Some years ago, Eric Ries, Steve Blank and others initiated The Lean Startup movement. The Lean Startup is a movement, an inspiration, a set of principles and practices that any entrepreneur initiating a startup would be well advised to follow.
Projecting myself into it, I think that if I had read Ries' book before, or even better Blank's book, I would maybe own my own company today, around AirXCell or another product, instead of being disgusted and honestly not considering it for the near future.
In addition to giving a pretty important set of principles when it comes to creating and running a startup, The Lean Startup also implies an extended set of Engineering practices, especially software engineering practices.
Docker, cornerstone of cloud hybridation ? [Cloud Expo Europe 2016]Adrien Blind
The following talk discusses the opportunity to leverage on docker to create an hybrid logical cloud built simultaneously on top of traditionnal datacenters and public cloud vendors and enabling to manage new kind of containers (Windows, linux over ARM). It also discusses the value of such capacity for applications in a contexte of topology orchestrations and micro service oriented applications.
21 Tips for Creating a Boring PresentationSketchBubble
Anyone can create a great presentation, but it takes a certain set of skills and determination to create a presentation that is painful to watch. Enjoy these 21 Tips to Create a Really Boring Presentation.
This document provides tips for making creative presentation slides instead of formal slides. It suggests adding a picture expressing creativity, unique graphical elements like doodles, and atypical slide backgrounds like crumpled paper. The round-up recommends adding pictures associated with creativity, creative graphical elements, and unique templates to make slides that will help audiences remember the presenter. The goal is to dare to be different from typical formal presentations.
Using Your Camera Phone to Create Awesome PresentationsBrightCarbon
Stock photography is commonly used but can look similar across presentations. This presentation was created using only an iPhone and PowerPoint to take unique city background photos. Effective techniques include taking photos on sunny days for drama, blurring detailed photos so content is clear, using the rule of thirds composition, and removing backgrounds from photos for interaction with drawn shapes.

- Presentations should use images to illustrate ideas since images are processed thousands of times faster than text.
- When making slides, only use one image per slide to illustrate the main idea. Align images and keep bullet points to a minimum.
- Data and figures should be visualized through graphs instead of just listing numbers. Stick to a consistent brand style and colors instead of mixing different styles. Keep designs simple with one idea per slide and one illustrative image.
Infographics shapes and diagrams - graphical inspirations if you want to present a text bullet point slide in an attractive visual way. Examples of infographics diagrams shapes for linear lists, e.g. presentation agenda or table of content, shapes for ordered lists (numbered items) and central item with subitems (by puzzle pieces, circles, pentagram). Diagrams are in modern UI flat graphical style, editable in PowerPoint.
- Bullets should be aligned on the left side of slides for easier reading from left to right. Backgrounds, fonts, graphics and other design elements should complement the content without distracting from it. Lists should follow the "rule of four" with no more than four items to aid recall. Text and graphics should have good proximity so the audience's eye flows smoothly through the presentation. Fonts should be visually simple and consistently sized without being overly distracting. Perceptual differences like colors or fonts should be used clearly to distinguish different elements.
People consume information on the web differently than traditional media. In an era of information overload we’ve become “grazers” of content, skimming digital channels for nuggets of information. More than ever, it’s important for individuals and organizations to be able to present ideas in a manner that can be quickly consumed, understood and remembered.
The Power of Infographics is a presentation that digs into visual thinking, how organizations can learn to present their ideas visually and how infographics can be used to help achieve some common business
objectives.

De l’autre côté de l’Atlantique, mais aussi à d’autres endroits du monde comme en France, des gens sont en train de réinventer la façon de faire de l’informatique. Ils s’appellent Amazon, Facebook, Google, Netflix ou LinkedIn pour les plus connus.
On les appelle les Géants du Web.
Cet ouvrage collaboratif synthétise et structure les pratiques, les solutions technologiques et les traits culturels les plus saillants de ces pionniers, en décryptant des sujets passionnants tels que l’obsession de la mesure, la bêta perpétuelle, DevOps, le Design for failure, la contribution systématique au logiciel libre ou encore le Feature Flipping.
DevOps à l'échelle: ce que l'on a fait, ce que l'on a appris chez Societe Gen...Adrien Blind
The following talk discusses Societe Generale's transformation journey to DevOps, and more largelly to continuous delivery principles, inside a large, traditionnal company. It emphases the importance of practices over tooling, a human centric approach massively leveraging on coaching, and our "framework" approach to make it scaling up to the IS level.
It has been initially delivered at DevOps Rex conference, with teammate Laurent Dussault, also DevOps coach at Societe Generale.
Originally presented as a Genius Lab at the 2016 ACPA Convention in Montreal, this presentation provides an overview of some basic concepts related to making great presentation slides.
