"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.

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.

Editor's Notes
A blog is a journal that is available on the web. The blogger (author) updates her own on-line journal using web-based software. I use Wordpress but there are a lot of blogging platforms out there: Blogger, TypePad and more. Even someone with relatively little or no technical background can update and maintain a blog. Choose topics by analyzing trends. Check Google trends through news alerts to see what’s going on in the world, and what topics are popular. Are there holidays or events happening? What are the big stories in the news that relate to what your potential and future customers want to know? What keywords and phrases are your visitors using to find your blog? After taking some time to think about what you want to write about, jot down your ideas and go from there. Look of the Week!! Fashion Flash
We we’ll talk about that game plan later on as we will start to practice….What is your customer paying attention to?
At the very least, get the pin it button or follow me on pinterest…At frirst we needed to be careful as pinterest did not want businesses to blatantly promote, but once the major retailers did, Pinterest kind of left that alone. The Key to pinterest, Shed light on purchasing behavior as they go to friends’ pinboards instead of using google search and get to a transaction faster. We cannot ignore linked in as it is the social networking site for professionals. Jobs have been found, business agreements have been forged. The same principles apply as with FB—you are where your colleagues are!
Pinterest whenever I have new items I pin them to my boards
