Demystifying the Agile experience...
Most Agile guidelines and training treat all scrum team members as equal co-owners of all aspects of the development process and assume a pure and established Agile environment. Many, arguably most, real world Agile implementations, are less than pure, stable, or ideal. Most require additional considerations for non-development team members such as content developers (technical writers), and to some extent, testers.
I created "Guidelines for Content Development in an Agile Scrum Environment" in an effort to addresses the many unique challenges facing content developers who are transitioning from a traditional waterfall model to Agile. I based the original presentation on my research into Agile Lean, Scrum, and Kanban development methods. I supplemented it with Agile management, Agile scrum team member, and Agile ScumMaster certification training. I balanced my research and training against 12 years experience managing technical content development projects in the high tech industry. Finally, I refined this material over a 2 1/2 year period of real world application with a team of 60+ content developers assigned to scrum teams using development processes that ranged from near textbook Agile to "Agile in Name Only."
I won't pretend these Guidelines contain everything you need to know about content development in all Agile environments, but if your content development team is new to Agile or is moving to Agile in the near future, I'm certain this will help you make the transition.

Why you should embrace Gradle and ditch MavenGijsLeussink
Abstract: Still using Maven as a build tool in your projects? If so, are you using it because you think it is a great tool, or just because you’ve always done it this way? Within 15 minutes we’ll share with you the reasons that made us ditch Maven and fall in love with our build tool again. Be aware though, after you’ve visited this quickie there is a big chance you’ll find yourself migrating all your projects tonight. Luckily, this is easier than you might think.

Mobile and agile the floating writer's survival kitAlyssa Fox
Agile development is a popular methodology used by software companies. This presentation describes how technical writers can transition to agile development smoothly when they float among several cross-functional project teams.
You're organised, you love spreadsheets, you're a great cheerleader, you handle a backlog with superhero skills, and now you're faced with managing a Drupal project and everything just feels foreign. It's not you, it's Drupal. The mix of site building, front end development, backend development, and over 20,000 contributed modules makes project management for Drupal exceptionally frustrating for people who've not worked with Drupal before.
This session will cover:
- the basic Drupal development workflow (from a developer's perspective, but without using developer jargon)
writing useful tickets which developers can accomplish
- estimation tips for multi-discipline tickets (design / back end / front end)
- ideal team structures -- and what to do if you can't get them
Updated from DrupalCamp London to include the truisms I've learned about being a first-time project manager.
DocOps: Documentation at the Speed of AgileMary Connor
Presented at Keep Austin Agile 2016: How to we make documentation "Agile", given the Agile Manifesto? How do you get into the Definition of Done? What does "DocOps" mean, in the simplest and broadest terms? What should your requirements be for a DocOps transformation, and how do you find a tool stack that fits them? Where do you start, and how do you escape a waterfall reengineering of your legacy docs?
Slides from the Structured Authoring Workshop at TC Camp 2014 by Tracy Baker, Amy Bowman, and Wendy Shaffer.
The road from traditional book-based authoring to DITA and topic-based authoring is full of potholes.
How do you chop up a book into self-contained topics and put it back together into something that makes sense?
How do you handle reuse and linking?
And how do you wrap your mind around new tools and workflows while still getting your job done?
Three people who have made the trip share their experiences and lessons-learned to help you get to DITA/TBA without taking too many wrong turns.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Final project report on grocery store management system..pdfKamal Acharya
In today’s fast-changing business environment, it’s extremely important to be able to respond to client needs in the most effective and timely manner. If your customers wish to see your business online and have instant access to your products or services.
Online Grocery Store is an e-commerce website, which retails various grocery products. This project allows viewing various products available enables registered users to purchase desired products instantly using Paytm, UPI payment processor (Instant Pay) and also can place order by using Cash on Delivery (Pay Later) option. This project provides an easy access to Administrators and Managers to view orders placed using Pay Later and Instant Pay options.
In order to develop an e-commerce website, a number of Technologies must be studied and understood. These include multi-tiered architecture, server and client-side scripting techniques, implementation technologies, programming language (such as PHP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) and MySQL relational databases. This is a project with the objective to develop a basic website where a consumer is provided with a shopping cart website and also to know about the technologies used to develop such a website.
This document will discuss each of the underlying technologies to create and implement an e- commerce website.
Cosmetic shop management system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
Buying new cosmetic products is difficult. It can even be scary for those who have sensitive skin and are prone to skin trouble. The information needed to alleviate this problem is on the back of each product, but it's thought to interpret those ingredient lists unless you have a background in chemistry.
Instead of buying and hoping for the best, we can use data science to help us predict which products may be good fits for us. It includes various function programs to do the above mentioned tasks.
Data file handling has been effectively used in the program.
The automated cosmetic shop management system should deal with the automation of general workflow and administration process of the shop. The main processes of the system focus on customer's request where the system is able to search the most appropriate products and deliver it to the customers. It should help the employees to quickly identify the list of cosmetic product that have reached the minimum quantity and also keep a track of expired date for each cosmetic product. It should help the employees to find the rack number in which the product is placed.It is also Faster and more efficient way.
