Workshop Stanford University - 28th July 2018 on Website Optimization Raj Lal
A website can be an extremely effective tool for generating sales and achieving other business goals. But that assumes you’ve “optimized” your website—that you’ve learned the techniques that will let you effectively convert website visitors into customers, whether that means buying a product, downloading your app, signing up for a beta, or scheduling an appointment. There is an art and a science to optimizing your website—or what’s sometimes called Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)—that can be tremendously useful for marketers, executives, and business owners. This one-day workshop will provide a concise and practical overview of optimization techniques, focusing on four key subjects: mining information from Google Analytics to understand data, users, and devices; analyzing competitors; heuristically reviewing your website for usability; and A/B testing your key content for conversion. Once you have this information you will be able to optimize the layout and remove the bottlenecks in your website that may be preventing your visitors from converting into customers. You will learn how to leverage the data to create a better user flow in your website and use the test-driven framework to continuously improve your website, acquire more customers, and increase your revenue.

Evolution of User Interface - Digital Web & Design Innovation Summit SFO 20 S...Raj Lal
Do you know about WIMP? The Natural or Organic Interface? Zooming Interface? And what the heck is the Intelligent UI? Where are all these interfaces coming from. What about the Gesture, Haptics, Pen based and touch and even multi touch interfaces?
In this session learn from the Author of Digital Design Essentials: 100 ways to Design better Desktop, Web and Mobile Interfaces, the intriguing story of the Digital Interface. How the digital Interface started from Command line to WIMP Interface to GUI and now became the most debated topic in the design industry, Skeumorphic Design or Modern UI. See how, with the revolution of devices digital interface took turn to Natural, Touch and Organic User Interfaces. See how User Interface has evolved in last twenty years. See how the current trends in touch screens, text to speech and AI are molding the mere fabric of the User Interface and how the user adoption still is the key to a successful User Interface Design.

As designers and agency owners we constantly manage the chaos of mastering a craft, being diverse, all the while trying to differentiate ourselves and adapting our processes and deliverables in an industry that changes at lightening speeds. As if the web wasn’t difficult enough, the advent of mobile product design and service design has created an entirely new industry and career paths, completely disrupting everything we knew about engagements, processes, deliverables, and expectations of design teams and agencies.
Face it, the industry is constantly changing and so should we. Let’s learn to embrace change and use it to intentionally position ourselves for constant reinvention and how to fashion the skills and environments necessary for creating meaningful products in the modern age and beyond.
Presented at Owner Summit 2015, Austin Texas
There has been a lot of discussion during the last 50 years about the nature of programming: Is it an art like poetry? Is it craftsmanship like pottery? Is it an exact science like physics? Or a non exact science like medicine? Is it engineering like bridge building?
Whatever the nature of software development is: during this time, a lot of tools and techniques have appeared to make your lazy-developer life more difficult: Coding conventions, OOP, FP, SOLID, Design Patterns, Tests, TDD, UML, Use-cases, CASE tools, Refactoring, RUP, Agile, SCRUM, Continuous Integration, Code Complexity Metrics, Emergent Architecture, DevOps, SCM... and whatnot!
But, sometimes, being a lazy developer makes you do things that seemed counterintuitive, in order to pursue your main objective: WORK LESS.
Design sprints are all the rage. It may sound like a trendy buzzword but the reality is that flavors of agile methodologies and design sprints are already the status quo for designing and developing digital software. How can you deliver the perfect product for a client in a set time frame, budget with limited revisions? Design is never perfect or done and design sprints allow you to incrementally enhance a product over time. If you’re designing web and mobile applications and you’re not using an agile or sprint process, you’re probably hitting road blocks.
Get ready to learn why agile is the best methodology to craft and ship great digital products and maintain a balanced studio and work life. We’ll be reviewing Funsize’s design sprint model and organize into teams to run through a workshop using an example native mobile design project. We’ll then discuss outcomes-based design sprints (as popularized by Google Ventures Design) and work as a team through a web design challenge.
My keynote talk at the 2007 IA Konferenz in Stuttgart, Germany, I argued we need to create fewer final designed artifacts and more tools to help everyone design. The audio can be downloaded from here: http://www.iavoice.com/2007/11/27/ia-konferenz-2007-keynote-english/
This presentation covers basic design principles, need of mobile app, challenges,design paradigms and tools. It contains exhaustive list of design tools which helps designer to speed up the workflow, to make the right design and better UI. Various tools available for example Affinity diagram, Mind Map (Coggle, Xmind, Mindmeister, Mapmyself, Mindnode) , Moodboard (Moodshare, Sampleboard, Musepeak), Personas (Usersbox, UXlady, Marketing before funding) , Interaction Design (Ninjamock, Balsamiq, Justinmind) , Visual Design (Adobe illustrator, Adobe photoshop, Adobe indesign), Facebook Origami, proto.io, Flinto, Omnigraffle, the noun project, Pictaculous, Androidniceties.

