Adaptation: Why responsive design actually begins on the server

This document provides an overview of a presentation on native mobile apps versus mobile web apps. It includes slides on why developers were fighting over the two approaches, Apple's announcement allowing third-party apps on the iPhone, and the surprise success of the iPhone App Store. It also discusses factors that contributed to the App Store's success like its openness, revenue split, and fewer restrictions compared to mobile carriers. The document debates questions around whether apps create platform lock-in, if app stores are essential to a platform's success, and challenges of developing for multiple mobile platforms. It suggests that HTML5 and WebKit may become the dominant mobile platform.

The document discusses device agnostic design, which aims to create content that can be accessed and displayed well on any device. It emphasizes building with reusable modular components rather than bespoke designs for each device. The key aspects are understanding content stacking strategies across screens, using content-based rather than device-based breakpoints, and designing interactive elements that work for both touch and non-touch interfaces. The goal is to provide users with a continuous experience regardless of the device they use.

This document discusses improving mobile user experiences. It notes that mobile is the primary way people access the internet in some countries. Constraints on mobile like form factor and battery life must be considered. Simple interfaces work best for mobile. Native apps have advantages over mobile web, but the line is blurring. Windows Mobile was replaced by Windows Phone 7 which improved the user experience. The document emphasizes understanding user behaviors and focusing on usability.

What will education and teaching look like in the future. Emerging technologies, changing pedagogies, new literacies and digital learners. This presentation is produced for teachers and trainers.

The document discusses designing for multiple devices. It notes that mobile device usage is increasing dramatically and surpassing the global population. People use their mobile devices in many contexts throughout the day for a variety of tasks. As a result, designers must consider how to provide equal and continuous experiences across different devices. Approaches include responsive design, which adapts content based on screen size, and apps, which are focused on specific platforms. The document also highlights important differences to consider between designing for Android versus iOS.

The document discusses how imagination led to important innovations in information technology like the Internet, World Wide Web, smartphones, and search engines. It argues that without imagination, there would be no digital revolution as we know it today and provides examples of pioneering technologies that emerged from imaginative ideas including the Internet, Web browsers, Google, iPod, and iPhone.

New sensor based Web Standards developments have punched a hole in the web that is letting the real world leak into the browser. The getUserMedia API now lets us access cameras and microphones and JSARToolkit and javascript based Natural Feature Tracking like the examples from ICG Graz University have shown that browsers can now be taught to perceive the world around them. Combine this with the <canvas> and WebGL and you have a real working model for a Web Standards based Augmented Reality. On top of this we also have OGCs Sensor Web Enablement and new developments like the Sensor API and the rapid spread of networked sensors and wireless Arduino-ised devices. Massively distributed dynamic immersive visualisation is now the new structural form for the modern web.

This presentation at Web Directions South 2007 captures the screens from an interactive poll held during the presentation. 67 people in the audience joined in and a dynamic profile of their phones, browsers, operating system and network providers is also include. A more involved analysis of the results will be available soon...

Convergence is the verb that everyone is focused upon. Divergence is the noun at the end of that process. This presentation lays out some foundation ideas for mobile strategy development.

The document discusses mobile trends and how businesses can develop mobile strategies. It notes that over 1.7 billion people use internet on PCs while over 4.1 billion use mobile phones. Further, over 1 million iPhones have been sold in Australia in less than 2 years and iPhone users frequently upgrade the operating system. The document suggests that the key difference mobile brings is context, contact and community and asks how these mobile trends impact a business' model and value chain. It recommends that a mobile strategy focus on context, contact and community.

A brief exploration of proposed Level 4 Media Queries and some thoughts about the future of the web. Presented at Responsive Day Out in Brighton on June 27 2014.

It took 16 years for smartphone penetration to reach 1 billion people. Analysts believe it will take only 3 years to reach the next billion. The devices these consumers buy will be incredibly diverse, yet many will run on Android; a platform that now sees more than 1.5 million activations per day. In this presentation, we explore the fascinating rise of Android around the globe. From dual SIM phones in Indonesia, to dual screen e-ink devices in Russia and crowd-sourced platform modifications in China, we will discover the role open source has played in Android's popularity and how to design for such a diverse environment.

