SydMobNet April 2014 - Nick Randolph's Build 2014 UpdateAlec Tucker
Nick Randolph's update on the Build 2014 announcements relevant to Windows Phone and Windows 8, delivered at the April meetup of the Sydney Mobile .Net Developers Group.
Temporary and gig jobs have made traditional worker evaluations too costly, so new data-driven mathematical models are needed. Companies can now gather billions of data points monthly on gig workers' performance and behaviors to build models that predict worker success more cost-effectively than traditional evaluations. These models determine both hard and soft skills from a variety of sources like work history, social endorsements, and real-time observations to help "geo-dispersed" hiring at lower hurdles.
Este documento describe la máquina de Turing, un modelo computacional formal introducido por Alan Turing en 1936. Una máquina de Turing realiza lectura/escritura automática sobre una cinta de entrada para generar una salida. Puede ser determinista, con una única posibilidad de ejecución para cada par estado-símbolo, o no determinista, con más de una posible combinación de acciones para algún par. También puede tener múltiples cintas y cabezales.

SydMobNet May 2014 - Lewis Benge on Wearable TechAlec Tucker
Wearable technology is growing rapidly as an industry and will double in size to $1.6 billion within a year. Advances in smaller, faster, cheaper hardware, data storage solutions, wireless connectivity, and new sensors are enabling wearables to address real-world use cases and feed our curiosity to gather more information. As the technology progresses further between 2013 and 2023, our mobile phones may no longer be the central hub, and new possibilities for wearable devices are emerging to replace phone functions like display, location tracking, and voice interaction.

The Internet of Things, Mobility and the .Net Micro Framework, presented by Dave Glover of Microsoft at the Sydney Mobile .Net Developers meeting n March 2014
Xamarin.Android applications can leak memory when framework objects like Activities are not properly cleaned up. StrictMode and the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) are useful tools for detecting memory leaks caused by lingering Activity references. Demonstrations showed an obvious leak from a static Activity reference and a less obvious leak from an anonymous delegate closure. Proper cleanup involves disposing of framework peers when no longer needed to allow garbage collection.

Whether your API program is internal, partner or public, measuring its success is critical to its growth. Andrew Mager, who has led developer relations at Postmates, SmartThings, Spotify, CNET, and ESPN discusses how to get the most value from your developer community.
How to Grow and Measure Your API Program - I ♥ APIs 2015Andrew Mager
This document discusses how to grow and measure an API program. It provides tips on starting an API program by defining its purpose and target users. It also discusses growing the program through product ownership, documentation, education, partnerships, and marketing. Measuring success includes tracking metrics like users, calls, projects, and feedback, as well as harder to measure factors like happiness, interactions, and offline work. The document advocates finding a developer advocate to foster community and teaches skills needed for the role, such as communication, teaching, and being available. It also suggests ways to engage developers online and showcase projects built with an API.

It Takes 2 to Make a Thing Go Right: Jessica L'Esperance and Erin Scime Talk ...Erin Scime
When it comes to building mobile products it takes a tight collaboration between content and design. Mobile users are task driven, want localized information, and have multiple elements around them competing for their attention. Design can't meet the users needs by merely creating a lovely interface, and content strategy can't tailor content independent of the device constraints.
Together, Content Strategists and Designers can optimize the user experience for mobile to ensure the products are useful and usable.
Through a case study, we share our method for co-owning the product creation and putting siloed design to bed.

Social Media Strategy - Telecom Luncheon Keynote with Deborah Day, Ottawa, 2010innovatebyday
This document appears to be from a presentation on social media strategy. It discusses how social media allows for unprecedented access to information, but this also creates information overload and challenges for decision making. It emphasizes listening to customers and communities on social networks, and highlights recommendations and peer-to-peer interactions as the most trusted forms of advertising. Specific strategies discussed include generating leads, creating specialized communities, and using social media to improve search engine optimization, act as a knowledge source, and strengthen other marketing campaigns. Metrics from comScore show that social media is driving more visitors, time on sites, and page views for companies.

Scott Kveton Scalable and Repeatable Business ModelsDealmaker Media
This document discusses three tales and lessons from launching businesses. The first tale describes how the author jokingly decided to sell bacon online, then actually launched the business in 30 days using various technologies. The key lesson was to ship products fast to validate market interest. The second tale launched an "airship" company at a developer conference by targeting developers in line. The lesson was that pricing and packaging require significant effort. The third tale identified digital wallets as the next investment wave by turning location into loyalty. The overall lesson is to launch early, consider pricing carefully, and listen to customers.
