Why we are submitting this talk? Because Go is cool and we would like to hear more about this language ;-). In this talk we would like to tell you about our experience with development of microservices with Go. Go enables devs to create readable, fast and concise code, this - beyond any doubt is important. Apart from this we would like to leverage our test driven habbits to create bulletproof software. We will also explore other aspects important for adoption of a new language.

Over the next years, how we design, prototype, and test services and products will change dramatically. We are transitioning from a traditional, industrial mindset of design as a rigid planning process towards the experience of design as a continuous and evolving conversation between makers and users. This talk, based on real-life experiences, explores how design is changing in the digital age, beyond the initial delivery of specifications and blueprints, to an adaptive co-creation process that evolves iteratively over time. This emergent idea of designOps is dissolving the boundaries between planning, discovery, building, and operating phases, leading to results that are more in tune with the true needs of users.
Painless XML Authoring?: How DITA Simplifies XMLScott Abel
Presented at DocTrain East 2007 by Bob Doyle, DITA Users -- This introduction to XML Authoring will acquaint you with over fifty tools aimed at structuring content with DITA. They are not just DITA-compliant authoring tools (editors) for writers. They also include content management systems (CMS), translation management systems (TMS), and dynamic publishing engines that fully support DITA. You will also need to know about tools that convert legacy documents to DITA and help to design stylesheets for DITA deliverables. The best DITA tools for technical communicators implement the DITA standard while hiding all the complexity of the underlying XML (eXtensible Markup Language).
As a tech writer and not a tech, you should be able to forget about XML - except to know that you are using it (DITA is XML) and that it consists of named content elements (or components) with attributes. You need to know enough about the content elements so you can reference (conref) them for reuse. You need to know about their attributes so you can filter on them for conditional processing. And you should appreciate that because components are uniquely identifiable they lend themselves perfectly to automated dynamic assembly using a publishing engine.
We will describe how you can get started with structured writing without knowing XML or installing anything.
The promise of topic-based structured authoring is not simply better documentation. It is the creation of mission-critical information for your organization, written with a deep understanding of your most important audiences, that can be repurposed to multiple delivery channels and localized for multilingual global markets. You are not just writing content, you are preparing the information deliverables that enhance the value of your organization in all its markets.
To do that well, you must understand the latest tools in structured writing that are revolutionizing corporate information systems - today in documentation but tomorrow throughout the enterprise, from external marketing to internal human resources. Whether you are trying to push a new product into a new market or are “onboarding” a new employee, the need for high quality information to educate the customer or train the new salesperson is a challenge for technical communicators. You need to think outside the docs!
The key idea behind Darwin Information Typing Architecture is to create content in small chunks or modules called topics. A topic is the right size when it can stand alone as meaningful information. Topics are then assembled into documents using DITA maps, which are hierarchical lists of pointers or links to topics. The pointers are called “topicrefs” (for topic references).
Think of documents as assembled from single-source component parts. Assembly can be conditional, dependent on properties or metadata “tags” you attach to a topic. For example, the “audience” property might be “beginner” or “advanced.”
At a still finer level of granularity, individual elements of a topic can also be assigned property tags for conditional assembly. More importantly, a topic element can be assigned a unique ID that makes it a content component reusable in other topics.
As you will learn, DITA is a leading technology for “component content management,” which multiplies the value of your work. You need to leverage DITA and structured content to multiply your income.

3. Interactive DramaturgiesNew Approaches in Multimedia Content and Design 2004 3 Dr. HeideHagebolling, Editor, Michael Utvich, Contributor, 2 Chapters Using numerous illustrations and case studies, the author maps out the creative process involved in producing interactive media, such as CD-ROM productions and network applications. Looking at concrete outstanding examples, various contributions by international multimedia authors, designers, and artists shed light on the role and function of interactive media in the context of exhibitions, museums, cultural learning, entertainment, film, and television.

4. The Guerrilla Guide to High-Tech Tradeshows 1997 4 Michael Roney and Michael Utvich Co-Authors A satirical journey through the hyped up world of high-technology trade expositions in the 1990s and beyond, including pragmatic tips, techniques and guerrilla insights on the people, exhibits, experiences and insanity that every willing (and unwilling) show attendee and bag-trudger must endure.

5. The Business Week Guide to Multimedia Presentations 1995 5 Robert L. Linsdstrom, Editor, Michael Utvich, Chapter Contributor Because it imbues multimedia with a specific purpose right at the outset, "The BusinessWeek Guide to MultimediaPresentations" is both a more sharply focused and deeper volume than the others in our group of four. It's also easily the best-written book, mixing a conversational style with a level of nontechnical intelligence that's rare in computer tomes (perhaps because the author is an expert in businesspresentations, not just technology).

6. The Official Arts & Letters Handbook 2nd Edition 1994 6 MICHAEL UTVICH Book Author and Content Developer Michael Utvich Author The second edition of my best selling title from 1990 focusing on this unique graphical software solution that was designed to allow non-artists to create compositions using template elements. From the product description: Ranked #1 in ease-of-use of all the professional quality vector drawing and illustration programs, Arts & Letters Express combines freehand drawing, clip art and fonts so you can create your own artwork.

8. WordPerfect for WindowsBusiness Publishing Power 1992 8 Michael Utvich Author WordPerfect was a relative latecomer to Windows as a fully realized graphic application and this book focused upon the very first release of WordPerfect for Windows. The focus here was to both present familiar operations from the standard blue-screen WordPerfect as they had transitioned into Windows, and to also add a variety of layout and full desktop publishing techniques that the Windows version of the software made possible.
