You might also ask what is Zoom? Zoom.US is a web video conferencing software with a breakthrough pricing and feature model that literally millions of users are flocking toward. For more information on Zoom.US check out our blog post category here. For this blog post we are going to focus on "Zoom Presence" and the following breakthrough features:
Making Video Conferencing Easier
Giving Advanced Features with Simple Controls
Catering to the DIY "Do it Yourselfer"
CRS_Man_Tropical_SceneMaking Video Conferencing Easier
So "making video conferencing easier" and "Giving Advanced Features with Simple Controls" might sound like the same thing but let's break down how Zoom Presence does both. Zoom Presence simplify the overall equipment design and installation by standardizing on a Mac Mini only approach. What if you are a Windows user? No problem. You can still use Zoom.US with any Windows computer, smart phone or OS but you cannot install Zoom Presence on a Windows host PC. By limiting the configuration down to a Mac Mini which is "built like a porsche" and simple USB based video cameras and microphones you computer has a solid Mac OS that can handle your video conferencing calls without any "hiccups".
Advanced Features with Simple Controls
ipad_zoom_USSo let's dig into the core of what makes Zoom Presence amazing. Two words Simple Controls. The controls are so simple that will no doubtly change the entire industry. Let's take a quick look at the industry as a whole for second. Huge companies like Cisco and Polycom have the most advanced and most expensive equipment. Because they are so "advanced" they are also more "complicated" and users are simply pushing the traditional hardware to the sides of rooms and using there laptops to launch a GoToMeeting. Anyway...
With Zoom Presence users can not only launch a video call, white board session, screen share or 100 participant webinar with up to 1,000 viewers. With all that power, you have a simple menu that scales to fit your needs in a sleek app style application. And your Mac Mini running the show? It's got more than enough horsepower with a i7 process, Solid State Hardrive, and USB 3.0 SuperSpeed USB ports.

Forge - DevCon 2016: Implementing Rich Applications in the BrowserAutodesk
Sebastian Dunkel, Autodesk
Cloud based web applications running in the browser have fundamental advantages over their desktop based siblings: They run on any device and are not tied to a certain operating system. The transition to web applications can solve many of the deployment problems and facilitates effortless real-time collaboration in a connected world.
However, implementing rich browser applications is challenging. Besides general technical limitations, leveraging existing technology is far from trivial. In this presentation we will discuss these and other challenges based on selected browser-based applications developed at Autodesk. Moreover, we will show how Forge technology can help to accelerate application development and improve the development experience.

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.

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. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
