Staying Informed About What Matters in Office 365Haniel Croitoru
For many of us, communication is a key component of our daily work. We need to stay informed and inform others of what’s going on through reports, presentations, conversations, and other artefacts to name a few. A few years back this was done quite easily because there was one main medium of communication – email. Things are different today. There’s a push to reduce email clutter and increase the amount of collaboration through cloud services such as Office 365.

Case Study: Automating Outage Monitoring & CommunicationDave Olsen
This is a review of how West Virginia University's Digital Services unit monitors and communicates system outages. In the past we have had little coverage for our systems. Notices amounted to emails which didn't work well at 2am. We've now been able to combine a number of solutions (New Relic, Pingdom, Slack, PagerDuty, StatusPage.io) into one cohesive monitoring and communication workflow.
From Atomistic to Coarse Grain Systems - Procedures & MethodsFrank Roemer
The physical and mathematical basis as well as the historical background of the most popular coarse graining methods (Reverse/Inverse Monte-Carlo, Iterative Boltzmann Inversion and Force Matching method) in the field of fluids and soft matter are presented here. In terms of lengths and time scale, I refer here to the classical coarse grain systems, which are in between the atomistic and mesoscale systems. The focus is on the path to derive the coarse grain force fields from reference data obtained from atomistic simulations.

Developers, Developers, Developers Why API Management Should be Important to ...CA API Management
Overview
APIs are the glue that binds today’s Web. APIs make it possible to transform a simple enterprise Web site into a true integration platform. They create conduits that allow mobile devices to access critical enterprise applications and data. They enable effective use of the Cloud and they represent the best technology for agile partner integration.
However, it is a mistake to assume that if you build some APIs, the developers will come (and the applications will appear). To maximize the benefits of your APIs, you have to reach out, engage developers and build a developer community. This webinar explores key issues around API management and developer outreach.

Christian Titze, "Hello From the Other Side: Adapting the Agile Agency to Cli...WebVisions
Many agencies have become frustrated with over-specced sequential waterfall projects. Their inflexible methodologies have too often led to outcomes that didn’t realize their full potential. In contrast, agile methods like Scrum and Kanban have proven successful ways to build and run software. But how do you apply agile methods to the reality of an agency’s project based work? There are many challenges and the most crucial question is: what if our ideal work method and our clients’ realities don’t match?
Edenspiekermann have been working agile since 2009. They’ve since achieved terrific results and have never looked back. They now employ about as many developers as designers, creating meaningful digital products and services for global clients like Red Bull, Cisco Systems, The Economist and the German and Dutch Railways.
Christian will talk about the often challenging contrast between wanting to deliver the best possible product and making sure you’re satisfying the client’s internal project needs. How to deliver excellent customer satisfaction while working as agile as possible?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Christian is the guy designers are ambivalent about. He’s not a font guy. He’s the business guy—the one who works the odd hours creating and maintaining relationships with some of the largest companies in the world. Over the past decade, he has led business development efforts for numerous agencies on three continents.
Anthropology is the study of humans past and present. Design is the skill of solving complex problems to create a better future. But can a discipline focused on the past/present merge with a discipline focused on the future? The answer is yes. Welcome to Design Anthropology 101.
Design anthropology converges two powerful fields that can push design beyond just “innovation”. In this talk, you’ll learn what design anthropology is and what it means for the future of design. Most importantly, you’ll walk away with a basic understanding of how to use ethnographic methodologies and collaboration to make products that push humanity forward.

Nate Clinton, "Conversations with Machines"WebVisions
While drones deliver our purchases and cars drive themselves, there’s something special about the personal touch that only a one-on-one interaction with a human assistant can provide. It’s special because humans have expertise, empathy, and insight that robots lack. Unfortunately, the “concierge experience” is expensive to offer, and scales slowly. In this session, we’ll discuss how technology can help businesses leverage their experts to scale the concierge experience cheaply and effectively, without losing the human qualities that make it great.

Thomas Phinney, “Fonts. Everything is Changing. Again.”WebVisions
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the font-water.
On September 14th, representatives from Microsoft, Adobe, Apple and Google made a joint font announcement in Warsaw: OpenType 1.8 was unveiled, featuring variable fonts, a.k.a. OpenType Font Variations, based on an all-but forgotten Apple technology, GX Variations.
Variable fonts enable type designers to create fonts that have one or more design axes, such as weight or width. Use of a design axis frees designers; for example, if there is a weight axis, a designer is free to choose any arbitrary weight within the font's design space, not just a few pre-set weights.
Many type designers have long used such technology for font design, so there is a backlog of existing typefaces that could be adapted to this technology. But two previous axis-fonts technologies did not take off: Apple's GX/AAT Typography allowed it, and Adobe's Multiple Master did as well. Why should this be different?
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Thomas Phinney is President of FontLab, the font software tools company. Previously he was product manager for fonts and global typography at Adobe, and then senior product manager for Extensis. In the 2000s he was instrumental in driving the adoption of OpenType, both within Adobe and in the marketplace.
The lowly side project—you know that thing you do for fun when you have some downtime? The history of the Internet is rife with stories of side projects starting as innocent little ways to kill some time or scratch an itch only to turn into something much larger.
From Blogger to Flickr to Twitter to Slack, a lot of very popular services started out as small side projects before eclipsing the very thing they grew from. And they’re not just important for startups, they’re also vital to anyone working on the web today. Thanks to a plethora of self-directed learning sites, there’s not much stopping you from building anything you can dream as your next side project. In the end, they’re great ways for anyone to expand their skill set, build on their hobbies, and impress future employers.
It’s time for side projects to take center stage.

