From Clicks to Bricks: Why Physical Stores Matter Today More Than EverOpenbravo
We are experiencing a growing "clicks to bricks" phenomenon, where pure e-commerce leaders are opening physical stores in an attempt to get closer to their customers and foster loyalty.
Omnichannel is at the heart of today's Retail Transformation. However, most retail CIOs still struggle to redesign their technology frameworks to serve today's multichannel connected customer and support a growing number of new ways to shop. Lack of an omnichannel strategy, rigid legacy systems not allowing to leverage the benefits of cloud and mobile technologies, non-single view of customers across channels or lack of inventory visibility across enterprise to support distributed order management capacity are only some of the key challenges retail CIOs are facing.
This webinar will be conducted by Ismael Ciordia, Chief Technology Officer at Openbravo, Salil Godika, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer and Industry Group Head at Happiest Minds and introduced by Xavier Places, Product Marketing Director at Openbravo.
What Will You Learn?
- Key considerations when designing and rolling out new architecture that delivers omnichannel services.
- Which technologies to evaluate, including PIM, OMS, Cloud, m-POS or Big Data.
- How some leading customers in the Specialty Retail subsector are progressing on their omnichannel path with the help of Openbravo.
- A summary of the main conclusions of the Happiest Minds' report "The State of Omnichannel Retail in the US 2015" .
We constantly collect data from the successful IT implementations - not just our own. On this basis, we have developed open IT architecture that allows building an omnichannel solution.

Using APIs to Create an Omni-Channel Retail ExperienceCA API Management
Today, tech-savvy consumers are always connected, using their mobile devices to compare prices, read user-generated reviews and pay for products - and many leading e-tailers already connect their customers to this information. The any time, any place connectivity enabled by mobile devices empowers all retailers to offer the kinds of enhanced shopping experiences modern consumers are becoming accustomed to.
To truly satisfy the needs of these well-informed, mobile consumers, retail organizations will need ways to create unified shopping experiences across all channels – from brick-and-mortar stores to the Web to mobile. Increasingly, offering a compelling mobile experience will become the cornerstone upon which these omni-channel shopping experiences are built.
In this webinar, you will learn how APIs can:
• Help deliver a consistent retail experience across multiple channels
• Connect retailers with social data
• Extend legacy systems to mobile apps
• Enable organizations to make real-time use of contextual data and buying patterns

How to Hybrid : Effective Tactics in HTML5-Native App DevelopmentDroidConTLV
Gartner has predicted that by 2016, “more Than 50 Percent of Mobile Apps Deployed Will be Hybrid.” Knowing how and when to utilize HTML5 technology in your application will help you prepare for that future. This lecture will cover several techniques and real life examples on how to utilize hybrid development in your applications. The tools and tactics for how to connect (or bridge) your “native” Java code implementations with HTML5 will be presented with code samples. The lecture will also cover the right and wrong ways to implement HTML5 in your application, and when to “stick to native.”
The Great Mobile Debate: Native vs. Hybrid App DevelopmentNick Landry
It’s not easy being a mobile developer. iOS and Android dominate the market, Windows Phone is climbing into third place, and we’re not really sure if BlackBerry still matters. Do you focus on one platform or many? What size of the mobile population do you really want to reach? Each mobile platform comes with its own programming languages, SDKs, IDEs and application lifecycle & architecture. Are we really expected to learn all of this? Isn’t HTML5 supposed to be the Silver Bullet so we can finally write apps once and run them everywhere? This session will demystify all these questions, walking you through the modern mobile ecosystem, and explore your options as a developer. We’ll review the native story on each major platform, discuss the pros & cons of both mobile native and web development, cover some of the cross-platform solutions available to developers, and explore best practices and guidelines to insure a successful mobile strategy. Don’t just blindly pick a side or assume that “one size fits all”, this session covers one of the most hotly contested debates in modern IT. Come join us and be a part of the conversation.
Web development is evolving at a breakneck speed every passing year. New website technologies are being discovered regularly as developers explore new ways of innovation.

