Mobile Marketing Zooms in 2014 | Mobile Marketing Knowledge CollegePurplegator
As we cruise quickly towards Q2 '14, there is a robust pace in which mobile marketing has splashed across the devices we use in our everyday lives. From industry reports touting the monthly growth, to headline coverage in the mainstream media practically every time a device maker releases a new and improved smartphone or tablet into the marketplace, there has never been a greater time to directly reach consumers or business segments.
As companies of all sizes expand their budgets to reach loyal consumers through texting, video and other interactive engagement in web and apps, and targeted date/time offers dispensed through smartphones and tablets, they are also seeking to glean as much information about their customers to help better serve and connect with them in the future.

Restaurants To Go: Mealtime Goes MobilePurplegator
In 2013 and beyond, mobile devices are increasingly becoming the vehicle of choice to order food online for takeout or delivery.

Yet, while almost 50% of all restaurant searches are done via a mobile device, only 7% of restuarants have a responsively designed website to provide an optimal experience no matter which screen a consumer is accessing their business.
ATS Mobile senior marketing executive Brad Bierman reviews the importance of a responsively designed website coordinated with a robust mobile marketing campaign; including SMS text, customized QR codes, website design, and geo-targeting/fencing features of mobile advertising that will satisfy the mobile appetite of hungry consumers.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

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!

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.

until now ...
3. Third Screen
2008 saw the evolution of the “Third Screen”
Immediately, 87% of American homes had at least one mobile web
capable device in them including:
o Mobile phones, iPads, iPods, Nintendo DS, Mini Notebooks, etc

Mobile provides a means for brands to engage their
consumers!
Which not only builds brand equity but also refreshes their
relationship with their customers.

12. Currently Less than 10% of
web sites are mobile friendly
If you have a Web site, you’re already in the mobile world — and the chances
are you’re making a terrible impression on your audience.
Traditional web sites have WAY TOO MUCH content!
Smart Phones have different browsers and screen sizes
Mobile users need quick answers and bite-sized content in easy-to-digest formats (e.g. video/audio vs.
text)
13. First Develop a Mobile Strategy
• What do your customers or potential customers need
from you when mobile?
• B2B Mobile differs from B2C Mobile because it is driven
by efficiency rather than entertainment
• You must strive to make their work related activities
BETTER, FASTER & EASIER.

Once you have created a plan to take your web site mobile, you must decide:
To create a simple mobile version of your site in HTML
OR
Get more advanced and create a mobile web app using advanced
languages like HTML5 or JQuery
15. Either way, you MUST include browser detection and
redirect as part of your mobile web strategy.

device, they will automatically be redirected to a mobile friendly web
experience.
