Smartwatches have evolved from simple devices that displayed limited information like calendars and phone connectivity to full-fledged computers on the wrist. Early smartwatches in the 2000s had basic features while models in the 2010s could make calls, send texts, access the internet, and track health data. Modern smartwatches often use touchscreens, pair with smartphones for full functionality, and focus on fitness tracking and health monitoring. Top brands today include Android Wear watches and upcoming models like the Apple Watch, with pricing ranging from $100 to $400. However, smartwatches have yet to achieve mass popularity due to issues with size, battery life, and being perceived more as tech devices than fashion accessories.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

9. Today’s marketplace
Specification
Auidences for smartwatches are
commonly targeted. Many are
designed for specific athletic
purposes to track miles, laps, and
heart rates (Fitbit) Ex - the TAG
Heuer Aquaracer for sailors in the
2013 America’s Cup.
Pricing
Simpler smartwatches (original Pebble, LG G Watch)
cost around $100. Higher end watches, like the Gear
S, can cost upwards of $400. Apple Watch will be
$350
10. Marketing
• Pairing, health features are the main
selling point of smartwatches today
• However, physical size of
smartwatches is often large, bulky.
• Design is often not precieved as
fashionable and has hence not
disrupted traditional watch markets
• Battery life can be an issue. As more
functions are added to smartwatches,
battery life decreases.
• Demand and success are hard to
predict (similar to netbooks or Google
Glass), making development difficult
11. Discussion
• Do you see watches as a way to tell time or more of a
fashion accessory?
• Would you buy a smartwatch? Why or why not?
• How do you think Apple will impact the smartwatch
industry?
• Do you think smartwatches have the potential to ever
replace the standard wristwatch?
