Reports are in from Twitter, Medium, and the like; we can’t make full comps, use Photoshop, or even utter the phrase 'visual design' anymore. What’s a designer to do? Has our role evaporated? Fear not! Dan Mall will help redefine the tasks of the modern day designer in light of the multi -device world that snuck up on us.

6 Things to Think About Before Building Your WebsiteFloown
Building a website can be a daunting task. Without preparation even more so. Thinking about the following 6 actionable and practical topics will however make the task much easier to digest. In this Floown Slideshare we will be handling goals, design, technical solutions, styleguides, coding and debugging. 6 topics that are truly worth thinking about before building.
The Django community is not short of ideas that could be added to Django's core repository. Some of these ideas are great, and are just waiting for the right implementation or the attention of a core developer. Other ideas are just not going to happen.
However, it's may not always be obvious why an idea has been rejected by the core team. This talk will attempt explain the reasoning behind a couple of specific decisions. More broadly, this talk will aims to provide more general guidance on the decision making process behind the decisions made by the Django core team.
Slides from a presentation I gave at Front-End Design Conference and ForgeConf in 2014. My first Design Pattern Craftsmanship talk in 2012 was presented at Etsy's Code as Craft series and I talked about MailChimp's original UI Pattern Library. Since then, we've redesigned and rebuilt our pattern library, so V2 of the talk covers the history, challenges, and benefits of our exploration of front-end patterns.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

6. The Dilemma
Maintenance Sucks Renovation is Exciting
Replacing a leaky faucet. Knocking down walls.
Putting on a new roof. Reconfiguring a kitchen.
Steam cleaning carpets. Installing a walk-in shower.
Clearing gutters. Replacing light fixtures.
Repairing rotten wood. Modernizing finishes.
Unclogging toilets Improving functionality.
...putting up with the past. …making it your own.
8. Some of the top reasons for
renovating a home are:
Outdated Finishes
Obsolete Appliances
Dysfunctional Floor Plan
Inefficient Energy Use
Lack of Square Footage
15. The worst are the old
websites that were built
“One piece at a time”
16. kludge or kluge (kl j)
n. Slang
1. A system, especially a computer system, that is constituted of
poorly matched elements or of elements originally intended
for other applications.
2. A clumsy or inelegant solution to a problem.
18. Five Lessons I’ve Learned
From Home Renovation
1. Learn the Building Codes
2. Set Realistic Goals
3. Have the Right Tools
4. Invest your Resources wisely
5. Make Lasting Changes
19. 1
Learn the Building Codes
Building codes regulate the structural design, energy
efficiency, construction quality, and overall safety of
structures occupied by the public.
20. New Construction
• Separation of Content,
Style & Behavior
• Valid HTML & CSS
• Section 508 Compliance
• Graceful Degradation
• Design consistency
with no CSS hacks.
Web Standards in a Nutshell
By Natalie Jost –www.nataliejost.com
23. 2 Set Realistic Goals
…because overdue and over budget
is not good for business.
24. “Kitchen Sink Syndrome”
Original Client Request:
Add an estimate request form.
Eventual Solution:
• Design new page with form.
• No CSS? Add stylesheet to page.
• Nav is image based?
…Rebuild with CSS.
• Site is static?
Global find & replace to add new nav to all pages.
• New nav gets approved with changes… OF COURSE!
• Create include file for nav and add that to all pages…etc…
25.
26. 3 Have the Right Tools
“When your only tool is a reciprocating saw,
every project looks like demolition.”
33. 5
Make Lasting Changes
“Too many designers get caught up in the visuals needing to be
representative of the time and current design movements…when in
reality, design needs to be timeless.”
-Nick Finck
34. What is Timeless Design?
A visual concept that could simultaneously exist in both the past and the future.
