Holographic interfaces are a great way to interact with the physical world in ways that users understand. We are often are restricted to dealing with our digital universe with flat 2 dimensional screen or VR interfaces.
In this session i am going to talk about how we can create an interactive holographic display which is perfect to be used in a interactive commerce context allowing users to experience new ways to checkout and interact with the digital space.
Using braintree we can also create a payment vault in the Holographic space to allow a much faster and seamless checkout experience for the user.
IoT Commerce using Ruby, PHP and Arduino Steven Cooper
The internet of things industry has been booming for a while now and the number of IoT devices surpassed the number of people on the planet in 2008 bringing with it a number of emerging technology opportunities. For Developer, retailers and customers other than offering a form of cheap and easy to scale hardware it allows buyer and seller to connect in ways that they could not have done so previously.
One thing i have taken through a number of countries is a Arduino Yun powered IoT commerce printer which, when a order on a website is received, will automatically print a receipt out thus offering a merchant a very inexpensive way to automatically receive real world notifications when orders have been placed.
In a user case example this means that the likes of a restaurant can accept payment for coffee and other items on a website and have a receipt print out and be for-filled very easily and very quickly and all for under $120 USD.
Solutions like this encourage not only growth within the industry but help in the facilitation of creating new ways for customers to transact but id like to hear some more thoughts on even if IoT Commerce is something that has a place not only in Tech industry circles but within business

Music is a great way to capture the hearts minds and imagination of the young and old but what if we created new ways to interact with technology around us.
Using Javascript i will create some live music using nothing but code and a Macbook air to create a musical symphony the likes of which that hasn't been seen since the onset of the technical age.
Also in this session i will look at how we can take an everyday item, like a PayPal Here, to connect via some computer generated music to create a symphonic music and light show that will be the talk of the town, interacting via our API's in a whole new way.

PHP has been around for many years and has been used any number of ways and in projects large and small, one of its little known and seldom used functions is in that of raw audio generation and output.
In a show of its extreme versatility for the awesomeness that is PHP, we are going to hear what php code can sound like helping push one of the little known and often rarely used functions to create music from elegant symphonies to some of the latest tunes. We will also hear what code from some of the more well known platforms sounds like.
Building the future as a full stack devSteven Cooper
As developers we deal with an ever-changing and always growing industry, with new and exciting ways of being able to deliver awesome projects keeping up with any one single stream is always something a developer needs to keep on top of. From backend, frontend and ops, the opportunities to build cool things within each stream is endless.
From Lua, Ruby and Node we can look at the similarities between some of the core languages and how you can use the knowledge of one to build into another, learning at least the fundamental behaviour within a stream language or bridging into a new stream.
In this talk, I will share my experience of working on projects for some big name companies as a developer and why being polyglot was an important part of being able to deliver scalable projects on time and for being able to manage a team of developers for busy and thriving digital agencies.

The Ultimate Free Digital Marketing ToolkitSteve Lock
A presentation at Digital Marketing London in July 2012. The talk is based on a cut down version of a full free eBook available at www.analyticsseo.com.
A comprehensive guide of the best free digital marketing tools including learning materials, browser extensions, tutorials to build agile tools in Excel and Google Docs, browser extensions, bookmarklets, link building, backlink analysis, social media, productivity tools and much more!
When working together on a story (mobbing), mostly the half of the people don't know how their IDE is working. Pretty frustrating right? By just installing some plugins you will surprise your team (and they will look at you like you're a god)! I will cover the best plugins for:
- learning the features of your IDE (IDE features trainer)
- learning shortcuts (key promotors)
- checking the quality of your code (SonarLint / Codota)
- checking the security of your dependencies (Snyk)
- pair programming (Visual Studio Code plugin)
- doing code reviews in your IDE! (Visual Studio Code plugin)
- styling your IDE (with colours, icon packs and themes)
- autogenerating code (SquareTest, GitIgnore)
- excluding maven dependencies (Maven Helper)
- managing spring (boot) projects (SpringTools)
- helping if you don’t know the answer (StackOverflow).
I will show you how you can evolve your IDE (by comparing them with Pokemon)! And at the end of the session you will be able to (Poke) master your IDE!
Together with (Pika)Duke we will catch ‘em all (we've got the famous PikaDuke stickers).
Making the most of the emerging digital workplaceJames Robertson
A digital transformation is happening in organisations, but how do we make sure that what results isn't just a *new* mess? This keynote presentation outlines a definition for the digital workplace, and how to take the journey. (Keynote presentation by James Robertson at Intranet Now in London on 13 October 2015.)
The 'digital workplace' is emerging as a consensus vision for the future of work, and the shape of the new workplace.

Usually, DataOps means applying DevOps principles to existing data analytics projects. We accidentally reversed it, taking a DevOps initiative and catalyzing adoption of data-driven practices across our company.
What started as a practical initiative to bring better reliability and visibility to our software product had the unexpected effect of catalyzing a transformation that helped our organization become more data-driven across the company. What we learned in the process was how and why DevOps principles can naturally expand the role of a traditional operations team and bring wider culture change to the organization.

