We're being inundated with more information than ever before.
With the rise of all this information, we're being exposed to a tremendous amount of bullshit.
We have to decide if we want to contribute to the noise or if we want to be part of the signal.
These are the slides from my Creative Mornings talk in Pittsburgh, PA.
What is content strategy and what do content strategists do? Isn’t content strategy just copywriting? And why is content strategy so focused on people and systems?
In this presentation, we take a look at content strategy and learn how it can help you build and design better experiences and bring them to market. Content strategy, UX, and product design can work hand in hand to create delight while driving business growth. And when you’re doing it right, it’s hard to tell where content ends and design begins.
By focusing on the entire system and workflow from the beginning, you’ll create better content—which means a better experience for the people using your products or web site.
You’ll learn about:
● What content strategy is (and isn’t!)
● Why “content” means more than just words
● The 8 core components of content strategy
● The 5 key impacts of a strong content strategy

the practical reuse of social media data and how it can create better user experience. Combining Google’s Social Graph API with open data sources like RSS and Microformats to provide a wealth information about your users.
With some of the newer HTML5 API’s it is now possible to redesign how your web pages interact with the desktop. Web pages are too often little islands that fail to interact well with the wider user interface of our devices.

In this deck I answer four dead questions: What is the problem of saying stuff is dead?
Why do people say stuff is dead?
Why do we believe stuff is dead?
How do we stop people saying SEO is dead?
Primarily it's about SEO's integration into the wider marketing mix.
Beyond Squishy: The Principles of Adaptive DesignBrad Frost
Responsive web design has hit the scene like a bomb, and now designers everywhere are showing off to their bosses and peers by resizing their browser windows. "Look! The site is squishy!"
While creating flexible layouts is important, there's a whole lot more that goes into truly exceptional adaptive web experiences. This session will introduce the Principles of Adaptive Design: ubiquity, flexibility, performance, enhancement and future-friendliness. We need go beyond media queries in order to preserve the web's ubiquity and move it in a future-friendly direction.

The web you were used to is gone. Architecture and strategy for your mobile c...Alberta Soranzo
*Updated version—delivered as in-agency talk on 9/24 in Bristol, UK*
Information architecture and content strategy are the foundation of any website but, when it comes to mobile, they can literally mean the life or death of a product.
The truth is that even the best-designed and well-engineered mobile products can still fail if their IA is not sound, and that’s because mobile information architecture doesn’t only define the structure of content, but also determines how users will interact with it. And speaking of content, do you know what content should go on your mobile sites and apps? Are your users finding what they came for?
In this talk we will take a look at the thought process that drives mobile content strategy, the specific challenges and opportunities of the mobile space and how information architecture and content strategy contribute to the creation of outstanding mobile experiences.
An overview for user experience designers of mobile experience considerations, approaches to creating mobile web sites, and some of the new capabilities for interaction and UI adaptation introduced via HTML5 and CSS3.
Full text transcript of my talk available at: http://jenmatson.com
In this talk the transition from the idea of the massive open online course - MOOC - to the idea of the personal learning environment is examined. In the process of this discussion it is questioned what it is to become 'one' - whether it be one course graduate, one citizen of the community, or one educated person. It's argued that (say) 'being a doctor' isn't about having remembered the right content, not about having done the right things, not even about having the right feelings, nor about having the right mental representations - being one is about growing and developing a certain way.

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

on a super commercial website and get wicked rich off
it. I hope you use it at work and your boss is
impressed and you get a big promotion. I hope it helps
you design a website and that website impresses
somebody you think is super hot and you get married
and have smart, chill babies. I hope you use the code
in a blog post you write elsewhere and that website
gets way more popular and awesome than this one.

come after you though. I'd rather play ball with my dog.
The only time I'll be mad at you is if you go out of your way
to try and hurt me somehow. And again I probably won't
even be mad, just sad. Unless I'm having a bad day too, in
which case I apologize in advance for my snarky replies.
