What is the Future of Mobile Web Application ? Mobile Web could be the final winner of the Mobile App Race ?

The document discusses how some mobile marketing pioneers are successfully utilizing mobile marketing by following three key principles: performance, interaction, and enhancement. It provides examples of companies that have optimized for mobile performance, resulting in significant load time reductions and revenue increases. Interaction challenges on mobile like form design and long lists are also covered. The importance of progressive enhancement to ensure content works across devices is emphasized. Real-world examples like Orbitz redesign and the BBC Olympics coverage illustrate how following these principles can lead to major benefits like conversion rate doubles and record online usage.

This session ran on the first day of the a4u Expo 2012.

Global shipments of smartphones now surpass shipments of desktops, notebooks, and laptops. The growth of mobile devices has followed a steep trajectory, while desktop shipments have declined. The mobile web is also growing much faster than the desktop web did in the 1990s, increasing eight times as quickly. This rapid growth indicates people's strong preference for mobile connectivity and demonstrates the need to design websites flexibly for many types of devices, including some not yet invented.

Problems & Challenges in Responsive Web Designing and Mobile Web apps. Delivering Fast Responsive Site

Mobile platforms will be the catalyst for new connected experiences. Mobile development will shift focus beyond apps to infrastructure integration. There will be no single approach to client-side development. Mobile will transform business models by offering deeper engagement, real-time interactions, altering pricing, upending cost structures, and facilitating access to information for billions. Business leaders must think mobile-first, focus on convenience, use feedback to evolve services rapidly, organize around mobile delivery, and prepare for further disruption.

Having developed MobilePress, I have unique experience and knowledge about using WordPress as a mobile publishing platform. My talk will give some insight into the mobile world and why you should care about it, how to turn your blog into a mobile blog and some technical information about developing and optimizing mobile themes for your blog.

Product design can go wrong and affect users negatively. How do your users feel using your product? What’s the impact that you cause? Can we build better products if we follow certain standards or principles? This talk will explore how to better care about users and improve their experience by taking a more ethical approach. Most importantly, this talk will hopefully be an inspiration, question the status quo and help us build for a better future web.

The document discusses the importance of ethical design. It argues that designers should focus on creating products that benefit users and society, consider how designs may negatively impact people, and prioritize data privacy and security. The document also stresses that designers have a responsibility to treat users well and should reconsider approaches that do not respect people or could enable harm. Overall, it promotes designing with good intent and continual improvement to help build a better future internet.

Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition. Nevertheless, much of our time on the web is still used up by waiting. To decrease our wait time and improve the web’s overall performance, this integral part of user experience needs further promotion. Waiting and the perception of time itself, is reason enough to explore some of the psychological effects time has on our users, too. Passing time also plays a big role in the evolution of technologies. Through the history of HTTP we have reached the latest version as HTTP/2, which will turn some of our existing web performance best practices on their head and into the new anti-patterns of today.

Web performance optimisation has been gaining ground and is slowly getting more of its deserved recognition. Now that we’ve learned to recognise this integral part of user experience and are approaching HTTP/2 as our new protocol of choice, some of our existing web performance best practices will turn into the new anti-patterns.

Are you interested in dipping your toes in the cloud native observability waters, but as an engineer you are not sure where to get started with tracing problems through your microservices and application landscapes on Kubernetes? Then this is the session for you, where we take you on your first steps in an active open-source project that offers a buffet of languages, challenges, and opportunities for getting started with telemetry data. The project is called openTelemetry, but before diving into the specifics, we’ll start with de-mystifying key concepts and terms such as observability, telemetry, instrumentation, cardinality, percentile to lay a foundation. After understanding the nuts and bolts of observability and distributed traces, we’ll explore the openTelemetry community; its Special Interest Groups (SIGs), repositories, and how to become not only an end-user, but possibly a contributor.We will wrap up with an overview of the components in this project, such as the Collector, the OpenTelemetry protocol (OTLP), its APIs, and its SDKs. Attendees will leave with an understanding of key observability concepts, become grounded in distributed tracing terminology, be aware of the components of openTelemetry, and know how to take their first steps to an open-source contribution! Key Takeaways: Open source, vendor neutral instrumentation is an exciting new reality as the industry standardizes on openTelemetry for observability. OpenTelemetry is on a mission to enable effective observability by making high-quality, portable telemetry ubiquitous. The world of observability and monitoring today has a steep learning curve and in order to achieve ubiquity, the project would benefit from growing our contributor community.

The integration of programming into civil engineering is transforming the industry. We can design complex infrastructure projects and analyse large datasets. Imagine revolutionizing the way we build our cities and infrastructure, all by the power of coding. Programming skills are no longer just a bonus—they’re a game changer in this era. Technology is revolutionizing civil engineering by integrating advanced tools and techniques. Programming allows for the automation of repetitive tasks, enhancing the accuracy of designs, simulations, and analyses. With the advent of artificial intelligence and machine learning, engineers can now predict structural behaviors under various conditions, optimize material usage, and improve project planning.

Presented at Gartner Data & Analytics, London Maty 2024. BT Group has used the Neo4j Graph Database to enable impressive digital transformation programs over the last 6 years. By re-imagining their operational support systems to adopt self-serve and data lead principles they have substantially reduced the number of applications and complexity of their operations. The result has been a substantial reduction in risk and costs while improving time to value, innovation, and process automation. Join this session to hear their story, the lessons they learned along the way and how their future innovation plans include the exploration of uses of EKG + Generative AI.

Have you noticed the OpenSSF Scorecard badges on the official Dart and Flutter repos? It's Google's way of showing that they care about security. Practices such as pinning dependencies, branch protection, required reviews, continuous integration tests etc. are measured to provide a score and accompanying badge. You can do the same for your projects, and this presentation will show you how, with an emphasis on the unique challenges that come up when working with Dart and Flutter. The session will provide a walkthrough of the steps involved in securing a first repository, and then what it takes to repeat that process across an organization with multiple repos. It will also look at the ongoing maintenance involved once scorecards have been implemented, and how aspects of that maintenance can be better automated to minimize toil.

Not so much to say