Today’s 'smart devices' are a product of the technology and mental models of our past. From a connected lightbulb to a robot vacuum, using most of these devices requires a native app. This in turn greatly limits their contexts of use. Can we really expect users to download an app to interact with a random ’thing’ they encounter at the mall, a space they explore for an hour at the museum, or a city they will only visit for a day? What devices could we build, what 'smart' environments could we enable if users could simply discover, “walk up and use”(and then if needed, abandon) these objects and environments as they do a web site? This workshop will discuss two new technologies--Physical Web and Web Bluetooth--that can enable on-demand interaction with physical things and spaces using no more than a browser.

The document contains several quotes about beauty, charm, and sexuality from various sources. It discusses the idea that charm is more important than other qualities, that trying too hard to appear sexy can be unattractive, and that true beauty comes from within and being confident in oneself.

Presentation by Stephanie Rieger of Yiibu at the MobX Conference in Berlin, Germany November 17, 2012.

The document discusses the challenges of designing products in today's environment of rapid technological disruption and change. It notes that the adoption of new technologies is happening at an unprecedented pace, and that users now expect to cocreate and modify products. This shifting landscape requires designers to create more adaptable and loosely defined products that can evolve with input from many actors in the ecosystem. Orchestrating tightly controlled experiences becomes difficult as products spread online and are influenced by diverse perspectives.

Websites are all about content. People can access your content many different ways and formats with mobile devices, iPads, phones, etc. The questions are: how can we maintain control over the display of our content and keep our brand consistent? How can we try to provide the best user experience on any platform? Enter Responsive Web Design. Many experts are not leaning on one static design but on structured content that adapts to its given environment. In this talk, we are going to take a look at responsive web design techniques out there including: progressive enhancement, flexible grids, media queries, flexible images & video, & other methods of implementation.

The document discusses the current state of conversational interfaces such as chatbots and voice assistants, noting that while early versions were limited, recent advances in artificial intelligence, data availability, and user expectations have created new opportunities for conversational interfaces to become more useful. However, conversational interfaces still have limitations and work best when focused on simple, well-defined tasks rather than attempting to replace more complex interactions or functions better suited to humans. Designing effective conversational interfaces requires keeping interactions simple, clearly setting user expectations, and in some cases, involving human assistance.

This document provides 10 lessons learned from Steve Jobs as described by the author's "iMentor", Steve Jobs. The lessons are: follow your heart, make a dent in the universe, think different, sell dreams not products, make products for yourself, say no to 1,000 things, keep it simple, go for excellence, break the rules, and that you only live once. The author reflects on how Steve Jobs impacted their principles at work and home through the mentorship and inspiration of Jobs, though they never directly met.

The web was first conceived 25 years ago, by an Englishman. Fifteen years later, as the first crop of dot.coms were going bust, close to 60% of its users (and all Alexa "top 20" sites) came from developed nations. Fast forward to today, and the picture is strikingly different. Almost half the Alexa "top 20" now comes from emerging economies. Economies where close to 3 billion people have yet to use the web, but thanks to mobile--won't have to wait much longer to discover it. This presentation will introduce you to fascinating and innovative services that are re-shaping the web to serve the consumers of tomorrow. Driven by mobile, the power of personal relationships, and the breakneck pace of globalisation, these services provide a glimpse into the business models, opportunities and challenges we will face, when growing a truly global web.

The document discusses the diversity of mobile devices globally and how this diversity is likely to persist. It notes that while some designers may choose to only design for the newest, most powerful platforms, an inclusive approach is needed to provide accessibility while still ensuring a great user experience across a wide range of contexts, inputs, and users. Context, attention, and usability have changed as mobile devices have become more capable and integrated into more aspects of our lives.

The document discusses how the context in which mobile devices are used has become increasingly complex and unpredictable. Guidelines from a few years ago around mobile design being context-driven are now outdated, as mobile and Internet-connected devices have proliferated and their uses have diversified. Over 5 billion people now own mobile devices, which for many are their primary or only means of Internet access. This shift has dramatically changed user behavior and expectations.

This document discusses creating an accessible and inclusive mobile experience. It begins by noting that while some devices like the iPhone are popular, they only represent a small portion of the overall mobile device market and user population. It then examines the need to make the mobile web accessible to all users, not just those with certain devices, and provides examples of how usage and capabilities vary greatly across the global mobile landscape. The document advocates for an adaptive approach that considers all mobile contexts rather than targeting specific devices or browsers.

The document discusses how the internet and mobile technology have become integrated into everyday life. Key points include: - The internet is no longer an activity confined to desktop computers, but something that people access constantly through mobile devices. - There are now over 5 billion mobile subscribers globally, and mobile phones are becoming as powerful as computers were a few years ago. - People use their mobile devices to engage in many activities like chatting, scheduling, shopping, and following up on things looked up on other devices. - Mobile internet usage is shifting from just short activities to complementing and facilitating longer tasks like research, transactions, and important decisions.

