The process behind making a blockbuster film is similar to creating a meaningful website or app. Through the lens of cinema, we’ll walk through practical ways that UX design teams can work together to deliver an award-winning final product. Whether you’re making a low-budget indie for a non-profit or the next summer smash for a Fortune 500, we can learn a thing or two from film.
Rome, Romance. How could the two not go together? Daunting traffic may make you think twice about zipping around the city on a Vespa like Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant in Roman Holiday. But nothing can detract you from the sheer emotion of sharing a multi-hued sunset behind the dome of St. Peter’s, a walk in the footsteps of romantic poets or an ice cream at a pavement café table as the theatrical scene that is Rome rushes by.

Static Sites Can be the Solution (Simon Wood)Future Insights
Taken from this month's (17th July) London Web meet-up (http://londonweb.org) - we were joined by Simon Wood. Based in Kent, Simon is a passionate tech/geek and is currently Head of Technology and Innovation at the Shortbreaks and New Ventures division of Holiday Extras, a travel technology company. Simon is also acting CTO for miDrive an in-house Start Up incubator.
Simon's session description for Static Sites Can be the Solution:
"We build complex dynamic websites as a first port of call but these are slow, have issues with scaling and can be complex to host. I believe we should more often look to static sites first. I will demonstrate why static sites are such a good choice and show you how you can build static sites, using tools like Jekyll and other static site generators. We will cover how they can be hosted on S3 and GitHub pages and talk about how they can be frequently updated with the correct workflow even though they are static. You can have a blog on a static site and still make regular new blog posts and have dynamic content."

Structuring Data from Unstructured Things. Sean Lorenz
Data coming from Internet of Things (IoT) product sensors can be hard to manage or know what to do with. In this talk Sean will discuss ways to tame IoT data sources by organizing and pruning that information effectively. He will also discuss the importance of time series when culminating sensor, metadata and other data sources together, making it vastly easier to query or perform analytics on your newly structured data.
A summary of the current (May 2012) issues and solutions to accessing the iPad, iPod and iPhone for people with disabilities (notably Physical Disabilities)
Judy Bruce and Samantha Dietz explore the importance of collaboration between UX design and content strategy, share what they learned from conversations with their peers in the Chicago digital community, and identify best practices that you can put into action on your next UX project.
Tell Me What You Do - How Storytelling Can Transform Artifacts Into Engagemen...UXPA International
Describing what we do has never been harder — the complexity of the design landscape has exploded. At the same time, it’s more important than ever that we effectively convey our ideas to audiences who have little or no knowledge of what we do, how we do it and why.
While it’s easy to convey skills, it’s difficult to show thinking and process — the essence of our work. Many design artifacts are dry and flat — often showing a snapshot rather than capturing the depth and breadth of an experience. Fortunately, there is a method most of us are already familiar with and can come to master: STORYTELLING.
This session will teach beginners and masters alike how to improve their communication skills by transforming artifacts into narratives — increasing meaning, boosting understanding and demonstrating value.
Tell Me What You Do: How Storytelling Makes You a Better DesignerMary Wharmby
As design asks for a larger seat at the table and works to foster a culture of customer-centered design-thinking, we must better communicate our process and value to others who don't understand this mysterious power of UX. Storytelling is a great way to do that.
Despite the fact that we talk a lot about story in UX, we have trouble putting it into practice, especially our own stories.
This talk recasts our design process as story, making it more impactful and relatable to others. We discuss the uses of story in UX, provide a visual map of the UX story framework (UXStoryWheel), and demonstrate a few simple story patterns.

Recognize, hire and work with great ux peopleLuca Candela
User Experience has become fundamental in web-based products and applications, and the role of the Product Manager now requires familiarity with new techniques, jargon and workflows.
On top of that, understanding what separates great UX people from mediocre ones is hard without a profound knowledge of the subject.

Pulling Rabbits Out of Your Ass - UX Design FundamentalsCiprian Pălici
This is a presentation I did a few years ago for a student organization about the the fundamentals of User Experience Design. It was meant to be funny and the drawings were done using an iPad and my fingers, in order to illustrate the idea that Tools Don't Matter :)
When you can make just about anything, how do you know which option is the best one for modeling your ideas when it’s time to get started? Fifty years before ‘prototyping’ became a familiar concept, Jim Henson was mastering its foundational elements—using his muppets, of course. Henson also faced the same challenge that contemporary User Experience professionals know well: the paradox of prototyping choice; in tools and in process. Henson had notebooks full of ideas in various stages of development, and when he was ready to see which of his ideas were worth refining, he turned to sketching, storyboarding, patterns, iteration, and live testing to deterring his next steps.
Jim Henson was a UXer at his core. He cared about an authentic experience for his audience, and ensured that his team produced great work without spending any more time than was necessary to validate ideas. This early UXer can teach us a lot about how to apply those principles to the work we do today, with or without the help of Muppets.
Pragmatic Security and Rugged DevOps - SXSW 2015James Wickett
From SXSW Interactive 2015
Writing code that works is hard. Writing rugged code that can stand the test of time is even harder. This difficulty is often compounded by crunched timelines and fast cycles that prioritize new features. Add in evolving business needs and new technology and it becomes confusing to know what to do and how to integrate security into your application.
This workshop brings in some of the top developers and application security practitioners to help you ruggedize your end-to-end development lifecycle from code commit to running system.
Three Takeaways:
1. You will learn pragmatic approaches and tooling that will affect your development processes and delivery pipelines.
2. Armed with tools and ideas for monitoring your operational and runtime security.
3. You will walk away with code examples and tools that you can put into practice right away for security and rugged testing.

