"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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
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.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

2. Lenovo ThinkPad T60
I have had this laptop for a couple of
years now. There was no new
technology I used on the laptop itself.
I took the laptop to school with me as
well as using it as home. This laptop
isn’t particularly light so it was quite
difficult to carry around. There were a
few times (as I mentioned in my
previous technology post) that the
mouse didn't work so I had to keep
restarting it. Due to this it limited the
time I had working if I was on a limit,
for example in a lesson.
3. Google.com
This was the only search engine I used
through out my coursework. I have
always found that this is the fastest
and best quality search engine. It was
easy to access other sites on it, such as
blogger and slide share. I’ve learnt
that I should continue to use Google as
I don’t have any criticisms!
4. Blogger
At first I found blogger very difficult to use
and thought it was over complicated. There
are still things I find unclear on the sight. For
example uploading a slideshare
presentation to my blog. To my surprise
‘upload a video’ wasn’t the way you were
meant to do it. I only found out how to do it
about a week before I started my evaluation
– as I knew I would need to be able to do
this. However, after using blogger for my
coursework I feel that I would use it with
confidence again if I ever needed to. I learnt
a lot about blogger and found that it was a
good site to use for presenting my
coursework.
5. Slide Share
I got a slideshare account as it had
been recommended to me by many
people. I have seen a few slideshare
presentations and was impressed by
there quality – as they presented
information clearly and in an
organised way. After learning how to
do it, I embedded the HTML code into
my blog, and this produced my
slideshare presentation on my post. I
would use slideshare again for
presenting my ideas.
6. Kodak M550
I found that this camera battery runs out fairly
quickly. I only found this out when I was taking
my recce pictures when my camera died about
¾’s of the way through. I had to continue once
my camera had charged again.
However, I was pleased with the quality of the
images produced. The camera was light, easily
portable and very robust. Apart from a low
battery life, I was very pleased with this piece of
technology.
7. Sony Erisson Xperia Play
I was able to access blogger through my
phone as they have a mobile friendly site.
I was unaware of this until I went on
holiday and needed to access my blog,
but didn’t have my laptop. This was very
useful as I didn’t want to fall behind on
the deadlines I had set myself through
out my coursework. I knew that my
mobile phone had access to the internet
but I didn’t realise that certain sites had a
mobile friendly site. I learnt that my
mobile has better internet connection
than I thought. I didn’t use it often before
my coursework as I thought it would be
too slow. But, after using to access my
blog, I intend to use it more.
8. Picnik
I had use picnik previously to edit pictures. Unfortunately
the site is closing down, however this means that I had
access to premium features for free. This was very useful
as it allowed me to edit my pictures, for example airbrush
and add makeup. This site was very good for editing my
photos. I found this site very easy to use, even when I
used it for the first time. I would of liked to of used it
again but the site is closing on the 19th April.
9. Microsoft Publisher
I used Publisher to help my create my
DPS. In fact, I used it for the majority of
it. It allowed me to easily add text
boxes and it is very easy to use. I liked
the fact I could group things and save
them as pictures – this meant I could
easily upload them to my blog. I didn’t
think I would use Publisher as much as I
did but, combined with picnik, was very
effective at creating my magazine.
10. Microsoft Word
I have been using Word of a number of
years and find it very easy to use. I could
use it to create slideshare presentations. I
like Word because it produces professional
looking documents which I needed, for
example my questionnaire.
11. Microsoft Excel
I used Excel to present my questionnaire
results. I wanted to do this to make my
blog a bit more interesting instead of just
writing long wordy posts. I was fairly
familiar with Excel and it became easier to
use as I was creating the pie charts. I
would use Excel again for this purpose.
