Brad frost: Atomic design (Webdagene 2014)

webdagene

Over the past few years, we’ve seen the web community create style tiles, element collages, style guides, pattern libraries, and a slew of other tools in order to break interfaces down to their atomic elements. Our interfaces are going more places than ever before, so this shift is essential to help us better understand what our websites consist of in order for us create smart, scalable, maintainable designs. This session will introduce atomic design, a methodology for creating robust design systems. We’ll cover how to apply atomic design to implement your very own design system in order to set you, your organization and clients up for success.

Varnishing Search Perfromance

Volkan Yazıcı

Searching is “peanuts”. You setup your Elasticsearch cluster (or better find a SaaS partner) and start shooting your search queries against it. Well... Not really. If we put the biblical data ingestion story aside, it won't take long to realize that even moderately complicated queries can become a bottleneck for those aiming for <50ms query performance. Combine a couple of aggregations, double that for facets of range type, add your grandpa's boosting factors to the scoring, and there you go; now you are a search query performance bottleneck owner too! Maybe I am exaggerating a bit. Why not just start throwing some caches in front of it? Hrm... We actually thought of that and did so. Though it brought a mountain of problems along with itself, and there goes my story”.

CSS Architecture 101Alex Carbajo Regueiro

Many people teach design patterns as a fundamental step to Object Oriented Programming. They are so universally seen as important that almost every single programming conference that I have been to has had at least one talk about them. They are quite often used as interview questions to test a candidate's OOP knowledge. However, just like inheritance, they are not needed for OOP. And just like inheritance, they are a distraction rather than a foundation. Instead of focusing on patterns, I suggest focusing on learning about abstraction and communication. Why?

Free The Enterprise With Ruby & Master Your Own Domain

Ken Collins

On the heals of Luis Lavena's RailsConf talk "Infiltrating Ruby Onto The Enterprise Death Star Using Guerilla Tactics" comes a local and frank talk about the current state of Open Source Software (OSS) participation from Windows developers. Learn what OSS is, what motivates its contributors, and how OSS can make you a stronger developer. Be prepared to fall in love with writing software again! We will start off with a 101 introduction to both the Ruby programming language and the Ruby on Rails web application framework. You will learn about ActiveRecord, a powerful ORM that maps rich objects to your databases, and the latest components to use it with SQL Server. As a Rails core contributor and author of the SQL Server stack, I will give you a modern insight into both that will allow you to leverage your legacy data with Ruby. Lastly, I will review the bleeding edge tools being actively created for Windows developers to ease the transition to Ruby, Rails and OSS from a POSIX driven world. Many things have changed. It is time to learn and perform some occupational maintenance.

Building Reactive Systems with Akka (in Java 8 or Scala)

Jonas Bonér

Learn how to build Reactive Systems with Akka. Examples in both Java 8 and Scala. Abstract: The demands and expectations for applications have changed dramatically in recent years. Applications today are deployed on a wide range of infrastructure; from mobile devices up to thousands of nodes running in the cloud—all powered by multi-core processors. They need to be rich and collaborative, have a real-time feel with millisecond response time and should never stop running. Additionally, modern applications are a mashup of external services that need to be consumed and composed to provide the features at hand. We are seeing a new type of applications emerging to address these new challenges—these are being called Reactive Applications. In this talk we will introduce you to Akka and discuss how it can help you deliver on the four key traits of Reactive; Responsive, Resilient, Elastic and Message-Driven. We will start with the basics of Akka and work our way towards some of its more advanced modules such as Akka Cluster and Akka Persistence—all driven through code and practical examples.

What Does it Mean to Be Helpful? with Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler

Information Development World

We aim to create high-quality content. We really do. But, more-often-than-not, we fail. We understand that high-quality content must be clear, concise, and consistent in voice, tone, and terminology. We also know that it’s supposed to be easily findable, accessible, retrievable, and relevant those who need it—delivered when, where, and how they prefer it. Crafting content that follows the rules (grammar, punctuation, linguistics) isn’t good enough. Our content also has to be helpful. In this fast-paced talk, Scott Abel describes what it means to be helpful. You’ll discover how understanding the power of explanation Presented November 27, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.

Putting Design Thinking to Work with Buck Bard of Canary.Works

Reimagining and reinventing customer support is expensive and hard. We hear that all the time. But it doesn’t have to be. In fact, if you do it “right” it can be fairly cheap and fun. In this session, we will look at using a Design Thinking approach to imagine new realities, create prototypes quickly and cheaply, and iterate on this to create a roadmap to your transformation. Perhaps most important is that we will discuss some of the freely available tools that will help and guide you through the Design Thinking landscape. Unlike most speeches, we will give you specific, tangible baby steps to take once you get back to your own work lives. Three Takeaways 1) Understand the power of Design Thinking 2) Imagine what Design Thinking can do for you 3) Know what tools are available and where to find them Presented November 27, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.