A Universal Theory of Everything, Christopher MurphyFuture Insights
Taken from the Future of Web Design, New York 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/nyc-2015/
Drawing on over two decades of experience designing and developing digital products, Christopher will walk you through everything he's learned along the way. He'll break apart the creative process, exploring how an understanding of that process, leads you to become a better designer. In this session, he'll explore how the best designers: firstly 'prime the brain' by ensuring it is constantly nourished with new material; then explore that material from multiple perspectives to gain a deep understanding of it; before, finally, putting those pieces back together again to create exciting new ideas that stand the test of time. In short, he'll ensure you leave the session fully creativity-hardened and never short of ideas again.

Reading Your Users’ Minds: Empiricism, Design, and Human Behavior, Shane F. B...Future Insights
Taken from the Future of Web Design, New York 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/nyc-2015/
How do you decide what your users really need? The difficult truth is that the best web design comes from finding out for yourself. Luckily for anyone passionate about improving web-based human interaction, the field of psychology can shed light on common motivations, needs, and biases that are powerful influences on human behavior. In this session, you’ll learn about how these psychological forces—such as prospect theory, metacognitive fluency, and the introspection illusion—can shed light on UX, design, and conversion.
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
In the last few years, we’ve seen an emergence of a modular way of thinking about code and design. We’ve seen the rise of SMACSS, BEM, and Atomic Design. This talk will look at those modular concepts and how they can streamline development for large and long-running projects. We’ll also look at how these approaches can ease responsive design and development. Lastly, we will look at where the modular approach is going in the future as Web Components slowly make their way into browsers and application frameworks.
Designing an Enterprise CSS Framework is Hard, Stephanie RewisFuture Insights
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
It seems that not a week goes by without a shiny new framework of some type — be it CSS or JS. But no matter how awesome they are, each have shortcomings and idiosyncrasies that invariably make you ask, 'Why?' Now imagine someone gave you the ability to start from scratch to create your own framework. No strings. No preconceptions — well, except that it has to be enterprise scale, platform agnostic, and work in a whole host of disparate situations. In this session, Stephanie will talk about some of the challenges, hurdles, tradeoffs, and unique decisions Salesforce UX made on the way to building an enterprise framework.
Accessibility Is More Than What Lies In The Code, Jennison AsuncionFuture Insights
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
Many associate making a digital product accessible with the guidelines and specifications that address themselves at the code-level. In short, the developers/engineers will take care of it. While the thoughtful implementation of accessible code during the development phase is unquestionable, the truth is accessibility depends heavily on choices made by designers and others involved in determining the user experience, and typically before development begins. Join Jennison as he illustrates this by identifying some of the user interactions and design-related decisions that can pose accessibility challenges. He will also share practical advice for those seeking to scale accessibility and make it a shared responsibility.
Sunny with a Chance of Innovation: A How-To for Product Managers and Designer...Future Insights
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
Growth stage companies need to continue to be as innovative as they were as smaller startups - but how do you actually do it? How can product leaders and designers de-risk valuable new ideas and get the support required to actually execute? From the perspective of a product owner and a designer respectively, Audrey and Alexa will walk through how they ran an innovation team on a recent project. They'll discuss how they rallied a broader group of stakeholders around big and risky ideas, testing the limits of experimentation, and turning small-scale experimental code into real life features. Thinking big and executing in layers is the future of innovation. You will walk away with some easy methods to start launching experiments at your company, regardless of whether you come from a three-person startup or a huge corporation.

The future must be universally approachable. In this talk, Andrew looks at designing for dyslexic users. Learn how to create designs that are more universal; designs that not only better fit dyslexics, but are a better fit for everyone regardless of race, religion, national origin, language or ability.
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
Site analytics. The quantified self. Big data. Human activity is creating more and more measurable data. But is more data really helping designers make better decisions? Human problems often require illogical approaches. In order to meet real human needs, we need to approach the data we collect with empathy and find the story in the facts.
Taken from the Future of Web Design, San Francisco 2015 Conference. https://futureofwebdesign.com/san-francisco-2015/
We need to create processes that get us away from nice looking design files to actually shipping our projects into the real world.
FOWA London 2015
In recent years there have been incredible advances in artificial intelligence and deep learning. As a result, powerful technology which used to be rare and expensive has very quickly become easily available and cheap. This will have both positive and negative consequences for web developers. In this talk I will look at how AI will change the development field, and provide techniques that will help designers and developers to work with AI to improve their skills and make better sites and applications for end users.
Digital Manuscripts Toolkit, using IIIF and JavaScript. Monica Messaggi KayaFuture Insights
FOWA London 2015
Monica is part of the DMT project at the Bodleian Libraries (University of Oxford) that aims to create a toolkit using IIIF standard (http://iiif.io) for images, a server solution (to store images of manuscripts and metadata), and a client solution using JavaScript to build an authoring tool that allows editing the manuscript manifest and its metadata. Working specifically on the authoring tool, and on the challenges that different types of manifests presents for the developer. You will have a glimpse of the whole picture and then she taps into the libraries used, choices made, collaboration experiences and lessons learned so far.

A behind the-scenes look at cross-browser testing with web driver, Adrian Bat...Future Insights
FOWA London 2015
The open web platform using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is the best: write once, run everywhere, platform that we have created but it is far from perfect. The subtle differences between browsers whether on desktop or mobile platforms make cross-browser testing a daily requirement. Adrian will take you on a behind-the-scenes tour of the WebDriver architecture and standardisation work. He will show just how easy it is to get up and running with your own WebDriver tests and run the same test across different browsers.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