“I don’t know” is certainly the most common answer I give to my clients’ questions. That may sound crazy, but I actually think it’s the smartest thing you can say as a freelancer. BUT I know how to find out, and when I do, I'll deliver them the most informed and creative answer they have ever heard. User surveys, forms, interviews, A/B testing, big shift and even street events, "I will explain how to combine the power of intuition with logic and reasoning to reach very significant results. Because after all, the biggest barriers to great work and creativity is not money, time or technical limitations but MENTAL obstacles.

The Web is the largest public big data repository that humankind has created. In this overwhelming data ocean, we need to be aware of the quality and, in particular, of the biases that exist in this data. In the Web, biases also come from redundancy and spam, as well as from algorithms that we design to improve the user experience. This problem is further exacerbated by biases that are added by these algorithms, specially in the context of search and recommendation systems. They include selection and presentation bias in many forms, interaction bias, social bias, etc. We give several examples and their relation to sparsity and privacy, stressing the importance of the user context to avoid these biases.
What happens when the digital tools and platforms we make and use for communication and entertainment are hijacked for terrorism, violence against the vulnerable and nefarious transactions? What role do designers and developers play? Are we complicit as creators of these technologies and products? Should we police them or fight back? As Portfolio Lead for Northern Lab, Northern Trust's internal innovation startup focused on client and partner experience, Antonio will share a mix of provocative scenarios torn from today's headlines and compelling stories where activism and technology facilitated peace—and war.
As a call-to-action for designers and developers to engage in projects capable of transformational change, he'll explore the question: How might technology foster new experiences to better accelerate social activism and make the world a smarter, safer place?

Mark Wyner, "A New Dawn of the Human Experience"WebVisions
In what is being called the “third era of computing,” cognitive computing is revolutionizing the relationship between humans and computers. Internet of Things is only the beginning. Artificial Intelligence is finally sprouting out of science fiction and blossoming into palpable technology. Cognitive systems are able to learn independently, build upon pre-programmed knowledge, understand natural language, and interact with human beings with reasoning and logic.
In this session Mark will explore how, through the anthropomorphizing of machines, we are creating an environment of fabricated empathy that will change the human experience, and how we are asking machines to make ethical decisions that they’re grossly unprepared to do. He will also discuss why Artificial Intelligence won’t create an apocalypse of robots who take over the world. Maybe.

Kevin Hoyt, "On the Verge of Genius: Smart Cities Workshop"WebVisions
(Kevin's workshop was given at WebVisions Portland on May 18, 2016)
Cross a WebVisions workshop with Bill Nye the Science Guy (or Mr. Wizard depending on your generation), and you will get IBM's Kevin Hoyt, leading you through an interactive, hands-on, exploration of the increasingly connected world of cities, farms, and you.
On this three-hour tour, the weather may just get rough, but smart cities with vast arrays of connected sensors will keep us on course and on time. Leaving the city behind, we will discover that data is the new fertilizer for the green acres of smart agriculture. The next stop on this fantastic voyage is inner space as we seek to leverage smart healthcare to unlock the secrets of heart disease and asthma.
This workshop is packed with live demonstrations of a large number of scientific sensors in action. The PH of your drinking water. The air quality of the conference center. The galvanic skin response (sweating) of the presenter. And many more. Having established the possibilities, you will have the option to spend an hour with your very own Internet-connected hardware. Solving the world's problems is hard work, but together we can achieve genius.
What You'll Learn:
How crowdsourcing social change and overcoming human bias in decision making, is leading to the rise of the machines;
How cities like Amsterdam and London are using the Internet of Things to protect personal property and save lives;
How companies like Harman and John Deere discovered the best user experience to keep up with population growth;
How the science of you may just be able to eradicate the world biggest health problems - if you let it;
Basic electronics, and how to connect a device of your own to an Internet of Things platform using Arduino.
Who Should Attend
If you think products like the Google Nest are cool, but are not sure what value they play in society, this workshop is for you. If you look at the emergence of self-driving cars, and wonder about the economic impact, this workshop is for you. If you enjoy gardening or farm-to-table food, and want to find out how to make that scale to a societal level, this workshop is for you. If you fear Skynet, this workshop is for you. If you picked up on any of the 60s, 70s, and 80s references in the overview, this workshop is for you. Or, if you just want to geek out with Internet-connected hardware, this workshop is for you.

