Designers and developers have been afraid of the variety of Android flavors for way too long. Android borrows a lot of concept from the web, and we can use the same techniques to cater to the different OS versions and form factors.
Be responsive. Forget about absolute coordinates. Embrace the relative, use resource folders to differentiate among screen sizes, much like CSS media queries.
Be progressive. Take advantage of the latest Android functionalities, but gracefully fall back to the basics when you are on older OS versions. Remember the days when not all browsers have javascript?

How to be an Android Expert: Android SummitChiu-Ki Chan
Think of an Android expert. Why do you consider this person an expert? “She knows a lot about Android”, you say. But how do you know? You know because she shares her knowledge, through blogs, talks, StackOverflow etc.
Experts are just that, people who share their knowledge. Sharing puts you in a positive feedback loop: the more you share, the more knowledgeable you become. Let me walk you through some concrete steps you can take to start sharing and build up your expertise.

Even if you already know what a SWOT analysis is and what it’s used for, it can be tough to translate that information into something you can action.
It can also be hard to examine your own business with a critical eye if you’re not entirely sure what you should be examining.
Reading an example SWOT analysis for a business that is either in your industry or based on a comparable business model can help get you started.
All of our SWOT analysis examples are based on real businesses that we’ve featured in our gallery of free sample business plans on bplans.com
The following 6 examples are
broken into three parts:
1. A quick introduction to the company.
2. The company’s SWOT analysis.
3. Some potential growth strategies for the company based on what’s revealed by the SWOT analysis.
TEDx Manchester: AI & The Future of WorkVolker Hirsch
TEDx Manchester talk on artificial intelligence (AI) and how the ascent of AI and robotics impacts our future work environments.
The video of the talk is now also available here: https://youtu.be/dRw4d2Si8LA
Spaghetti Symphony to Technology Harmonydebbieholley1
Introducing Prof Ed McFly our personalised Artificial Intelligence Maestro. AI BOTS, underpinned by Machine Learning algorithms are reported as the future in sectors from engineering to health to education. Market analysts predict the global market of $12billion (2023) will grow by 470% within five years to an incredible $72 billion, transforming the way in which we seek and access new ways of working and learning.
However, challenges of trust, confidence, competence, and communication remain.
A Masters Unit, “Global Innovation Management” scaffolded the learning experiences of 157 students from hands-on team building of spaghetti tower to developing their own innovative AI Avatar videos, guided by Prof Ed McFly. Regarding Professor Ed McFly's existence, 46.3% believed and 20.9% were uncertain. Students expressed enthusiasm, describing AI as impactful, innovative, and beneficial for future careers. Positive feedback on the AI seminar emphasised satisfaction, engagement, and educational value. Recommendations include further AI integration into teaching, allocating more exploration time, addressing concerns, enabling more collaboration, exploring diverse AI applications, and continuous improvement.
Despite mixed sentiments, the positive feedback indicates AI's potential to significantly enhance learning experience. As we share our resource bank, participants will follow in the footsteps of our students as they, and we, explore AI.

The following is adapted from the work of Paul Martin Lester.
In order to find meaning from a visual message, you need to learn a systematic way for studying images.
1. Make an inventory list of every element in the image,
2. Note the lighting used in the image,
3. Note any eye contact by subjects in the image,
4. Note the visual cues of color, form, depth, and movement,
5. Note how the gestalt laws apply toward the composition of picture,
6. Note any semiotic signs that are a part of the image's content, and
When you've gone through the six steps noted above, it's time to apply the six perspectives for visual analysis to the piece. Each perspective is noted below.
Personal Perspective - Gut Reaction
Rick Williams' Omniphasism (all in balance) or Personal Impact Analysis
1. What is the picture's story?
2. List primary words.
3. List associative words.
4. Select most significant associative words.
5. Pair up primary & most significant associative words.
6. Relate word pairs with your own feelings.
7. Relate any inner symbolism.
8. Write a brief story concerning personal insights.
Historical Perspective - The image's place in history
· When do you think the image was made?
· Is there a specific style that the image imitates?
Technical Perspective - Consider the process decisions
· How was the image produced?
· What techniques were employed?
· Is the image of good quality?
Ethical Perspective - Moral Responsibility
· Was the image maker socially responsible?
· Has any person's rights been violated?
· Are the needs of viewers met?
· Is the picture aesthetically appealing?
· Do the picture choices reflect moderation?
· Is the image maker empathetic with the subject?
· Can all the image choices be justified?
· Does the visual message cause unjustified harm?
Cultural Perspective - Societal Impact
· What is the story and the symbolism involved with the elements in the visual message?
· What do they say about current cultural values?
Critical Perspective - Reasoned Opinion
· What do I think of this image now that I've spent so much time looking and studying it?

Pretotyping: Crash Test Your Idea - ITESCIA 2015-2016 (English Version)André De Sousa
Generally speaking, when launching a new product in mind to create a startup, most of the time, we stay inside the "garage" without looking at the market or customers.
Are you sure you're creating the right product?
The pretotyping is a method that could be complementary to Lean Startup to validate that you are creating the right product before creating it well.

UX Field Research Toolkit - A Workshop at Big Design - 2017Kelly Moran
Workshop Description:
Looking for practice with in-depth user-experience research methods? You may have read about techniques in the past, but methods must be practiced to be understood. projekt202 has been employing these methodologies with great success since 2003. This workshop is your opportunity to try these tools in a structured environment without pressing deadlines or looming stakeholders. Our experienced research and design professionals will share industry tips and tricks that will help you put theory to practice.
The workshop will be hands-on and interactive; instructional elements will be reinforced with stories of impact to real projects. We will not only cover methods of gathering user data, but the importance of spending time internalizing and analyzing the data through activities such as affinity diagramming. Participants will gain exposure to these important practices in a low-pressure atmosphere and with the guidance of experienced professionals.

Yes, you can draw with your engineering brainChiu-Ki Chan
Left brain vs right brain. Logic vs creativity. We tend to see tech and art as opposites, that you can do either one or the other. But it doesn't have to be that way. In this talk, I will share how I reframe drawing as a constraint satisfaction problem, and apply my engineering skills to express myself visually.

Do you test? It’s okay if you don’t - historically the tools had not been stellar.
But they have gotten much better, and I am going to show you my favorite,
instrumentation testing with Espresso.
In this talk you will learn:
• The basic structure of an Espresso test (Matcher, ViewAction, ViewAssertion)
• Combining matchers such as withParent, isAssignableFrom to find your view
• onData and RecyclerViewActions to test ListView and RecyclerView
• Custom ViewAction and ViewAssertion
• Using Dagger and Mockito to write repeatable tests
By the end of the talk you will be itching to write some tests yourself!

Evolutionary algorithms let us tackle all kinds of
impossible problems. Want to design a short
delivery route, but there are more possible
solutions than atoms in the universe? Well,
evolutionary algorithms can't promise to find the
optimal solution, but can guarantee finding a
pretty great one. I'll give an overview of these
algorithms, and how you can use them for your
own impossible problems.