Design for failure in the IoT: what could possibly go wrong?Claire Rowland
We’re putting computing power, machine learning, sensing, actuation, and connectivity into more and more objects, services, and systems in the physical world. This enables new ways for things to work better. But it also creates new possibilities for failure, not least when software problems produce real-world consequences. Failures can damage the user experience, undermine the value of the product, and sometimes present danger.
When you develop a connected product, you must identify everything that could go wrong—from power failures to cessation of user support—and ensure that each potential problem can be adequately mitigated. If the value of your product is marginal but the consequences of it going wrong could be catastrophic, it’s time to rethink your plans.

How to make the agile team work with security requirements? To get secure coding practices into agile development is often hard work. A security functional requirement might be included in the sprint, but to get secure testing, secure architecture and feedback of security incidents working is not an easy talk for many agile teams. In my role as Scrum Master and security consultant I have developed a recipe of 7 steps that I will present to you. Where we will talk about agile secure development, agile threat modelling, agile security testing and agile workflows with security. Many of the steps can be made without costly tools, and I will present open source alternatives for all steps. This to make a test easier and to get a lower startup of your teams security process.

Whether you were just starting your AI journey or already familiar with its concepts, one thing was certain: AI was reshaping the future of work. This enablement session was your chance to level up your skills and stay ahead in that rapidly evolving landscape.
As AI news continues to dominate headlines, it's natural to have questions and concerns about its impact on our lives. Will AI take over human jobs? Will it render us obsolete? Rest assured, the outlook is far brighter than you may think. Rather than replacing humans, AI is designed to enhance our capabilities and work alongside us. It won't be replacing marketers, service representatives, or salespeople—it will be empowering them to achieve even greater results. Companies across industries recognize this potential and are embracing AI to unlock new levels of performance.
During this enablement session, you'll have the opportunity to explore how AI advancements can positively influence your professional journey and daily life. We'll debunk common misconceptions, address fears, and showcase real-world examples of how successful AI implementation leads to workforce augmentation rather than replacement. Be prepared to gain valuable insights and practical knowledge that will help you navigate the AI landscape with confidence.
How to analyze text data for AI and ML with Named Entity RecognitionSkyl.ai
About the webinar
The Internet is a rich source of data, mainly textual data. But making use of huge quantities of data is a complex and time-consuming task. NLP can help with this problem through the use of Named Entity Recognition systems. Named entities are terms that refer to names, organizations, locations, values etc. NER annotates texts – marking where and what type of named entities occurred in it. This step significantly simplifies further use of such data, allowing for easy categorization of documents, analyze sentiments, improving automatically generated summaries etc.
Further, in many industries, the vocabulary keeps changing and growing with new research, abbreviations, long and complex constructions, and makes it difficult to get accurate results or use rule-based methods. Named Entity Recognition and Classification can help to effectively extract, tag, index, and manage this fast and ever-growing knowledge.
Through this webinar, we will understand how NER can be used to extract key entities from large volumes of text data
What you will learn
- How organizations are leveraging Named Entity Recognition across various industries
- Live demo - Identify & classify complex terms & with NERC (Named Entity Recognition & Categorization)
- Best practice to automate machine learning models in hours not months

Ask me anything:A Conversational Interface to Augment Information Security w...Matthew Park
Security products often create more problems than they
solve, drowning users in alerts without providing the context
required to remediate threats. This challenge is compounded
by a lack of experienced personnel and security
tools with complex interfaces. These interfaces require users
to become domain experts or rely on repetitive, time consuming
tasks to turn this data deluge into actionable intelligence.
In this paper we present Artemis, a conversational
interface to endpoint detection and response (EDR)
event data. Artemis leverages dialog to drive the automation
of complex tasks and reduce the need to learn a structured
query language. Designed to empower inexperienced
and junior security workers to better understand their security
environment, Artemis provides an intuitive platform
to ask questions of alert data as users are guided through
triage and hunt workflows. In this paper, we will discuss
our user-centric design methodology, feedback from user interviews,
and the design requirements generated upon completion
of our study. We will also present core functionality,
findings from scenario-based testing, and future research for
the Artemis platform.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
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!
