Employee Development Strategies For Your Remote WorkforceO.C. Tanner
More and more employees are working remotely instead of commuting to a main office. Here are some strategies for effectively managing and developing your remote workforce.
Motivation is like an accelerator in a vehicle. A vehicle keeps moving at the pace decided by its accelerator. The moment accelerator is reduced, vehicle’s speed reduces and it may come to a standstill if there is no further acceleration. Alternatively, if brakes are applied, there will be an abrupt reduction in the speed of the vehicle and it may come to a standstill.
This is true to human beings as well. As long as they are motivated they keep working and producing extraordinary results. The moment there is a drop in their acceleration (motivation), results start diminishing. Of course, applying brakes (dissatisfaction/demotivation) certainly bring them to a halt. The only difference is that unlike a vehicle, human beings have different types of accelerator and brake.
Therefore, the book, Why My Horse Doesn't Drink' will help readers to identify the ways that may accelerate or slow down the speed of their team members. Chapter ‘How to motivate’ talks about the points that accelerate and chapter ‘How not to demotivate’ explains the factors that may work as brakes to performance. Thereby readers will be able to make best use of their vehicle (Team Members).
Motivation PowerPoint Slides include topics such as: understanding needs vs. wants, factors for motivation, employee rewards, offering praise/recognition, types of motivation, job enrichment, the role of money and motivation, incentive programs, motivation ironies, boosting efficiency, 30 ways to motivate, Maslow's hierarchy, how to's and more. Slides can easily be tailored to your specific needs (make handouts, create overheads and use them with an LCD projector) and are available for license. 100+ PowerPoint presentation content slides. Each slide includes slide transitions, clipart and animation. System & Software Requirements: IBM or MAC and PowerPoint 97 or higher. You may use this product over and over again.

We are finally starting to think about how touchscreen devices really work, and design proper sized targets, think about touch as different from mouse selection, and to create common gesture libraries.
But despite this we still forget the user. Fingers and thumbs take up space, and cover the screen. Corners of screens have different accuracy than the center. It's time to re-evaluate what we think we know.
Steven reviews his ongoing research into how people actually interact with mobile devices, presents some new ideas on how we can design to avoid errors and take advantage of this new knowledge, and leaves you with 10 (relatively) simple steps to improve your touchscreen designs tomorrow.
Inside this guide, you'll learn an insiders tips and techniques to getting into the marketing industry - no job applications necessary.
You'll learn what marketing really is, why you'll find a job easily, what entry level marketing jobs look like and four actionable things you can try right now to help get you into the marketing industry.

The What If Technique presented by Motivate DesignMotivate Design
Why "What If"...?
The What If Technique tackles the challenge of engaging a creative, disruptive mindset when it comes to design thinking and crafting innovative user experiences.
Thinking disruptively is a disruptive thing to do, which means it's a very hard thing to do, especially when you add in risk-averse business leaders and company cultures, who hold on tight to psychological blocks, corporate lore, and excuse personas that stifle creativity and possibilities (see www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for more details).
The What If Technique offers key steps, tools and examples to help you achieve incremental changes that promote disruptive thinking, overcome barriers to creativity, and lead to big, innovative differences for business leaders, companies, and ultimately user experiences and products.
Let's find out what's what together! Explore your "What Ifs" with us. See www.motivatedesign.com/what-if for details about the What If Technique, studio workshops, the book, case studies and more downloads--including a the sample chapter "Corporate Lore and Blocks to Creativity"

If your job is to make things for the web, and the company you work for doesn’t build fitness trackers, or robots, or smart light bulbs, or a cloud service that aims to connect all these things, you could be forgiven for not caring all that much about today's Internet of Things. My aim with this talk is to shift the conversation away from things and back to people. In doing so, I hope to also arm you with tools to better understand, and find your place, within this complex but fascinating landscape.

First presented at Generate Conference in San Francisco on July 15, 2016.
Eric Mattison, Senior Analyst at Vertex Pharmaceuticals and former ABCD W3 co-chair, will explain how the Internet of Things (IoT) is being used to streamline scientific processes, shortening the time-to-market for life-saving drugs. The talk will include:
- What is IoT? Just another buzzword to get budget allocation from C-level executives, or an actual game-changer?
- How we got here: the technologies and economics that make IoT possible
- Implementations, large and small (the small ones are the most interesting)
Bio
Before selling out to almighty Mammon, Eric Mattison was an impoverished journeyman web serf here at Harvard, extolling the virtues of Python, Django and web APIs. Now a Senior Analyst at Vertex Pharmaceuticals, he works to streamline internal business processes using Python, Django and web APIs.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

"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.
Let's dive deeper into the world of ODC! Ricardo Alves (OutSystems) will join us to tell all about the new Data Fabric. After that, Sezen de Bruijn (OutSystems) will get into the details on how to best design a sturdy architecture within ODC.

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.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

The Dawn of Time, otherwise know as 1990
1. The Web of Documents - human readable
2. The Web of Data - machine readable
3. The System of Systems
We’re going to take a look at The Physical Web...
Humans, talking to and controlling everyday objects via the Web, those everyday objects talking back
Also, everyday objects talking to each other
[background image is nabaztag, the internet connected rabbit]
A prediction from 2008:
Every device has the potential to become network-connected, delivering information to, or from, a web service
from O’Reilly Radar
We’re expanding device to cover pretty much any real-world object
BUT, we’re running out of numbers!!!
A bit of ancient history... back in early 90s BT had to split the dialling codes for London into two (081, 071) due to the high number of devices requiring a phone line (fax machines were all the rage back then!)
Similar situation with the Internet now. The Internet’s current capacity will likely be exhausted by 2012.
IPv6 is set to address this, allowing for same # of IP addresses per person as there are atoms in 1 metric ton of carbon FACT
I’ve also heard that IPv6 will give us enough space to address every grain of sand on Brighton beach (I’ve not verified this myself)
Back in 2005, we had ReadywhenUR, aka SMS Kettle, which allowed you to control your kettle (tell it to boil) remotely via your mobile phone.
Used SMS as the communication layer
Quite a high barrier, required access to a mobile network
Nowadays it’s much easier, thanks to Twitter, which can act as the vehicle by which we send and receive messages to each other and the real world around us.
*next*
Twitter not just a marketing/PR tool or a way of broadcasting/listening to your network, although it is very useful for that
Part of the original concept for Twitter was for it to be a utility, to act as a conduit, a messaging layer, one part of a bigger vision.
Thanks to this, it’s now much easier to connect with the real-world via the Web using Twitter’s APIs
It’s also free, real-time, and mobile-friendly (and open in some/most regards)
Another important piece of the puzzle, the browser, our ‘window to the web’.
It’s ubiquitous, present in:
* Desktops
* Mobiles
* Televisions
* Games consoles
* ...
You can produce sophisticated, slick interfaces (HTML5 photoshop) or quick-and-dirty interfaces both really quickly
The browser is therefore our universal interface to the physical web, allowing us to build the interfaces by which we can communicate with the physical world via the Web!
Demo time!
or, here’s one I made earlier...

Other examples
Some fun, some practical
Some connect directly to the web, others require some manual intervention (privacy)
Bubblino, an arduino bot that blows bubbles every time its name is mentioned on Twitter
Fiat Eco-drive, records your driving habits, and suggest ways of improving them to become more economical
There’s also an online community
Olinda, a digital radio that has your social network built in, showing you the stations your friends are listening to
Poken, a social business card.
Connect your poken with another owner’s poken and your social media details will be exchanged.
e.g. you become friends on Facebook, connected on LinkedIn etc.
