Google, Machine Learning, Chips, & Digital StrategyRhea Drysdale
My Pubcon 2016 Masters kick off talk on the future of search and social and how marketers and organizations can prepare for all of the innovative technological changes coming from Google, Facebook, and Amazon. Human behavior impacts the creation of technology. Companies are trying to solve problems for what we love and hate as users, so if we study human behavior (especially our stakeholder's) we can anticipate change in a sea of content and daily news updates. Google's investment in machine learning, Google's launch of the Pixel Phone and ownership of hardware, the development of Google Assistant and introduction of it across multiple devices, Amazon Echo, Apple's Siri, Facebook Instant Articles, Accelerated Mobile Pages, devaluing intrusive interstitials algorithmically, Facebook Live, Periscope, the iOS 10 update, and so much more are all answers to human desires and needs. Focus on what humans want and don't want and you'll "win" at SEO, content, social, and more. Don't just rely on tools though, because keyword research can't tell you about search intent and personalized, machine learning algorithms. You'll have to study and understand users to get that. Thankfully we can study things like suggestion chips and filter chips to better understand user's wants, context, relevance, and topic modifiers.
Dig into the discipline of reputation marketing and strategy. Rhea will show you what the role of a reputation marketer looks like, what analytics to track, and why everyone should be investing in their organization’s reputation to diversify and reduce marketing spend and other high business costs. Presented at MozCon 2016 in Seattle.
Applying Digital Ethology to Content StrategyRhea Drysdale
A look at how digital marketers can break free from the traditional keyword research process and embrace your unique position as digital ethologists. Digital marketers, and SEOs in particular, are the keepers of an incredible amount of information about human behavior. You have the tools and knowledge to deconstruct motivations, actions, and patterns of behavior that drive the research and purchase process. When you start with questions and natural observation, you're better positioned to perform in search and social. More important, if you take the time to quantitatively collect and document this data, you can help inform almost every part of an organization, especially content strategy.

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.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
