Whether you have an established website, are launching a new one or seeking ideas for a redesign, how do you know what works best for increasing conversions? Does user experience design interfere with your search engine marketing strategies? What design changes can you make now that will bring an instant conversions lift? This fun session provides tips, tools and action items to build a successful website that both search engines and your visitors will love.
Machine learning for developers & data scientists with Amazon SageMaker - AIM...Amazon Web Services
Machine learning (ML) offers innovation for every business. But until recently, developing ML models took time and effort, making it difficult for developers to get started. In this session, we demonstrate how Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed service that enables developers and data scientists to build, train, and deploy ML models at scale, overcomes these barriers. We review its capabilities, including data labeling, model building, model training, tuning, and production hosting.
This session was presented at the AWS Community Day in Munich (September 2023). It's for builders that heard the buzz about Generative AI but can’t quite grok it yet. Useful if you are eager to connect the dots on the Generative AI terminology and get a fast start for you to explore further and navigate the space. This session is largely product agnostic and meant to give you the fundamentals to get started.

Web Design Patterns
In 1978, Christopher Alexander wrote a book about architecture (as in the design of buildings) called
A Pattern Language
. This identified over 250 common problems in architecture and proposed a similar number of design patterns to provide solutions to those problems. Since then many other disciplines have adopted the idea of design patterns.
Many of the design problems facing web designers are very common and are similar on most sites. It is therefore quite natural that many design patterns have been suggested as generic solutions to commonly recurring problems. So what problems would design patterns typically address? Here are some examples:
Establishing what design is appropriate to each genre (type of website). Van Duyne, Landy, and Hong (2007) suggest that personal e-commerce sites need to make it clear why people should purchase from them, provide multiple ways to find products, and avoid surprises by making privacy and security policies and additional charges clear. Web design therefore goes well beyond what XHTML code covered in this course to use to higher-level business objectives that are crucial to the organization.
Finding ways to make websites more easily navigable. This might involve placing tools to search and browse the site at the top of a page.
Helping customers to complete tasks by minimizing the number of steps required, providing progress bars to let customers know where they are in the process, and making sure the Back button always works.
Van Duyne, Landy, and Hong (2007) stress the importance of a website meeting the customer's needs (customer-centered design). This is not necessarily something that a web programmer will be able to assess. Websites are produced for a particular business purpose and there is likely to be a need for people with both business and technical computing skills to ensure that the business goals are met by those writing the code.
Web Usability
One of the main aims of design patterns is to promote usability, which may be defined as "the extent to which a product can be used by specified users to achieve specified goals with ef.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