Bug fixing is the most outdated area of web application development. End users of web applications face bugs that are extremely hard for developers to investigate. Kuoll-script confidentially records all information developers need for bug fixing. Having the Kuoll-record a developer can fix the bug without even reproducing it. It made possible with Kuoll-record containing the code of the web page, all dynamic changes of that code, user actions, network requests, and (!) cause-effect relations of all of the above.
Developers spend their time inefficiently, customers are not happy and the company is losing money. Stop it! Install Kuoll now and make bug fixing of end user bugs as easy as in developer's own web browser. http://www.kuoll.com/

rangle.io
Overview
JavaScript frameworks allow us to build innovative and delightful experiences for our users. A common approach adopted with these modern tools is to combine all required JavaScript into one large bundle. Therefore, causing the loading performance to suffer. Especially on older devices or devices with low memory and processing power.
An alternative approach is to split your code into various smaller chunks which you can then be loaded on demand — allowing you to reduce the load time drastically.
In this session, Varun will demonstrate how you can adopt the practice of code-splitting when building applications with frameworks such as React and Vue.
Objective
Learn how to use code-splitting to improve the loading performance of Javascript heavy applications.
Target Audience
Front-end developers who build JavaScript heavy applications
Assumed Audience Knowledge
Basic understanding of web development and some familiarity with frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.

League
Overview
Examining our responsibility as creators to design for disconnection.
The “restore connection” alert isn’t just for devices– it applies to people too. And it’s more important now than ever before.
Digital creators, we need to talk. The rise in mental health as a result of situational stress is a prevailing theme in today’s society, and some of the products we’re building are the root cause. But we have the power to change this. As creators of digital products, how might we enable our users to be more present in their lives? How might we invest in features like Instagram’s activity timer, despite the fact that they’re fundamentally counterintuitive to the usage metrics most behemoth tech companies are driving towards?
We have a responsibility as creators of digital products to enable others to disconnect …and re-connect with themselves, physically and mentally. This intersection is an emerging category Andrea likes to call digital health, and it’s something we can create together.
Objective
To share actionable strategies, principles and considerations for designing with digital health top of mind. Andrea will get into some #realtalk about how we can collectively create more balance and presence for the humans using our products.
Target Audience
Designers and digital creators of all kinds – especially those building digital products at scale!
Level
Open to audience members of any skill level (this is a more high-level talk)
Five Things Audience Members Will Learn
Tips and best-in-class examples of designing for digital health

Overview
JavaScript’s popularity has exploded over the last decade, taking it from a laughable scripting language to one that powers much of the web today. Because it’s so flexible and so easy to learn, it’s extremely popular with new developers looking to cut their teeth in programming. However, these strengths are also weaknesses, as it’s incredibly easy to write bad JavaScript without even knowing it.
A lot of these newer developers jump from “Hello, World!”, to TodoMVC in order to find the library that makes their life easier. By doing this, they skip over some of the important details of not only how JavaScript works, but also how to optimize its performance to ensure the best user experience.
The Chrome profiler is a very handy tool that not a lot of developers have experience with. In this talk, we’ll take a beginner’s look at the profiler tool and examine how to use it to best improve your web application, and identify bottlenecks in your code without having to rely only on console.log statements.
Objective
To help developers understand how to better make use of the JavaScript profiler.
Target Audience

Overview
The average website loads over 1.5MBs of content per page, making over 75 requests. Many popular websites are serving over 5MBs just to load their homepages. And these numbers represent measurements taken AFTER compression is applied. The full weight of many popular websites is pushing 20+ MBs these days. In an era where performance truly matters to the end user experience, web developers need techniques to help curtail this bloat in data down the wire.
No matter how well you optimize, there is no better way to than to delete things you do not need. How does one determine what is essential to the user experience and what is not? One answer Chris posits is to develop a hyper-lightweight version of your website which will provide critical insights into your specific performance priorities. This is a process that he has leveraged on many projects, in particular at YouTube to reduce the size of the video watch page from 1.5MBs to 100KBs. In this talk, Chris will take real-world web pages and show techniques for dramatically reducing their page weight and for identifying areas to optimize, while outlining the key steps to doing this well.
Objective
Learn a process for building a hyper-lightweight version of your website for establishing reasonable performance budgets, grounded in reality, to work from.
Target Audience

Overview
An exploration of the process of creation. We live in a time where technology and inspiration are more readily available and accessible than ever before. That being said we also live in a time that mostly highlights the successes of projects and process. In this particular talk Michael wants to touch on the process of creation with technology at VT Pro, to further explore a full circle approach to inspiration and creation where often times our next project is inspired by something learned in the process of creating something else.
By exploring what went wrong and what went right in a number of different projects he’s created, Michael will touch on points where inspiration can be found in this world of seemingly endless technology; the importance of collaboration; what can be learned from the moments that don’t necessarily go as planned; and how often projects come close to failure than the audience ever knows. Lastly he wants to touch on the process of finding personal inspiration to inspire an audience, and the momentum to push further that comes from their energy.
Objective
Things often don’t go as planned, but often that’s the fun part.

