"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

3. The Window This is a MS Word window. It has the elements that ALL Windows windows have ! Menu bar Title bar Scroll bars Tool bar Minimize Maximize/Restore buttons Close

8. Tool Bar A toolbar is a row, column, or block of onscreen buttons or icons that, when clicked, activate certain functions of the program. The icons usually represent the most commonly-used commands in an application. For example, the standard toolbar in Word includes buttons for changing text to italic, bold, or other styles. Typically, a toolbar appears under a menu bar The toolbar can usually be customized so that the user can add those tasks most regularly performed. These are all toolbars Menu bar
9. Important tools to recognize and use Most of these tools are standard in all windows programs. When you roll your mouse over each one without clicking, you will see a reminder of what each tool does. save Open Print preview new email Print Spell check Clicking once removes the last change you made to your document. If you click again, it will undo the change before that one. If you click on the tiny arrow next to the icon, you can see the list of the previous actions and pick how far back to UNDO cut copy paste If you are in MS Word, it will a blank document screen. In MS Excel, a blank spreadsheet, etc. Spell check helps to find spelling errors. We will look into this more closely when we study MS Word. We will cover these important commands later in this lesson . This shows you on the screen what your finished document will look like when it is printed. It is a great tool to check your document spacing on the page. Sends the current document to your printer Gives you the option to attach this document to an email, or include it in the body of the email. Helps you navigate to a document that you have already worked on and saved. Saves your document so that you can work on it again later. Undo –

11. File menu commands There are usually several ways to do the same thing in Windows. Many of the choices on this pull down menu are also buttons on the toolbar. You can either click on the toolbar, or pull down the file menu and click here. Closes a file the same as clicking on the close button in the right hand corner of the titlebar. Allows you to make a copy of the document by saving it with a different name Change page formatting options such as margins Exit the application These are a few more common windows commands always found on the file pull down menu
