Over the course of a project or product design small assumptions and poor decisions can accumulate. Smart teams invest time to research and plan early using rapid UI prototyping. Combined with usability studies and research, prototypes help teams move in an educated direction.
Unleash your artistic side and become a better testerChristina Ohanian
Creativity is usually characterised by the ability to perceive things in new ways, finding hidden patterns, and making connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena.
It is sometimes thought that only certain people can be creative, and in order to be creative you need a special talent. This is far from the truth; everyone expresses creativity in their own unique way.
I love to express creativity though drawing and illustrations. Drawing has, in fact, enabled me to become a better tester and communicator, and as a result I have used this skill to learn the importance of collaboration and conversations within my development teams.
In this talk I will share with you my story of the how I have used drawing as a crucial element of software testing, particularly where discovery and collaboration are the ultimate outcome for ‘building the right thing’. I will also share how I have succeeded in enabling my own growth as a coach and facilitator and opened the doors to the next step in my career.
Creativity stems creativity - how will you unleash your creative side?
Ten easy to implement ways to grow your online community. A thriving community offers you greater opportunities and be perceived as an influencer and expert in your field of expertise.
I'm the gamification designer in Faranesh, one amazing e-learning platform that's done well in the last two years and going to be a market leader in our country. They asked me to give an introduction to gamification for the team and also find a way to be applicable to the lifestyle of the young and entrepreneur.

Android Clean Architecture for DummiesKengo Suzuki
Brief tutorial of implementing very primitive app(single list view) using Android Clean Architecture. It won't describe what and why, but rather, how to use it.
Explanation of Android MVP Architecture Pattern. This slide deck is used to explain the principles behind the pattern. It has a companion github repository which helps demonstrate the pattern.
https://github.com/jpotts18/android-mvp
Over the last year there has been a lot of buzz about Clean Architecture in the Android community, but what is Clean Architecture? How does it work? And should I be using it? Recently at Badoo we decided to rewrite our messenger component.
Over the years this core piece of functionality in our app has become large and unwieldy. We wanted to take a fresh approach to try and prevent this from happening again. We choose to use Clean Architecture to achieve our goal. This talk intends to share our journey from theory to implementation in an application with over 100 million downloads. By the end, you should not only understand what Clean Architecture is, but how to implement it, and whether you should.

A Separation of Concerns: Clean Architecture on AndroidOutware Mobile
Presented at YOW! Connected 2015 by Kamal Kamal Mohamed & Ryan Hodgman
As an Android developer, I want to deliver features without making compromises on code quality.
Scenario 1 - Given I am dealing with 1000+ line activities, When I have to develop a complicated feature, Then I waste time orienting myself and fixing bugs.
Scenario 2 - Given I have integrated a backend API directly into my app logic, When that API changes, Then I have to refactor large segments of unrelated logic in order to utilise the new API.
Scenario 3 - Given I have cleanly architected my application, When business/presentation/backend logic changes, Then I can easily update the relevant code without breaking unrelated features!
In this talk, two Android developers will present their take on what a cleanly architected app looks like and why it makes our lives easier. A well-defined separation of concerns has benefits not just for our sanity as developers, but also for the project workflow as it allows multiple developers to collaborate on a single feature with ease. We will be exploring how the domain-driven approach can improve code clarity, allow you to easily write tests, and provide a scalable infrastructure for you to quickly iterate on. Join us on our path of discovery as we discuss the advantages, drawbacks and implementation specifics in the context of a small sample project.
Presentation from JSChannel Conference Bangalore on July 18, 2015. An Introductory workshop session covering the basics of how to use React.js and the Flux pattern, and the advantages they can offer: One-Way Data Flow, Decoupled components, and Independence from the Render Context.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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:

Why You Should Replace Windows 11 with Nitrux Linux 3.5.0 for enhanced perfor...SOFTTECHHUB
The choice of an operating system plays a pivotal role in shaping our computing experience. For decades, Microsoft's Windows has dominated the market, offering a familiar and widely adopted platform for personal and professional use. However, as technological advancements continue to push the boundaries of innovation, alternative operating systems have emerged, challenging the status quo and offering users a fresh perspective on computing.
One such alternative that has garnered significant attention and acclaim is Nitrux Linux 3.5.0, a sleek, powerful, and user-friendly Linux distribution that promises to redefine the way we interact with our devices. With its focus on performance, security, and customization, Nitrux Linux presents a compelling case for those seeking to break free from the constraints of proprietary software and embrace the freedom and flexibility of open-source computing.
