Data Modelers Still Have Jobs: Adjusting for the NoSQL EnvironmentDataStax
Data modeling emerged in the 1970’s in response to the needs of database designers. This accident of history has influenced perceptions and practices of data modeling in harmful ways. Most notably, business-focused requirements analysis has been wrongly commingled with relational modeling. Compounding the problem, vendors have produced data-modeling tools that blur the important distinction between the client’s problem and the technologist’s solution.
Enter NoSQL, with its promise of liberating practitioners from the tiresome burden of designing relational databases. The chance to dispense with relational modeling was embraced enthusiastically, but for many organizations, it has meant discarding the only rigorous activity that had any hope of formally expressing the client’s data needs. This is a textbook case of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. This presentation shows you how to save the baby, and your career as a data modeler.
Understanding the client’s data problem remains essential, regardless of the technology used to build the solution. For that matter, understanding the client’s data problem is the first step toward making an informed choice of technology for the solution.
Using concrete, real-world examples, the presenter will show the following:
- How abandoning modeling altogether is a recipe for disaster, even in—or especially in—NoSQL environments
How experienced relational modelers can leverage their skills for NoSQL projects
- How the NoSQL context both simplifies and complicates the modeling endeavor
- How lessons learned modeling for NoSQL projects can make you a more effective modeler for any kind of project

A content strategy...
is not a single solution or a single deliverable
It is a detailed process and an aggressive mindset
It is a continual process of improvement, focused on the use of content and content messaging and focus to achieve strategic organizational goals
If you're in tune with the realization that the content that you market for your business is constantly evolving - you're practicing Content Strategy
Your organization’s content is an investment in the present…and the future. The organization invests in a LOT of content – not only the webinars and conference sessions that your department produces, but also magazine articles, press releases, maybe research reports, clinical guidelines, industry standards, and more. But is the organization making the most of its content investments? For an event session, why invest in a conference room, A/V, possibly even food and beverage for only the 50 people that were able to attend, when the information covered in that session would be useful to so much more of your target audience?
Learn how to think more strategically about your content as an investment, and how to make the most of it.

Crowd sourcing content is a concept that seems foreign to traditional technical communication. But it is becoming increasingly common for everyone from developers to product managers to contribute content. What happens when you open the doors to your documentation and let non-technical writers craft content? Do standards go out the window? It turns out that you can build excellent documentation via crowd sourcing. But there are some rules for the road. Learn how engineering a culture of content champions, both inside and outside your organization, can help create a wealth of valuable documentation for your users.
Slides delivered during the closing keynote at 501cometogether: The Illinois Nonprofit Conference, sponsored by Donors Forum, on October 16, 2012.
Based on the book "Brandraising: How Nonprofits Raise Visibility and Money Through Smart Communications" (Jossey-Bass, 2010), this closing keynote will challenge you to think about what’s unique about your organization and why people should be interested in supporting your cause. You’ll hear about ways to create a compelling identity that expresses the personality of your organization, attracts program participants, and takes your organization to the next level. With the proper brand in place, you’ll better understand the tools you need to communicate online and off, and ensure your organization’s staff and board are speaking with one voice. You’ll also hear about how others have used “brandraising” techniques to reposition themselves in a fresh, modern way--and how raising the visibility of your organization helps the nonprofit sector at-large.

Four Kitchens Presents: Future of the CMSFour Kitchens
In our "Future of the CMS" webinar, Four Kitchens CEO and Co-Founder Todd Ross Nienkerk walks you through the options behind a modern, responsive, design strategy. Watch the video to learn about:
* Decoupling your CMS
* Multichannel publishing
* Content-as-a-service
* Future-proofing your project
And more!
Four Kitchens has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur, Inc., BetaNews, Texas CEO, and Texas Tech Pulse to name a few. We were named one of the "Best places to work in Central Texas" by the Austin Business Journal in 2014 and 2015, and I was a finalist for the Austin Under 40 Awards in 2015. Recent awards for client projects include an Emmy, Stevie Award, Davey Award, AVA Award, WebAward, and two Communicator Awards.
In this session, we will explore the how the recent explosion of devices has disrupted the process of designing a website that we've crafted over the past decade.
When designers only have one instance of website (i.e., desktop) to design, the layout is uniform. The header, content area, sidebar, and footer all remain static. Furthermore, the elements are relatively uniform as well. Buttons, navigation, typography, and images are all basically the same across across the various pages. But if you are designing a responsive website – one whose look and feel adapts depending whether you're using a phone, laptop, or tablet – then these elements and especially the layout begin to diverge.
After this session, you should leave with the confidence to argue the importance of responsive design to your client or boss – and that the with the proper strategy, the extra effort and costs can be justified (and hopefully minimized).
When I was introduced to drush, a command line shell and scripting interface for Drupal, I thought, “meh, I can do those tasks already in about the same time with no learning curve.” Now? “Omg omg, do you use drush? You gotta try drush! It’s awesome!”
Find out why drush has transformed me into a groupie. In this session, we’ll walk through installing a Drupal site using drush, enabling modules, and common tasks like running update hooks, cron, and clearing the cache.
Intimidated by the command line? We’ll cover the basics and show you how development tools like Coda enable you to use drush inside a visual environment.
You know how to use Drupal. You know how to write code, build a theme, and SEO a site. But do you know how to teach others to use Drupal? For every site we create there are clients who must use it, many don't know a node from a block. After this session, you will be able to introduce clients to Drupal without freaking them out.
We'll cover:
* Defining "need to know" and emphasizing main concepts
* Thinking like a user, talking like a mentor
* Using normal words with a sprinkling of Drupalese
* Breaking down tasks keeping each user's personality and background in mind
* Translating "my site's broken" into a useful and respectful response
* How to think like a non-geek (for a few minutes)
Drupal powers many small-to-medium websites, from personal blogs to company intranets. Drupal also powers big sites like The Economist and The White House. How are the big sites different from the small ones? What are the main issues to consider when adopting Drupal for the enterprise? What skillset do developers need to build them?
A talk about how far fonts have come on the web and why this is the beginning of a new age for using beautiful fonts everywhere.

In the beginning, web designers only had a handful of typefaces at their disposal to use in their designs. Then Flash and Javascript allowed unlimited fonts but lacked accessibility features. In the past year, it seems we finally have a winning solution: the @font-face method which has support from all major browsers and does so using only HTML and CSS.
Meanwhile, a second conversation is happening amongst those who actually own the fonts – the foundries. Would these emerging technologies ensure that their typefaces could not be easily copied from the web? Unfortunately @font-face is still not widely accepted by most foundries. Some allow you to use a hosted service like TypeKit, or you can venture into the burgeoning movement of open source and commercial-free fonts and enjoy free rein over your web typography.
Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.

You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
