Designing successful software products usually involves a mix of luck, tech magic, and if you’re blessed, good taste. Obviously, this isn’t a terribly reliable way to repeatedly produce quality products that people want to use and, ultimately, pay for. Products are too often shaped by guesswork, application of trendy design patterns, and executive committees – meaning the needs of the end user are distant, fuzzy and misunderstood. Believe it or not, there’s a much better way to design great products! Software designers, developers and innovators: join me as we explore some of the practices, techniques and strategies that will help you design, deliver and continually improve your software products in a consistent and informed manner. We’ll discuss the value derived from concepts such as continuous delivery, metrics-driven design, QA automation, and how they contribute to a Lean software development approach and mindset.

Varun Vachhar rangle.io Overview JavaScript frameworks allow us to build innovative and delightful experiences for our users. A common approach adopted with these modern tools is to combine all required JavaScript into one large bundle. Therefore, causing the loading performance to suffer. Especially on older devices or devices with low memory and processing power. An alternative approach is to split your code into various smaller chunks which you can then be loaded on demand — allowing you to reduce the load time drastically. In this session, Varun will demonstrate how you can adopt the practice of code-splitting when building applications with frameworks such as React and Vue. Objective Learn how to use code-splitting to improve the loading performance of Javascript heavy applications. Target Audience Front-end developers who build JavaScript heavy applications Assumed Audience Knowledge Basic understanding of web development and some familiarity with frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue. Level Intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn What is code-splitting? Different types of code-splitting How to split a React or Vue application How to “lazy-load” parts of the application Removing duplicate code from chunksa

Designing for Digital Health

FITC

Presented at Web Unleashed 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/webu Andréa Crofts League Overview Examining our responsibility as creators to design for disconnection. The “restore connection” alert isn’t just for devices– it applies to people too. And it’s more important now than ever before. Digital creators, we need to talk. The rise in mental health as a result of situational stress is a prevailing theme in today’s society, and some of the products we’re building are the root cause. But we have the power to change this. As creators of digital products, how might we enable our users to be more present in their lives? How might we invest in features like Instagram’s activity timer, despite the fact that they’re fundamentally counterintuitive to the usage metrics most behemoth tech companies are driving towards? We have a responsibility as creators of digital products to enable others to disconnect …and re-connect with themselves, physically and mentally. This intersection is an emerging category Andrea likes to call digital health, and it’s something we can create together. Objective To share actionable strategies, principles and considerations for designing with digital health top of mind. Andrea will get into some #realtalk about how we can collectively create more balance and presence for the humans using our products. Target Audience Designers and digital creators of all kinds – especially those building digital products at scale! Level Open to audience members of any skill level (this is a more high-level talk) Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Tips and best-in-class examples of designing for digital health Design guidelines and principles for designing with digital health in mind Evidence-based practices to ground your future design decisions Strategies for re-framing the success metrics of digital products Design ethics resources

Profiling JavaScript Performance

FITC

Presented at Web Unleashed 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/webu Luke DeWitt REDspace Overview JavaScript’s popularity has exploded over the last decade, taking it from a laughable scripting language to one that powers much of the web today. Because it’s so flexible and so easy to learn, it’s extremely popular with new developers looking to cut their teeth in programming. However, these strengths are also weaknesses, as it’s incredibly easy to write bad JavaScript without even knowing it. A lot of these newer developers jump from “Hello, World!”, to TodoMVC in order to find the library that makes their life easier. By doing this, they skip over some of the important details of not only how JavaScript works, but also how to optimize its performance to ensure the best user experience. The Chrome profiler is a very handy tool that not a lot of developers have experience with. In this talk, we’ll take a beginner’s look at the profiler tool and examine how to use it to best improve your web application, and identify bottlenecks in your code without having to rely only on console.log statements. Objective To help developers understand how to better make use of the JavaScript profiler. Target Audience Any JavaScript developers Assumed Audience Knowledge Basic JavaScript Level Beginner / intermediate Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Javascript inner-workings Profiling concepts Identifying bottlenecks Profiling node applications Tooling

HyperLight Websites

FITC

Presented at FITC Toronto 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/toronto Chris Zacharias imgix Overview The average website loads over 1.5MBs of content per page, making over 75 requests. Many popular websites are serving over 5MBs just to load their homepages. And these numbers represent measurements taken AFTER compression is applied. The full weight of many popular websites is pushing 20+ MBs these days. In an era where performance truly matters to the end user experience, web developers need techniques to help curtail this bloat in data down the wire. No matter how well you optimize, there is no better way to than to delete things you do not need. How does one determine what is essential to the user experience and what is not? One answer Chris posits is to develop a hyper-lightweight version of your website which will provide critical insights into your specific performance priorities. This is a process that he has leveraged on many projects, in particular at YouTube to reduce the size of the video watch page from 1.5MBs to 100KBs. In this talk, Chris will take real-world web pages and show techniques for dramatically reducing their page weight and for identifying areas to optimize, while outlining the key steps to doing this well.

