Principles and Concepts Development
What is the real meaning of development?
Why do some countries develop and others remain poor?
What are the sources of development and how do we measure development?
Does historical record of development help us understand it better?
What are the most influential theories of development and are they compatible?
Is development process of developing nations independent or interdependent with that of developed nations?
Definition of Economic Development: 1950s
In economic terms, development is the capacity of a nation to generate and sustain an annual increase in its GNP of 5% or more.
Traditional economic measures:
GDP: is the market value of all final goods and services produced within a country in a given period of time
Y=C+I+G+NX
GNP: is the market value of all final goods and services produced by permanent residents of a country in a given period of time
GNP= GDP+ net factor income from abroad

Economic Growth may be defined as rate of expansion over a short period.
Economic growth is a single dimensional quantitative concept which is concerned only with the rate of increase in national income.

"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.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:

5.1 Development Economics Introduction
1. Development
Economics
Characteristics of Developing Nations
Topic 5.1
2. Development is..
“A process where nations
achieve higher standards of living,
happiness and fulfilment often
through economic growth.”
Obstacles to Development……
Exporting produce Less reliance on
with the world Subsistence Agriculture
Breaking the poverty cycle
Political stability
Utilising Natural Resources
3. Common characteristics of
developing countries
Low level of
productivity
Imperfect world
Low living markets
standards
Colonial
dominance and
High levels of
dependence
population growth
Overdependence
High levels of
on agriculture
unemployment
4. What are some differences
between developing countries?
Geographic and Demographic factors
Resource Endowment Political Structure
Historical Background Structure of Industry
Ethnic and Religious Breakdown Per capita income levels
5. Development Indicators
Quantitative Indicators – are based on
objective and truthful pieces of
information. Often collected in surveys
or by in a census.
Qualitative Indicators – are based on
subjective feelings, impression and
opinion. These provide a good indication
of the social health of a country.
6. Ways to evaluate Happiness Index

regions of the world

10. In what ways can development be
measured?
Composite Indicators
Human Development Index (HDI) composite of
GNP per capita
Adult literacy rate
School enrolment rate
Life expectancy
A HDI between 1 and 0.8 is
considered high, 0.8 and 0.6 is
considered medium and 0.6 to 0.4 is
considered low
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_Human_Development_Index
11. Japan = 0.956
8th in world
USA = 0.944
10th in world
Singapore = 0.918
28th in world
Zambia = 0.394
167th in world
NZ = 0.933
19h in world
Human Development Index (HDI) composite of
GNP per capita
Adult literacy rate
School enrolment rate
Life expectancy
12. Strengths of the HDI as tool to
measure Development
A strength of HDI may be selected from the list below:
It is an indicator that is a combination of social and economic
measures/indicators. It combines levels of education, life
expectancy and income. It is a comprehensive measurement.
The HDI is based on quantitative data that measure quality of life.
The use of an economic figure such as GDP/GNP does not give
an indication of social well-being or the quality of life in a country
such as how the wealth of a country may be spent to improve
the lives of its inhabitants. The HDI does this by including social
measures, such as education.
The index is based on a 0-1 scale so it is easy to judge the social
well-being of the people in a country. A figure closer to 1 shows
that the quality of life is high, a figure closer to 0 shows that the
quality of life is low.

Difference between Developing Nations
Using one page, compare two nations on their level of
Development using appropriate statistics.
Use wikipedia – HDI to find countries to compare.
Use websites to collect the data for comparison. Useful
websites include

Summary should be no more than one page, use Pg 320 of
your text book as a guide on how to compare.
