This is the slide used in the first event in the series titled, "Firefox OS for everyone", hosted at the Mozilla Community Space Bangalore on February 26, 2015.
Firefox OS is an ecosystem in itself. Everyone, not just developers, can contribute to it, and help the ecosystem grow. The aim of this presentation is to help participants learn about Firefox OS from a user point-of-view. It will enable participants to talk about Firefox OS to non-developers, by understanding the core concepts, and learning to explain them in simple words.
Everybody knows all about lean startup, MVP, customer development and product/market fit (or at least, we hope everybody does). The key tenets make total sense: MVP as the smallest possible thing you can build to complete a build-measure-learn cycle; the need for speed; charge from day one if you can and so on. A software startup can easily go through two or three build-measure-learn cycle in a couple of months.
But what if your startup is creating a hardware product, where it takes 6 months or more to manufacture the smallest possible thing you can test with?
In this talk we will explore creative ways to apply key tenets of lean startup and customer development to hardware startups (ranging from consumer electronics to industrial products), where each product development and manufacturing cycle can run 6 months or longer. With minor tweaks, the same principles that help build great software startups quickly can be used to avoid capital expenditure mistakes in hardware startups. Join the conversation.
The document discusses how developing mobile apps alone is not an effective mobile strategy. It advocates for carefully designing, building, deploying and managing digital tools to help customers increase revenues, decrease costs, and provide flexibility. The company, Flow Pilots, takes an enterprise-grade, multi-platform approach to mobile development focusing on business needs, user experience, security, and ongoing support.

Mainframe Development 2025: The Impossible JobCompuware
Next-generation mainframe developers will be responsible for the mainframe platform for the next 50 years. Yet most will not have the expertise required to care for the intellectual capital residing on their mainframes in the form of data, business logic and more. To address this critical challenge facing many IBM System z owners, Compuware has introduced Topaz, a new and highly innovative solution that empowers IT organizations to preserve and advance their mainframe investments. Elegant and simple in both design and usability, Topaz helps a new mainframe development workforce quickly master mainframe programs and data.
In this webcast, you'll see a demo of Topaz's powerful capabilities including:
Visualization of data relationships – understand and manage the data relationships across your enterprise with the Relationship Visualizer.
Editing data across platforms – browse and edit mainframe and non-mainframe data with the Enterprise Data Editor, a single intuitive user interface to manage Oracle, SQL Server, IMS, DB2 and other data types.
Simplified file transfers – drag and drop to move files and data using Host-to-Host copy.

Will I Be Replaced by a Script? (The Future of Network Engineering)Chris Grundemann
For almost 20 years, the networking world has been relatively stable. A handful of protocols have supported most networks the world over. Some of the biggest changes were circuit types evolving and bandwidth going up. Today buzzwords like SDN and DevOps seem to threaten our very existence as network engineers. We’re being promised centralized control planes, orchestration, automation, and disaggregation. But what does that mean for your career? Is the CLI-jockey an endangered species? Will a script replace my job? Let’s find out together in this fast paced talk from a NetNerd who’s been around the block, and then some.
Presentation: Engage.ug March 2015 by Peter Presnell
Many organizations are now investing in the development of web interfaces for their existing (and new) Notes/Domino applications. Now is the perfect time to start paying down on the technical debt we have accumulated to ensure that we don’t pass on an unsustainable software development deficit to those that will follow. With this presentation we will challenge the notion that trickle down development based on XPages is the next logical step in that evolution. While XPages still has a place in the world of modern Domino development we will explore new approaches and alternative technologies that have the potential to deliver a brighter prosperous.
Intergen Twilight Seminar: What's shaping the Business Systems of the FutureIntergen
What’s shaping the Business Systems of the Future
With the abundance of desktop and mobile devices and platforms, there are now numerous ways for consumers and information workers alike to create and consume applications and services. Enterprise applications are having to evolve to keep up, and your ERP system is no exception – like all other applications, they too need to move with the times.
The session focussed on emerging trends in business solutions from Microsoft and a forward looking view on what Microsoft Dynamics ERP might look like in the future. In this session, we covered:
- How business processes can be embedded into users’ own devices
- How social systems are influencing business system design – how Microsoft Dynamics is responding to the growing influence of social systems
- Previewing design concepts for the future versions of Dynamics ERP applications, including a Metro-based application
Presented by James Page and Nick Johnson of Intergen along with Sue Driscoll of Microsoft, this session provided an exclusive behind the scenes look at how Microsoft’s ERP solutions could evolve in the future.

This document discusses the differences between native mobile apps and mobile web applications. It argues that the question is more about whether to use the web or apps, not HTML5 vs native. There are many factors to consider in this decision including device diversity, level of user interaction needed, cost, and whether it will provide business value. For apps specifically, it recommends using a native approach for app-focused companies but considering hybrid or cross-platform frameworks if both web and apps are part of the strategy depending on performance needs and cost efficiency.