Post-Earth Visions: Designing for Space and the Future Human

FITC

Presented at FITC Toronto 2019 More info at www.fitc.ca/toronto Sands Fish MIT Media Lab Overview Today, the environments that humans occupy in space are designed for survival. Humans are carefully shuttled to and from space, and during their relatively short stays, they are provided with minimum supplies to remain alive and able to perform experiments. As we begin to plan less for short visits and more for life in space (such as a six to eight month trip to Mars and beyond) the question becomes: What does human culture look like in space? This talk will explore how human culture, design, and creativity might evolve as we begin to live in space, and the unique environmental conditions that might guide us in certain directions, just as the environment on Earth has. It will discuss space tourism, living in zero gravity, and some experiments in art and design that hint at future aesthetics.

High Performance PWAs

FITC

Hasan Ahmad Aquent DEV6 Overview PWAs are a newly emerging delivery format for web, desktop apps. The fact that they can be installed on a client device and behave like natively installed apps means that special care should be taken when designing and building these types of apps, above and beyond a typical browser-only web application. One of the most important (potential) differentiators in the user experience of a PWA app vs a traditional web app is the ability to provide a high-performance UI because of their ability to do things like cache resources offline, including entire pieces of Web UI code, and the use of background services.

The Art of Being Bad

FITC

Mandy Stobo Stobo Art Overview How unexpected circumstances can be embraced and turned into beauty Vulnerability is fundamentally generous. It takes the first step of disclosure, in order to render it safe for those to unburden themselves and disclose their hidden selves in turn. It’s a gift in the form of a risk taken for somebody else. How can we use our genuine selves and vulnerability to enhance the aesthetic of our work? By sharing her world of trauma and being extremely vulnerable, Mandy will show how her work became a success and brought her into the land of digital and VR. The beauty though, lies within the truth of being open and not very good at really anything other than that. You are not casting yourself out of the clan for good by doing so, but rather we are just re-confirming our essential membership of the human race. It is something of a minor tragedy that we spend so much of our lives trying to hide our weaknesses, when in fact, it is only upon the dignified sharing of vulnerability that true friendship, and love, and good work and good design, can arise. Objective In hopes to create depth in design, we can lean on vulnerability and what we may think to be a weakness, as a strength. Our mark making is different than any other. Target Audience Dreamers Five Things Audience Members Will Learn How to be embarrassed for your speaker How to dive in and fail How to share your stories in your work How to let go How to show yourself more in your design

Stop Looking for Inspiration: Be Your Own Muse!

FITC

Lauren Hom Hom Sweet Hom Overview In early 2016, Lauren packed up her studio in New York City in pursuit of the ultimate form of inspiration: travel. After exploring the world for a year, she was surprised to discover that she didn’t feel more inspired than before. The truth is, she’d actually found more inspiration for her work in her normal, everyday life than in her epic world trip. That’s not to say that travel can’t be wildly inspiring – it totally can be. But what if she told you that there’s just as much inspiration in fighting with your spouse as there is in traveling the world? Would you believe her if she told you that she’s gotten more inspiration from a night of drinking than a night of watching TED talks? What Lauren hopes to teach you today is that EVERY experience in your life can be used as inspiration. You are the secret source of inspiration you never even knew you had – you just need to know where to look. Objective To inspire the audience with stories of how I’ve turned mundane events into powerful creative projects & how they are more than capable of doing the same Target Audience Designers and entrepreneurs who want to get more eyes on their work & feel more creatively inspired Five Things Audience Members Will Learn Every experience is inspiration – even the bad stuff There is magic in the mundane Relatable ideas are shareable ideas Use your skills to solve your problems & you’ll solve them for others too The secret to creativity is simply paying attention

Drawing It Together

FITC

Alon Chitayat Google Overview Drawing is one of the most ancient forms of communication – it has the power to engage users like no other technology. Drawing can connect people beyond language or culture, helping humans express emotions and abstract ideas where words fail. But often times people are too self-conscious to even pick up the pen, let alone draw something someone else will see. How can new interactive interfaces give people the confidence to draw without inhibition, and inspire previously impossible collaborations and creations? As an interactive artist, educator and a senior UX designer on Google Jamboard – Alon has been researching how to bring people together onto the same canvas, whether face-to-face or miles apart.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object Calisthenics

Dorra 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!