Sands Fish
MIT Media Lab
Overview
Today, the environments that humans occupy in space are designed for survival. Humans are carefully shuttled to and from space, and during their relatively short stays, they are provided with minimum supplies to remain alive and able to perform experiments. As we begin to plan less for short visits and more for life in space (such as a six to eight month trip to Mars and beyond) the question becomes: What does human culture look like in space?
This talk will explore how human culture, design, and creativity might evolve as we begin to live in space, and the unique environmental conditions that might guide us in certain directions, just as the environment on Earth has. It will discuss space tourism, living in zero gravity, and some experiments in art and design that hint at future aesthetics.
Objective
Convey what opportunities exist at the outset of a more democratized New Space age, and call out the aesthetics, ethics, and cultural frontiers we find ourselves faced with at the end of the second decade of this century.
Target Audience
Those interested in the future of human life in space
Five Things Audience Members Will Learn
The history of human culture in space
Unique design constraints and considerations when designing for zero gravity
The experience of flying in a zero-g flight

Overview
PWAs are a newly emerging delivery format for web, desktop apps. The fact that they can be installed on a client device and behave like natively installed apps means that special care should be taken when designing and building these types of apps, above and beyond a typical browser-only web application. One of the most important (potential) differentiators in the user experience of a PWA app vs a traditional web app is the ability to provide a high-performance UI because of their ability to do things like cache resources offline, including entire pieces of Web UI code, and the use of background services. In this talk we are going to do an exhaustive overview of the entire landscape of building PWAs from a performance-first perspective.
Target Audience
Web development teams
Assumed Audience Knowledge

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).

2.AngularJS hits maturity
3.HTML5 > 90% coverage of users
4.MVC + HTML5 = real architecture for web apps
21. SPA Layered
Architecture
Styling- CSS
Structure- HTML
Behaviour-JavaScript
Data- RESTAPI
Dependencies are limited to
adjacent layers, with
Structure and Styling being
largely independent of Data.
22. HOW TO BUILD AN
OMNICHANNEL
APPLICATION
It’s Easy! UseAngularJS.
50. TIMEAND MARKET-FIT?
» Developing 4 apps requires a waterfall development
approach (complete specs built to spec)
» Market feedback needs to go into 4 codebases
» Many companies get stuck when they can’t find
developers
» If you miss the mark, your cost is x2 (8X more
expensive)
» You are late to market with a poor fit since you
had to use waterfall.
53. STRATEGYBEFORETACTICS
» Before debating native vs. HTML 5 mobile, figure
out your strategy!
» Do you need agile? Frequent delivery for rapid
feedback?
» Do you NEED multiple apps?
» How important is mobile web vs. app UX?
Your MVP MayDemand HTML5
55. WHATTO CONSIDER?
» mobile only?
» web site as important as mobile?
» mobile web important (no install barrier, easy
hyperlinking, occasional use)?
customer channel- appstore or other?
57. ACQUISITION CHANNELS
» App Store + App PR Channels (reviews, bloggers,
etc)
» Social Media
» Email
» Web Applications
» Desktop Applications
## Multitouch marketing- how many touches to
convert to an app user?
60. ONE CODEBASE TO RULE THEM ALL!
Asingleapplication forall channels:
>>Web
>> MobileWeb
>> iOSApp,AndroidApp,Windows
Phone,Windows 8,TV, etc.
61. HTML5Applications!
» HTML 5 + JavaScript
» MVC JavaScript Frameworks: AnglarJS, Backbone, …
» Modern CSS Frameworks: Bootstrap, Foundation,
Topcoat.io, Ionic
» Thin-servers behind a REST API
» Packaging for app stores with PhoneGap/Cordova or
similar
67. Controller Checkist
1.No $http/$resource in controllers - use services
2.No DOM manipulation - use directives
3.Few business rules - use services
4.Single Responsibility, short
5.One controller per file
6.Tests!!! (testable = modular = reusable )
69. ResponsiveWeb + PhoneGapTips
» Plan your directory structure early
» Build for PhoneGap early
» Leverage Gulp/Grunt and other build tools
» Automate tests and deployment
» Use a MVC framework to separate logic from
presentation
» Find a good mobile lab to leverage
» QA early and often!
70. OMNICHANNELSUMMARY
» 1/2 the time, 1/4 the development cost (not even
considering TCO)
» agile vs. waterfall processes
» more available developers
» front-end developers essential
» compounding benefits when responding to feedback-
i.e. the benefits of Agile development and
continuous deployment
