that engineers spend a significant part of their active life inside software systems, it is desirable for that system to be suitable for humans to live there.
We go further and introduce the concept of software environmentalism based on a simple principle: Engineers have the right to build upon assessable systems and have the responsibility of producing assessable systems.
The emergent nature of software systems
This slideshow offers an argument for how the structure of a software system has an inherently emergent nature.

I used these slides for a lecture I gave at the University of Zurich on the topic of Presenting is storytelling.
Presenting is storytelling at Uni Zurich - handouts (2014-03-05)
The document discusses the importance of designing effective presentation slides. It emphasizes that slides should serve as visual aids to support the story or message being conveyed, not as the main focus. Key recommendations include using few details on slides to avoid clutter, leaving whitespace to guide the eye, and ensuring the slides emphasize the presenter's one main message. The goal is for slides to enhance and reinforce the story or talk, not distract from it.
Underneath Scrum: Reflective Thinking (talk at Scrum Breakfast Bern, 2013)
Scrum is a framework that emphasizes transparency, inspection, and adaptation through regular inspection of progress and adaptation of the process based on lessons learned. Reflection refers to a system's ability to inspect and adapt itself. The document discusses reflection in the context of Scrum and compares features of Java and Smalltalk like method inspection. It advocates for explicit reflection in software development processes.
Demo-driven innovation teaser
The document discusses innovation and the process of innovation. It argues that innovation involves challenging assumptions, designing solutions, getting feedback, and enabling others. The key aspects of innovation are reshaping assumptions, developing a demo to validate ideas, and listening to feedback, especially negative feedback. Innovation is not a solitary process but a collaborative one that requires giving back to others.

I gave this lecture on November 20, 2013 to the second year software engineering students from the University of Bern.
Demo-driven innovation (University of Zurich, June 2013)
- The document discusses the importance of whitespace in design and presentation. It emphasizes that whitespace is a resource that should be used carefully and intentionally, as excessive or meaningless whitespace can detract from the message.
- Specific tips discussed include removing unnecessary words, elements, or "chart junk"; using whitespace to increase readability and focus on key data or messages; and treating whitespace as an intentional part of the design rather than just empty space.
- The overall message is that whitespace, like other design elements, must be carefully managed to effectively communicate the desired message or story.
Humane assessment with Moose at GOTO Aarhus 2011

Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Whitespace
- 2. whitespace is an all too often forgotten design resource
- 3. whitespace is also called the negative space
- 4. between whitespace is the space between what you see
- 5. whitespace is defined by the objects inside
- 6. whitespace is defined by the objects inside
- 7. whitespace is not necessarily white
- 8. in this example, whitespace and content are in conflict
- 9. one small difference solves the conflict
- 10. but, is whitespace a wasted space?
- 11. no. if you fill it completely, you lose all content