De l'application mobile à l'application web progressiveMacha DA COSTA
Avec l’avénement des téléphones intelligents, l’application mobile est devenu incontournable et indispensable à tous business. Nous verrons en quelques chiffres l’envers du décors de cette ruée vers l’or.
Publier une application mobile pour le Play Store, pour l’App Store d’Apple, pour le Windows Phone Store, etc. heureusement, il existe des solutions de développement mobile selon le type d’application souhaitée et les contraintes du projet. De l’application native à l’application multiplateforme, nous ferrons un tour d’horizon des technologies.
Nous nous attarderons sur l’application multiplateforme de type WebView avant d’envisager l’application web progressive. Un exemple concret d’implémentation sera mis en lumière (Application shell, Service workers, Manifest).
Avec une telle facilité de mise en oeuvre, quel est l’avenir du développement mobile ?

You have a solid security infrastructure, all user data is encrypted, your users are protected right? As long as passwords remain the standard methods for identifying your users on the web, people will still continue to use "letmein" or "password123" for their secure login, and will continue to be shocked when their accounts become compromised.
Passwords are not secure, they need to be replaced. In this talk we're going to explore the pitfalls of a system designed around a username and password, then dive into the ways that technology is giving us a slew of new ways to build a secure user identity system. From biometrics to wearables, hardware to tokens, we'll explore a multitude of ways that we can finally kill all passwords.

Speed, disruption, risk management... Today’s companies and start-ups face major challenges while conceiving their new products and services.
We live in an exciting time in the field of digital design. New tools now allow you to prototype and test a website or mobile app in a matter of days.
To support this change, designers need to review the way they collaborate with the client. We'll see how Design Sprint, a methodology created by Google UX specialists, can help us develop better products faster.
Looking at a variety of programming languages and platforms you need to delve into the age old question of 'which tool/language/platform should we use?' as part of a deep dive into the world of scaling startup, big corporate projects and more. In this talk we will also look at getting involved with open source communities, how we can help to contribute back and highlight own skills along the way.
A look at the versatility of flutter.io in speed and creation of highly scalable apps. In particular this presentation also looks at the comparisons between Flutter and React-Native
APIDays Australia - Openresty for scaleSteven Cooper
As CTO of a rapid growth FinTech one of my biggest challenges is rebuilding the platform to scale elastically plus still allowing for the rapid development and integration of core platform functionality. Even for fast prototyping and design Openresty allows for the quick integration for mobile and web services that can integrate with almost any database or stateless program logic allowing for faster than normal deployment and event geo based load balancing. Utilising NGINX ill show some of the ways i am overcoming some of the challenges by building a developer focused api platform that will allow the quick and easy deployment of new services while still maintaining the functionality needed by modern REST API design techniques. Also we will be looking at some of the additional functionality available to the Openresty suite including Machine Learning (which can be used for API error handling), QR code handling and API tempting and authentication. http://au.apidays.io/abstracts.html#2747a1f1
Unleash the power of AWS with this workshop that will teach you how to build your own functional web server that will handle 8 to 10 million hits a day.
Covering the ins and outs of what to do for a basic LEMP (Linux, NGINX, MySQL/MariaDB, Python/PHP/Perl) stack on a AWS micro we will build and configure a web ready server that you can use for everything from personal portfolio to projects and more.
Things you will need: A computer with macOS/Linux, or Windows with PuTTY, some command line experience (not overly necessary).
Cloud computing & robotics are set to change the world. The cloud holds your apps and files, and lets you work from anywhere. The robot is automating the workforce with nearly half of Australian jobs to be replaced by robots in the future. The panel will discuss how these apply in financial services talking about robo-advice & cloud computing.
In this session we will look at ways that startup can be bootstrapped to allow a beta version of a platform or idea to be built out and tested quite cheaply

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra 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!
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.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

“The three most dangerous things in the
world are a programmer with a soldering
iron, a hardware engineer with a software
patch, and a user with an idea.”
The Wizardry Compiled - Rick Cook
A Developer, been doing lots of ecom development lately using PayPal and Braintree and was wondering where it all began
put a silly disclaimer in here
Levchin and Thiel dream up digital wallets
A couple weeks after their Stanford meeting, Max Levchin and Peter Thiel launch Fieldlink, a security focused company which allowed users to store encrypted information on Palm Pilots and other PDA devices, enabling their handheld devices to become digital wallets. Their theory is that this is safer than real cash in a wallet because it can never be stolen.
Confinity is founded
Levchin and Thiel merge the words confidence and infinity, creating the company’s new name, Confinity. At this point, Confinity’s main objective is to enable money transfers solely on PDAs.
July 1999 - If you can beam $10, then why can’t you beam $4.5 million?
At the storied VC haunt Buck’s in Woodside, CA, representatives from Nokia Ventures and Deutsche Bank “beamed” Peter Thiel $4.5 million in venture funding from a Palm Pilot. After coding for 72 hours straight to make sure the demos worked, Max Levchin fell asleep at one of the Buck’s tables after the demo.
PayPal is born
A Confinity engineer develops an online demo that allows people to email payments.

The war on fraud
CTO Max Levchin and engineer David Gausebeck develop the Gausebeck-Levchin test, a challenge response test to prevent fraud. The sign-in page hosts an image with black letters on top of a yellow background with thin black lines - a human can identify the random letters but a computer robot cannot. Today these are known as CAPTCHAS– and are widely used across the Internet.
September 2001
Igor
Max Levchin creates another anti-fraud program named “Igor,” after a Russian fraudster of the same name who boasted it would be impossible to catch his fraud attempts. The program becomes an anti-fraud engine that puts a halt to Igor. This garners Levchin the title of “Innovator of the Year” in 2002 by the MIT Technology Review.
