Killer Benefits of HTML5 in Games
Most companies working on HTML5 for games talk only about the cross-platform advantages of HTML5. For Non-Stop Games and the game Dollar Isle the cross-platform aspect is only a bonus - there are many other killer benefits. This session will run through the development of the social virtual world Dollar Isle (www.dollarisle.com) and how HTML5 allows a new sort of distribution titled "Game as a Link". This disruptive distribution model can dramatically improve the virality of a game and also decrease customer acquisition costs.
Where the Whales live: the pyramid model of F2P design
Is monetization ruining F2P games? Funnel-driven design that aims to filter out freeloaders and squeeze the whales is not an inevitable result of the free-to-play business model. We need to build new models for visualizing how we can incorporate the full breadth of the customer demand curve. The pyramid is a way of putting into practice the goal of free-to-play game design: let anybody access your game, and allow people who love what you do to spend lots of money on things they truly value.
How to Monetize your F2P Video Game
You've assembled a bunch of super fun gameplay objectives, figured out in-game action, and conjured a bunch of awesome and engaging characters. You're ready to go, right? Well, not quite. Sooner or later, you're going to have to figure out what your business model is, and how you are going to monetize your hit game. Social Point CMO, Pepe Cantos, talks you through the essentials of game monetization, with examples and tips for success.

How to Apply Game-Based Marketing Dynamics to Twitter | Instructor: James Clark, Co-Founder, Room 214 | @jamesoclark | @Room_214 | Delivered Nov 18, 2010 at TWTRCON SF
Why Game-Based Marketing? We are passing over the threshold into a realm of programs built on game-based marketing dynamics. This is important as many organizations are seeking ways to build a following, distribute relevant content and most importantly be entertaining in social media. Understanding the basis of game-based marketing dynamics (leader boards, unlocking levels) leveraged through Twitter is one of only a few strategic approaches that works to simultaneously achieve all goals.
What You’ll Learn: We’ll cover the basics of game-based marketing dynamics because (1) you should be aware of them and (2) often times its the smallest spark that ignites the biggest fires. From there we’ll provide the steps to set up and run game-based marketing campaigns in Twitter, in addition to exposing limitations so you won’t be sweating the details in the heat of the battle.
Financial Planning is Not a Game...
At the 2012 Face of Finance Conference, at Bentley University, in Waltham, MA, Jason Miceli (GeroEx) presented "Financial Planning is Not a Game...".
Game monetization
1) The classic model of selling console or PC games at retail is being replaced by digital downloads and free-to-play mobile games.
2) Free-to-play games make money through in-app purchases rather than upfront costs, with popular options including cosmetic items, power-ups, and removing restrictions that encourage continued gameplay.
3) Highly successful games like Puzzle and Dragons and Clash of Clans generate millions in daily revenue through engaging core gameplay loops and social features that encourage in-app purchases without negatively impacting the gameplay experience.

Smart Tips for Wireframing by Indrajit basu
The nature of UI development is so complex that fitting it into a set of rules is simply not possible. But Wireframing is an extremely important step in the planning process of a website. It allows you get a clear picture of what information will be needed on each page before design.

Art of Writing Small Code by Sumit misra
“Knowing when not to code” is possibly the most important skill of a programmer to learn. In practice, more code is almost always bad: it trashes the CPU cache, hogs the memory bus, uses up more CPU cycles, makes a security audit of the code harder, is harder to follow and maintain, and - last but not least - more code needs more documentation. The art of writing small code is to define a lot, not a LOT.

HCL Notes and Domino License Cost Reduction in the World of DLAU
Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/hcl-notes-and-domino-license-cost-reduction-in-the-world-of-dlau/
The introduction of DLAU and the CCB & CCX licensing model caused quite a stir in the HCL community. As a Notes and Domino customer, you may have faced challenges with unexpected user counts and license costs. You probably have questions on how this new licensing approach works and how to benefit from it. Most importantly, you likely have budget constraints and want to save money where possible. Don’t worry, we can help with all of this!
We’ll show you how to fix common misconfigurations that cause higher-than-expected user counts, and how to identify accounts which you can deactivate to save money. There are also frequent patterns that can cause unnecessary cost, like using a person document instead of a mail-in for shared mailboxes. We’ll provide examples and solutions for those as well. And naturally we’ll explain the new licensing model.
Join HCL Ambassador Marc Thomas in this webinar with a special guest appearance from Franz Walder. It will give you the tools and know-how to stay on top of what is going on with Domino licensing. You will be able lower your cost through an optimized configuration and keep it low going forward.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
