Multiscreen Email Design: Lessons from the ProsLitmus
Recently it seems as if mobile email has become the new hot topic among digital marketers. Much of this conversation centers around the on-screen experience: What's the best way to design an email so it renders well and drives opens, clicks and most importantly conversions and other desired goals on the tiny screen of a smartphone, mid-sized tablet and larger monitor on a laptop or desktop PC? While certainly important questions to ask, this is only one aspect of an effective mobile and multiscreen email marketing strategy. Before you make over the email message itself, you must first work out many other aspects of your multiscreen strategy.
In this Webinar, Loren McDonald will assemble a team of some of the smartest thinkers in the mobile/multiscreen email marketing design arena. Together they will tackle some of the toughest questions and offer real-life advice for getting multiscreen email right.
Among the specific topics will include the following:
Learning the implications of each major screen size and device
Determining what devices your subscriber base is using and how and where they are converting
Discussing the different types of design approaches, such as responsive and scalable, and which is the best fit based on your resources and expertise
Creating a consistent user experience across email and Web/landing pages
Examples and key best practices
Communicating with your designer and programmer
Testing, learning, optimization and measurement/analysis
Future trends and predictions - where is it all going

MIR Interview with Adam Froman, CEO of Delvinia and AskingCanadians™
Is the social media hype about being cool or about making money?
For Adam Froman, the answer is easy: Marketers need to be very clear about how social media activity supports overall business strategy. Only if the digital experience fi ts into the whole customer journey will consumers become engaged and add value to the company … and only then will the social brand become cool.
In this presentation, part of Multiplicity's ongoing speaker series about Launching and Growing: Your First 100 Customers, AskingCanadians Vice President Raj Manocha focuses on how insights can help companies better understand their customers and what’s important to them. The presentation highlights the role insights can play in innovation, cost effective ways for start-ups to collect insights and how research can make you a thought leader.
Getting Mileage Out of Your Dashboard: Confirmit Community Conference 2013Delvinia
Dashboards present an exciting and compelling proposition. But, dashboards alone are not the solution to harnessing Big Data. The trouble is, too many organizations make the mistake of taking a data or technology approach to dashboards.
In August 2012, AskingCanadians and Pelmorex Media, owners of The Weather Network, embarked on an exciting research initiative to see if they could harness multi-platform, multi-source data to create a user-centric dashboard that would provide a single Brand Health Index designed to enable decision makers at The Weather Network to make better business decisions.
In a presentation at the 2013 Confirmit Community Conference in Las Vegas, Adam Froman, CEO of Delvinia & AskingCanadians, and Carol Pilas, Director, Market Research for Pelmorex Media, shared the learnings from this project—built using Confirmit as a key data collection component¬¬—and their journey of harnessing the power of Big Data.

The Future of Respondent Engagement: Motivating Respondents to Participate in...Delvinia
While digital technologies have fundamentally changed the way companies can capture the voice of the customer, the challenge is to understand the underlying motivation for consumers to participate in market research in the digital age. Given this changing environment, Delvinia wanted to understand how to motivate Canadians to share their opinions.

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!

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
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:
PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