Art has always had an uncomfortable relationship with commerce. Never more so than now that the bulk of the "creative class" is employed by the business sector in the service of selling products and increasing their bottom line. This has created a new, and often uncomfortable dynamic, where our work is now evaluated primarily for it's ability to affect consumers and sell a product and secondarily for its creative merit. These pressures have also made it difficult for our "art" to fulfill one of its essential functions -- provoke essential conversations/debates in society. This has in turn left many of us frequently feeling frustrated and unsatisfied by the work itself.
It wasn't always like this, but since we can't go back, we have to find the right way to move forward. Is there an alternative pathway where we can create for business, but still advocate for principles and ideals that we believe in through our work? How do we re-establish ourselves as an artist and assert our creative/cultural authority?
This session will explore all of the above, with a particular focus on the NYC market from a present day and historical perspective. As well as look at tactical ways to begin to advocate for this shift in your own work/business.
Too often we create brands, experiences, and content that sacrifice humanity on the altar of conversion optimization. In this session, we’ll explore how to make our products feel less like a business transaction and more like a conversation through human-oriented brand, marketing, and experience design.
Don’t worry, this won’t be a stern sermon about user personas or focus groups – Meagan knows that conference attendees are people too. Instead she’ll share some of the practical hows and whys of designing for people, not customers.

If the Design Process were a boy band, Feature Prioritization would never be the fan favorite with a breakout solo career. Prioritization isn’t sexy. It hurts to let go of the beloved features created during brainstorming. The decision-making design phase often involves negotiation and compromise in an uncomfortable social environment. Prioritization can be downright painful!
If only you could recapture the enthusiasm and creative glow of brainstorming. Well, wish no longer! Design fairy godmothers Carolyn Chandler and Anna van Slee are here to transform this pumpkin into a stage coach. Strap in!
Taming Context in the Internet of ThingsWebVisions
As we continue to stitch our physical world together with digital information, context is becoming harder to manage and understand. Everything we do or buy is potentially connected to everything else, complicating the meaning of our everyday actions. How do we insure that the networked "things" we put into the world make sense as part a human environment? The answers have less to do with the devices we make than with the way people perceive and comprehend their surroundings.
Using everyday examples and practical models, this talk shows how we can figure out the contextual angles underlying the experiences of your product's or service's users and customers.
Mind Melds and BattleBots: Creating the Right Kind of Designer/Developer DynamicWebVisions
Improving the designer/developer relationship is an ardent wish on a lot of project teams. And yet, a lot of excuses seem to be made for bad relationships between designers and developers… several of which are tied to when and how each are involved.
Do these sound familiar?
“There’s not enough budget to involve all members of the team from beginning to end.”
“We don’t want to limit designer creativity too soon by bringing tech into the process.”
“We don’t want to waste developer time at the beginning when there’s nothing fully defined yet.”
“If we design a detailed enough style guide, development should be able to implement without retaining a designer through implementation.”
How do you find the right balance of involvement without breaking the budget - and make the most of the skills that each team member can bring to the table?
In this presentation, Carolyn Chandler (Experience Designer and instructor) and Don Bora (Developer and iconic tech mentor) will take you on a journey through the main stages of a project from both sides of the divide.
Poetry for Robots: A Digital Humanities ExperimentWebVisions
In 1989, scholar Norman Cousins published a piece called The Poet and the Computer. Anticipating the computer revolution at his doorstep Cousins makes a plea: do not allow our machines to dehumanize us. And he offers a specific prescription against the potential malady - poetry.
"The danger," he explains, is "not so much that man will be controlled by the computer as that he may imitate it.” Intimate and repeated communication with the robots may require us to too conform our minds to their limited logics and cold calculations.
To preserve and reinforce humanness, Cousins hypothesizes that “…it might be fruitful to effect some sort of junction between the computer technologist and the poet.” And I agree. I propose we write poetry for the robots. What would happen if we created metaphorical metadata for an image bank? Would a search for ‘stars' return image of ‘eyes'?
At Poetry4Robots.com, we’ve made the experiment live. This ‘digital humanities experiment’ is being conducted by Neologic Labs, Webvisions, and Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination.
This talk is about how we may further turn to the arts and humanities to ensure human-centric UX.
Kent Nichols, "Downshifting Your Life to Rev Up Your Creativity"WebVisions
Life is not a linear journey from point A to B, there are bumps, detours, and failures that we must endure and persevere to achieve our goals and get to the next level. Kent Nichols talks about his journey from College dropout to New Media darling to overcoming being a one-hit wonder in this humorous look at his life since dropping out of the LA rat race.
He tackles sensible irrationality, building a strong foundation, networking, picking the right place to escape to, and taking your time while being decisive. And you'll discover the pains and joys of moving to a "lifestyle" city, including no one caring about your Lexus Hybrid, realizing you're the fattest person in a 50 mile radius, and trading a 2 hour daily commute for a lot more time on an airplane.

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!

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

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).
Speakers:
