The document discusses tensions between different approaches to digital information management such as amateur versus professional, harvest versus search, and direct versus mediated access. It also raises several ideas for a modest vision, including using machine APIs as the heart of services, reducing barriers for third parties to develop interfaces, surfacing subject expertise in services, and developing an architecture that allows users to make gestures of interest and receives tailored responses.
Replacing Photoshop with HTML Prototypes in the Real WorldDennis Kardys
Many clients (and bosses) still clamor for static, finalized Photoshop comps to sign off on. How do you convince them to evolve beyond rigid deliverables and embrace a prototype-based approach to interface design? In this session I’ll share recent experiences upending internal design processes and discarding Photoshop comps in favor of HTML based design guides. We’ll cover practical considerations for getting stakeholder buy-in (and sign-off) and walk through the code you need to start building device-agnostic design systems.

(hosted by x:pand and Australasian Architecture Network)
The Australasian Architecture Network has hosted a number of recent meet ups aimed at educating talented people across a range of new technologies and technical areas. This time we’re looking at something much more important, the people. In particular it will focus on how you can get the best from the Architects in your business and how they can deliver the best results to you.
It will look at the age old debate which always exists in this field between art and science, the creative vs. the coder. What types of projects require what types of people and how do you get the best results from such a diverse range of individuals.

Agile Architecture and Modeling - Where are we TodayGary Pedretti
Ideals, Misinterpretations, Backlash, a New Hope - A talk on where we've been and where we're going with agile application architecture. As presented at Toronto Agile and Software 2014 on 11/10/2014.
It’s important for business executives to understand a few design basics to communicate effectively with the designers. This session goes in-depth on which design techniques and principles ought to be part of every executive’s vernacular. It covers the basics of both high level interaction design and lower-level visual design in a way that maximizes energy and time in the approval process. Presented at Web 2.0 Expo, October 2011, by Anthony Franco, President of EffectiveUI, and Michael Salamon, Lead Experience Architect at EffectiveUI.
You’ve embarked upon a user experience project – updating your website or creating a Web or mobile app. You know there will be an element of visual and experience design, but do you understand the basics behind why your designers are making the decisions and recommendations they make?
It’s important to understand some design basics in order to communicate effectively with the designers on your team. While many of us have an intuitive feel for what works and what doesn’t, developing a vocabulary to describe your issues and feedback and understanding the techniques required to validate your hunches are important skills in order to ensure the success of your project.
This session goes in-depth on which design techniques and principles ought to be part of every executive’s vernacular. By the end of the session attendees will understand the basics of both high level interaction design and lower-level visual design in a way that maximizes energy and time in the approval process, including:
• Basic design principles to help executives understand a design’s intent. This includes a basic understanding of layout, color theory and typography. • Design vocabulary, heuristics and analysis techniques • The difference between information architecture and interaction design, and how both have a critical yet often unseen influence on the development of the end project • Why incorporating user research is critical to good design

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
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:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

3 ideas:
- the broker
- community search ‘memory’
- third party search interfaces
8. tensions
• amateur v professional
– note that professionalism is not an intrinsic quality in the researcher - it depends also on
context - a person can be either of these at different times
• harvest v (cross)search
– harvesting works (Google, RSS)
• direct v mediated
– we haven’t replaced the librarian with software so much as moved the task to the
researcher
– does the researcher get a service as good as the very best that they might have received
from a subject librarian ten years ago?
• recall v precision
– the perception is that Google is king of recall. But (according to Stuart Weibel of OCLC)
Google and Microsoft continue to invest in metadata. This one will continue to run and
run....
• active v passive / push v pull
– active search versus ‘passive’ subscription
9. today - what we could be doing already
• making the machine APIs the heart of our services
– a good design principle is to use the machine API as the API used by our own user-
interfaces
– we just can’t know for sure all the ways in which our information services might be used
• reducing barriers to third-parties developing other (competing!?) UIs
– are our UIs really just ‘gateways’ to information (implying that there is a wall around that
information)
– any UIs we develop should add value
– really rapid/agile response to new requirements
• surfacing the expertise of the subject librarian/specialist in the services
we provide
– but....consider exploiting the wisdom of the community where possible
• re-evaluating the ‘harvest’ model
– light-weight harvesting on the rise
– RSS & OpenSearch
• using web protocols
– Z39.50 alone is a barrier to participation in Web 2.0
– SRU - isn’t this a ‘no-brainer’?
10. a (modest) vision - what we might consider next
• personal harvesting
– subscription and saved searches
– RSS
– the “finely tuned antennae”
– I no longer want to search for information in many cases but to register my interest and
then sit back and wait for results to be delivered.
– searching is an expensive activity I want to reserve for particular occasions
– a growing issue is how to manage and search/mine the information which has already
been delivered (semi-automatically) to me
• filtered delivery - more fine tuning
• an architecture which allows the user (and community) to make
gestures of interest and which is capable of responding to them
– gestures might include:
• explicit registration of interest (saved searches, RSS subscriptions etc.)
• personal profiling (e.g. “this is who I am and what I do - you decide what might be
interesting to me”)
• search history - automatic profiling
• community profiling - ‘hot topics’ and the ‘people who were interested in ‘x’ were also
interested in ‘y’ model

discovery -> delivery

gesture -> delivery -> discovery
