Alternative Design Workflows in a Post-PSD Era - WordCamp KC 2014Jeremy Fuksa
As responsive design and progressive enhancement become mainstream design practices, the decades old approach of using Adobe Photoshop to comp up page designs for clients is becoming increasingly irrelevant. A quick search online shows designers quickly clamoring for a better way to do their work.
Along with new tools to learn, there’s also the challenge of acclimating a client base that has been used to seeing fully-rendered Photoshop designs for decades. How do these new practices benefit them?
This presentation looks at some “post-Photoshop” design practices and how they might fit into a designer’s workflow. Additionally, Jeremy will share how a new design workflow has worked for his team at Clickfarm and how clients have received this new way of looking at their projects.
Migrations of existing enterprise applications to the cloud can be complex. There are no migration methodologies or magic bullets that enable a simple lift and shift or automated migration. Typical migration projects take a great deal of discovery work, re-architecture, and refactoring. In this session, we will share known challenges and considerations that must be accounted for when designing, planning, and executing a migration. Topics will include: scale-out and distributed architectures, geographic dispersion, leveraging existing cloud services, and logging & monitoring. In addition, this session will address how in-depth discovery efforts can be paired with configuration management, automation, and source control to minimize the risk of future technical debt. Finally, we’ll cover the business and technical factors the affect the complexity of application refactoring.

First presented at the R3 Cryptocurrency Round Table on December 11, 2014 in Palo Alto. Covers "Bitcoin 2.0" ideas including alternative consensus mechanisms, costs of operating decentralized ledgers, use-cases for these new ledgers within existing financial institutions and potential hurdles including disproportional rewards.

1. Da ti mogu uhvatiti dugu, učinio bih to. Samo za tebe, da njezinu ljepotu dijelim s tobom.
2. U dane kad se osjećaš usamljeno mogao bih podići planinu samo za tebe. To bi bila planina iskrenosti, mjesto na kojem možeš biti sam sa sobom.
3. Da mogu sve tvoje probleme uzeti u svoje ruke, bacio bih ih u more.
4. Ali sve te stvari su meni nemoguće. Ne mogu ti podići planinu ni uhvatiti dugu. Zato dopusti mi da budem ono što najbolje znam: prijatelj koji je uvijek uz tebe.