Information Development World

Part 1: Assessing the Current State: Needs Analysis and Information Gathering Learn how to assess the current state of your technical support content by looking through the lens of content strategy and content engineering. Traditionally, technical details about products and services were considered to be post-purchase content. Technical information — the stuff contained in owner’s manuals, user guides, and other instructional materials — was provided to consumers only after they purchased a product or service. However, that’s changing as companies recognize that prospects often search the web for technical content to make purchasing decisions. Think of a technical resource center as an online, one-stop shop for information about your products and services. Over time, and done well, a technical resource center can help you grow your business by attracting prospects, while simultaneously working to support and build loyalty and trust with existing customers.

[Case Study] Adopting an Agile Content Development Process with Debra Brinson...

Information Development World

My colleague and I managed a team of 5 to 7 writers, using Agile processes to successfully overhaul a Help system for complex genetic sequencing software in just over six months. The approach uses 3 weekly sprints that gets each writer 1) analyzing and identifying gaps in existing content 2) writing and updating content, and then 3) peer editing and revising content. The sprints overlap so that every week each writer is actively writing, peer reviewing and editing content. Facing deadlines for frequent quarterly releases, we used Excel spreadsheets and OneNote notebooks to record meeting notes, topic TOCs and assignments, rather than a more administrative intensive ticket-based system (such as JIRA). Writers, whose skill levels ranged from junior to senior, learned how to use the software through hour-long question-and-answer group sessions with SMEs. Attend this session to learn how an agile writing process can help boost collaboration and increase comradeship amongst information developers; decrease the time spent with subject matter experts, and optimize content development.

Leveraging Microcontent for Effective Customer Experiences with Rob Hanna, Pr...

Information Development World

Your customers demand reliable customer service and don’t have time to waste with poor self-serve support portals that contain less helpful content than they should. Many customer service agents suffer from a lack of good warrantied product information and spend a lot of time copying and pasting information from PDFs, emails, and websites. The technology they use seems to be in constant flux yet access to the information they need doesn’t seem to get that much better. There has got to be a better way. What if there was a better medium for finding, using, and exchanging the highest value content in your organization? Microcontent is a basic building block of good product documentation. When it can be broken out of that content, it can be used in many ways to feed other documents, FAQs, emails, knowledge bases, and even chatbots. Microcontent is also an ideal level of granularity to contribute and curate new source information to be used across the enterprise. So what is it and how does it work to provide a better customer service experience? Attend this session to gain more insight into microcontent and how it can help.

When Rule-Based Chatbots Hit the Wall - How to Overcome their Limitations wit...

Information Development World

Most chatbots are rule-based. A rule defines that if certain keywords occur in the user’s question, a certain piece of content should be displayed. For example, “if the question includes words ‘replace’ and ‘battery,’ show the topic about replacing a battery.” While this method is easy and relatively cheap to implement, it covers only simple use cases. It may work perfectly well if the amount of content is small and it’s not frequently updated. But what about a case when the procedure of replacing a battery is different for different product models? Or what if it’s different depending on the user’s role, and there are multiple possible roles and their combinations? You’d have to explicitly add rules for each variation and instruct the chatbot about the questions the user should be asked when information required for a precise and relevant answer is missing in the user’s question. On top of that, every time you add new content, you have to manually add new rules. In the long run, rule-based chatbots are expensive and difficult to maintain, if the amount of content is significant and it’s frequently updated. Another approach is to build a knowledge map of the subject domain which would automatically guide the chatbot about the questions the user should be asked, automatically identify semantic metadata of the content, and map the metadata to the knowledge map. This approach would make the chatbot smarter while reducing the maintenance efforts and costs. In this session, Alex talks about both approaches and sees which approach works better in different use cases. Presented November 29, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.

The Value of Visual Content and the Simplified User Interface with Daniel Fos...

Information Development World

It can be difficult to onboard users to new and complex interfaces and workflows. New research shows that images and video enhance understanding and retention of complex information and tasks and can even increase productivity, but software often changes quickly and requires regular updates and localization. How can we leverage the power of visual communication without having to constantly localize new visual content? Simplified User Interface (SUI) helps you create powerful and useful images to help your users better understand your content while extending its shelf life and often eliminating the need for localization. Presented November 29, 2018, at Quadrus Conference Center for Information Development World 2018.

There's No AI Without IA with Seth Earley

Information Development World

Artificial intelligence (AI) is getting lots of attention but one key aspect is often overlooked, understated, or underestimated: the training of the AI through the behind-the-scenes preparation of the data. Getting an AI application to actually do something useful does not happen by magic. Algorithms are in place today, but until the system is taught, it will not produce the results you are hoping for. The more research you do, the more you realize that AI only works when it has the data it needs to spot trends, identify patterns, and provide functionality. No data? No AI. And it can't use just any unstructured data. The data needs to be high-quality data. Yes, it can be messy, but it can’t be poor quality. And depending on the application, the data will require structure and curation. Attend this keynote presentation from Seth Earley, CEO of Earley Information Sciences, to learn how to train your AI, the kinds of data that are needed to make it work, and why intelligent content is vital for artificial intelligence.
