Mobile Software Engineering

Black Friday is named for being the day retailers get out of the red and into the black, turning a profit for the year. While the retail industry shifts increasingly moves to an e-commerce-focused model, there are still tremendous opportunities for physical retail locations to deliver what web browsers cannot: in-store experiences augmented by mobile apps. In fact, 77% of mobile-driven purchases are in-store purchases, according to a recent study conducted by Neilsen, Telmetrics and xAd. Being the experts in location and context, we are intensely aware of how physical locations and points of interest drive user experiences, especially in the retail industry.

Adaptable Engineering: 3D Printing and Agile

Evan Leybourn

Agile has been very successful in the software industry, where the cost of change is relatively low; creating an environment for adaptable teams, projects and products. Meanwhile, in other industries, engineering in particular, traditional development approaches hold sway due to the significantly higher cost involved in product change. For an Agile engineering approach to be successful, the cost of change – both in people and fabrication – needs to be reduced. This is where 3D printing technologies come in. This interactive session will examine many of the issues faced when applying Agile to physical-engineering product development. It will show how 3D printing technologies can decrease the iterative design cycle time, reduce the barrier to entry, and support the creation of highly complex products or prototypes through modular development. Participate in the real-time development and printing of a product using agile approaches and get a basic understanding of how to use 3D modelling and printing tools. Discover how 3D printing can, and is, being used to develop engineering products.

Internet of Things: The World Speaks

Simplify360

The world has developed faster than humans even imagined it to. It is coming to a stage where almost everything is beginning to depend on internet. So, what exactly is Internet of Things? Anything and everything which can be assigned an IP address and provided the ability to transfer data can be branched under internet of things. While it is still a human who operates a computer, when it comes to storing and remembering data, a computer might perform better. This being said, humans have become completely dependent on a system in every walk of their life. Some companies have utilized this opportunity and also leveraged it to derive profits. This has also helped people keep track of latest happenings, of things that they like and more.

"Irreproducible bugs become highly reproducible right after delivery to the customer". This is something that happens "almost" everyday. It is well known that testing offers significant advantages as a development practice and helps ensure higher quality code with fewer defects. Unfortunately, testing Android apps can be challenging, so in this session we are gonna talk about available tools and practices that could help us accomplish our goals.

Using Twitter to Market Your Corporate All-Stars

O'Reilly Media - Learning

In this session took a look at how real people use the internet, be it directly or through a connected device and how task performance and engagement levels are directly connected to the quality of the information made available. We explores ways to personalize content delivery and increase utilization and relevance of services provided, and how to engage and support users in their journey through an experience, while attending to the specific details of a business or service proposition. We also went under the hood to understand how to structure content to make it adaptive, how to organize it to make it findable, what the specific challenges and opportunities of the mobile space are and how to create outstanding experiences that integrate seamlessly in a true cross-channel strategy.
