UXify 2015 - Front-end Developers' Checklist for Better UXStoian Dipchikov
Good UX has always been one of the key factors for success in the contemporary web development and there fore has led to huge improvements in our industry in the last years. Nowadays the UX of a software product is not responsibility only of the UX Architects / Producers, but to each individual involved in the creation of an app or a website, including the Front-end developers.
The talk presents a summarized list of DOs and DON’Ts, which Stoyan and his team believe should be respected by the Front-end developers if they want to build a useable web product, up to and above industry standards. There will be a lot of case studies and actual examples taken from Despark’s experience in the field.
Front End Development - Beyond Javascript (Robin Cannon)Future Insights
Session slides from Future Insights Live, Vegas 2015:
https://futureinsightslive.com/las-vegas-2015/
Front-End Development is more than just a Javascript layer. Just because everything is single page apps and you’ve got Bootstrap to back up your Backbone, Ember or Angular, doesn’t mean you’re truly developing a presentation layer. Something that’s a truly great interface between the user and the back end requires the three pillars of front end web; javascript sure, but HTML and CSS are vital too. In this talk Robin redefines what it means to be a front-end developer, and explores frameworks that will help us to build things that users love. He'll cover the de-emphasis of HTML and CSS versus Javascript skills in front end web development, and the benefits of a broader approach that's only going to increase in importance as the Javascript MVC model matures.
At the Technology Trends seminar, with HCMC University of Polytechnics' lecturers, KMS Technology's CTO delivered a topic of Big Data, Cloud Computing, Mobile, Social Media and In-memory Computing.

Front End Best Practices: A Selection of Best Practices, Tips, Tricks & Good Advice For Today’s Front End Development. Practices mentioned in this presentation range from basic principles to more advanced tools and techniques. By Holger Bartel for WomenWhoCodeHK 23/07/2014

Code with Empathy: UX for Engineers and UX DevelopersAnita Cheng
User experience is a hot field, but still very new for many tech companies. Let’s face it, the companies who can devote the resources for a robust UX process are few and far between! Software developers often find themselves making design decisions by necessity, which ends up complicating the product lifecycle down the road. So what can developers learn right now to improve the usability and delight of their products?
This talk was given to audiences of UXPALA members, USC students, and developers at SoCal Code Camp.
Zero Adoption: Lessons Learned From Failing at Open SourceMemi Beltrame
I'd love to tell you a story about how the software I created helped my community. Sadly, I can't: nothing I built ever found an audience. This talk is about how I failed to reach a community, about why it doesn't matter - or rather: what I learned from being stuck in an open source team of one.
For years I was convinced that the success of an open source project was determined by the usefulness of the software. My imaginary blueprint of open sourcing was:
Build something useful
Open source it
Everybody wins
It turns out that it is much harder than that.
This talk is about how I built several tools that would help the UX community to deliver awesome products with a great experience, while never finding an audience for the tools. We'll look at all the mistakes one can make and what to do instead to build a thriving community.
And even if you don't find an audience: Zero adoption does not mean zero value. We'll look at how there is great benefit in building and publishing things, if not for others then for yourselves.
Great UX talent is hard to identify and even harder to recruit. As the industry embraces the importance of the user experience, masters of the craft can take their pick of jobs at companies ranging from Google and Facebook all the way down to tomorrow’s most world-changing startups. As if hiring wasn’t hard enough, making the wrong hire carries a huge cost in both money and time.
As the principal UX architect at Slide UX, Erin manages a team of designers who have worked and hired on both the client & agency sides. Leave this session with practical guidelines for when to hire in-house vs outsource, how to identify the type(s) of designers you need, and where to find them.

For all of the hype around “user experience” it often feels like we struggle with what it means to actually craft an experience. We build and ship products that are perfectly fine. We make things that are usable, attractive, responsive, reliable and whatever else has come to be expected. And yet, there’s something missing. Something intangible. It’s not obvious what’s missing, until we contrast our own work against other mediums more established than our own: Film. Game design. Storytelling. Advertising… These mediums know how to make us feel, in deep and profound ways. So how do we do the same? Are there processes we can change, or things we can do to create memorable and meaningful experiences? And who has reached this level of emotional engagement? In this session, Stephen P. Anderson will explore the subtle, but critical ways we can level up our work, bringing a depth and richness to the experiences we shape.
Speaker Camp Atlanta Workshop - June 28, 2014Russ U
You’ve Got A Lot To Say.
People Deserve to Hear It.
You don’t need to picture people in their underwear to get up on stage and share what you know. You do, however, need to have a compelling idea along with a well-written abstract and a well-structured, well-prepared presentation in order to give the talk you–and your audience–deserve.
Show up with 5 minutes of a presentation and learn from seasoned professionals who have seen their fair share of stages. We’ll provide you with a safe, welcoming environment and help you by providing valuable and actionable feedback that will help you level-up your presentation game.
We can help with that. Come learn with us!
In the world of tech capitals, a discussion about the great UX of a product, or the poor UI of a website is a common conversations we’ve all overheard. But what is exactly the difference between UI & UX design? Find out more in this presentation.

How Usable Are You? Heather O'Neill, Blend Conference 2014pixelsforhumans
As UX professionals, we spend a lot of our time thinking about the usability of software. But how often do you stop to think about how usable you are – to your colleagues, stakeholders and peers? Many of the same considerations apply to people as to applications. So if you find that you’re not getting your points across, getting materials thrown “over the wall” to you, or not being invited to the conversations you know you should be part of… maybe it’s time for a usability review. Luckily, there are some things you can do to help your “users” gain more understanding and to produce better outcomes for everyone. We’ll cover how to more effectively interact with a team in order to get benefits for yourself and for the whole team, preventing problems down the line while making your working life much happier.
Learn how not just to give a presentation, but to enchant the audience. Building great presentations is an important driver to success – whether its pitching to a VC, or potential customers or partners. Millions of hours each year are wasted in giving presentations which add clutter, confusion and crap. There is a panacea to this situation. Simple and elegant ways that when used can change the way your audience looks up to you. Become a Presentation Rockstar. After all, Presentation is not about powerpoint, its about You.
The presentation belongs to my session at BarCamp Bangalore 2012.