Time's Up! Getting Value from Big Data NowEric Kavanagh
The Briefing Room with Dr. Robin Bloor and CASK
We all know the promise of big data, but who gets the value? There are plenty of success stories already, and most of them involve one key ingredient: facilitated access to important data sets. Most research studies suggest that the Pareto principle applies: 80 percent goes to data integration, and only 20 to analysis. Inverting that balance is the Holy Grail.
Register for this episode of The Briefing Room to hear veteran Analyst Dr. Robin Bloor explain why the time has finally come for turning the tables on the status quo in analytics. He'll be briefed by CASK CEO Jonathan Gray, who will showcase his company's big data integration platform, CDAP, which was specifically designed to expedite time-to-value for big data.
Wave Analytics Cloud is a new analytics platform that allows anyone to easily get insights from any data or app. It is mobile-enabled so insights can be accessed from anywhere and acted on. The platform is open and schema-free so it can handle big data and scale to large volumes of data from multiple sources. A demo showed how easily users can search, visualize, and get answers from their data in Wave.
The Central Hub: Defining the Data LakeEric Kavanagh
Exploratory Webcast with Dr. Robin Bloor and Dez Blanchfield
It has many aliases – pond, reservoir, swamp – but the concept of the Data Lake has gained a strong foothold in today’s data ecosystem. Its early days saw it used primarily as a landing zone for raw data, but a range of new application areas are emerging, from self-service analytics and BI to a wholly governed and secure data store. As the Data Lake matures, they key is to tie its broad functionality to business value.
Register for this Exploratory Webcast to hear Dr. Robin Bloor offer his perspective on why the information landscape is changing and what the various roles of the Data Lake are thus far. He’ll be joined by Data Scientist Dez Blanchfield, who will discuss his hypothesis of the future of data management and suggest ideas for surviving the Data Lake hype.
Hitachi Data Systems is transforming to address changing market and technology trends. It will continue providing storage solutions but expand into new, valuable services by leveraging its expertise in building and managing machines and data. HDS aims to create end-to-end vertical solutions across industries like healthcare, oil and gas, and transportation by combining its domain knowledge, technology, and partnerships.

And with hundreds of thousands of apps out there, what will make people choose and use yours? What makes a good mobile user interface? And how can you make sure your company actually delivers one?
Responsive design might make sense if you've got a content driven website. But how should your web team work together when every web page they are making needs to work at any width and resolution? And can you get the content under control to make pages that really make sense on small screens and big ones?

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
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.

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).

› Find the software you need
› Make sure it all works together
• Because finding one package is impossible
› Could be quite expensive
› Will need to compromise
› And getting software vendors to
interoperate is difficult
14. Software Strategies
› Build
› Design and write everything you need
› No compromise required
• Except on price
• And time
› Don’t forget budget to
maintain your creation
15. Software Strategies
› Connect
› Buy the simplest tools that deliver
appropriate point solutions
› Make sure everything is “open”
› That is, can be connected to by anything else
› Write the bits that connect
everything together
› This is the basis of Web 2.0
› Mashups!
› And the key term is “API”
17. What Do The Users Get?
Start with a web application
› Be generic as possible
› That is, don’t just support
Internet Explorer
18. What Do The Users Get?
Start with the basic functions
› Enhance over time
› But have an idea of what your
end-goal is
19. What Do The Users Get?
Maybe enhance with a
platform-specific app
› Delivers better user experience
› But increases cost to develop
and support
20. The Problem With Apps
Apps for a platform are
great
› Best user experience
› Deliver greatest control
21. The Problem With Apps
But what platform will you support?
›
›
›
›
›
Apple mobile ecosystem
Apple OS-X
Android
Microsoft Windows Mobile
Microsoft Windows
22. The Problem With Apps
And what about different
form factors?
› Screen size
› Resolution
› Aspect ratio
23. Who Will Do This?
Software development
› Will become (or is!) a core function of IT
› IT becomes a core function of your business
› Could be internal
› If you’re big enough
› Or external
› Leverage from a development
company’s experience
24. Other Considerations
› Don’t forget about security
› Ongoing maintenance
› Still need to budget for this
› Enhancements
› Scalability
› What happens if you are
amazingly popular?
26. How Is This Relevant?
What does this have to
do with me?
27. You need to enable
your users
Internal &
External
They will
be mobile
Make information and
processes available to
everyone who needs
them
28. Takeaways
› Mobile technology isn’t going away
› It will be integral to your business
› IT is crucial to your business
› It isn’t just a cost centre
› Software development is ongoing
› Necessary to ensure your business stays relevant
