The concept of efficiency and effectivenessFrank Nyarko
Efficiency and effectiveness are management tools and they are inter-related. Companies’ main target is profitability. To ensure profitability is really achieved employees' work efficiency and effectiveness should be adhered to. To work with pace, create space and being organized are important ingredients to help remain abreast to the current trend of organizations' work demand. However the environment and each individual member are all part of the build-up to ensure maximum potential achievable. Notwithstanding each individual owe his or herself some level of the willingness to face new challenges. That comes with the readiness to remain updated. Innovation and creativity are key principle to be efficient and effective.
Study: The Future of VR, AR and Self-Driving CarsLinkedIn
We asked LinkedIn members worldwide about their levels of interest in the latest wave of technology: whether they’re using wearables, and whether they intend to buy self-driving cars and VR headsets as they become available. We asked them too about their attitudes to technology and to the growing role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the devices that they use. The answers were fascinating – and in many cases, surprising.
This SlideShare explores the full results of this study, including detailed market-by-market breakdowns of intention levels for each technology – and how attitudes change with age, location and seniority level. If you’re marketing a tech brand – or planning to use VR and wearables to reach a professional audience – then these are insights you won’t want to miss.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is everywhere, promising self-driving cars, medical breakthroughs, and new ways of working. But how do you separate hype from reality? How can your company apply AI to solve real business problems?
Here’s what AI learnings your business should keep in mind for 2017.

Mobile Accessibility - Accessibility Camp TorontoTed Drake
This presentation is similar to the version I gave at Silicon Valley Code Camp that can also be seen on Slideshare. This version introduced videos for Android 4.2 and Surface.

Designing the code of a large application in production and scaling up to thousands of users while doing it all in Node.js is a challenge that no developer should face alone. I will discuss how we have developed a highly decoupled, plugin-based architecture and a decentralized infrastructure for Cloud9 IDE, along with the technologies we've developed and the difficulties we faced in order to build the largest Node.js application that exists in production.
Let’s admit it, the tools for writing CSS aren’t very advanced. For the most part, the people who write tools don’t know about CSS and the people who know about CSS don’t write tools. Quite a conundrum!
In this session, you’ll learn about good tools that can make development faster and maintenance easier. We’ll also talk a bit about where we can go from here.
What tools do we need as sites are becoming more and more complex? We need to get beyond tools whose primary goal is to avoid hand-coding and realize that, as our techniques for writing CSS become more powerful, our tools can too! Session will include:
* Validators
* Preprocessors
* Finding dead rules
* Linting
* CSS3 gradient tools
* Performance measurement tools
* Unit testing

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).