Mobile internet access is becoming ubiquitous, with over 1.3 billion people now using their mobile devices to access the internet. Context for how the internet is accessed has changed dramatically, with people now commonly using their phones, tablets, and other devices to engage in many online activities both brief and extended. This has disrupted traditional models of web design which focused on desktop access with predictable contexts. A new approach is needed to create engaging mobile content in this environment of tremendous diversity and unpredictability.

Mobile devices have seen tremendous growth over the past decade. What began as voice-only devices are now powerful computers that are highly personal, accessible through many operating systems and manufacturers, and support a vast array of applications and services. However, designing for mobile introduces unique constraints around limited screens, battery life, and varied contexts of use. The most popular uses of mobile today include social networking, games, photos, messaging and information searching, though there is opportunity for applications that enhance people's lives in meaningful ways by supporting tasks, learning, self-improvement and quality of life. Successful mobile design focuses on the user, iterates quickly, and views limitations as opportunities rather than barriers.

This document discusses lessons learned about developing cross-platform mobile maps. It notes that mobile usage has greatly increased over desktop in recent years. Effective cross-platform mapping requires supporting major mobile browsers out of the box while being optimized for slower 3G connections by reducing accuracy, limiting interactivity, breaking content into smaller pieces, and handling disruptions gracefully. User location detection is also important but poses challenges. Code samples are provided at the given URL.

The document discusses designing experiences for multiple devices. It notes that users now own and switch between multiple devices throughout the day, from phones to tablets to wearables. As such, designers must consider how to provide equal, continuous experiences across different platforms and prioritize building modular content that can be adapted for any device or input method. Navigation and usability must work seamlessly regardless of screen size or input type.

As such, designers must consider how to provide equal, continuous experiences across different platforms and prioritize building modular content that can be adapted for any device or input method. Navigation and usability must work seamlessly regardless of device.

Input is constantly evolving and expanding beyond traditional keyboard and mouse. The document discusses 7 principles for adapting web design to different inputs: 1. Design for the largest target by default. 2. Design for modes of interaction instead of specific inputs. 3. Make designs accessible to all inputs. 4. Support multiple concurrent inputs. 5. Abstract baseline inputs like tap, click, and point. 6. Progressively enhance with new inputs like gestures and sensors. 7. Include different inputs in testing plans. The key message is that input cannot be detected, is a continuum, and is always changing. Web design needs to be adaptable and not assume certain inputs based on device properties.

The document discusses how technology is increasingly woven into everyday life and the physical world. It describes several new technologies like smart connected objects, self-driving cars that collect data, smart forks that track eating habits and communicate with apps. It argues that the web needs to embrace these new technologies and find ways to connect physical systems to provide more seamless experiences, rather than trying to compete with native apps. The future may involve the web enabling discovery of physical objects and powering connections between various systems and technologies.

A mobile introduction: covering native and cross platform development, fragmentation, UI and UX and some projects ive worked on.

The document discusses the effects of digital devices on customers and their lives. It notes that phones demand too much attention taking away from real experiences. It also discusses how analog metaphors make less sense with digital devices and new paradigms are needed for experiencing media like text on screens. Finally, it talks about how all information feeds into something larger than individuals, like a superorganism or colony of digital information, and how greater internet thought is now manifesting locally through events like the Arab Spring.

The document discusses designing mobile web experiences. It begins by noting that while some devices like the iPhone are popular, the overall penetration of smartphones remains relatively low globally. It then examines the diversity of mobile devices and browsers in use. The document argues for an adaptive approach that works across different browsers and devices, using techniques like responsive design with media queries. It provides guidelines for mobile-friendly development, such as using semantic HTML, limiting animations for performance, and structuring CSS to deliver the right styles for each device type. The goal is to make the mobile web accessible to all users, not just those with specific devices.

No matter how much we try to put ourselves into a mobile first mentality, it is hard for us to do so fully. Our access to PCs prevents us from experiencing mobile the way many in the world do. We're currently fighting for parity among experiences. We're arguing that the mobile version shouldn't be a dumbed down version of the desktop site. But we've set our sights too low. In a true Mobile First world, the mobile version should be the best experience. Mobile shouldn't just match the desktop experience, it should exceed it.

Stream processing is a crucial component of modern data infrastructure, but constructing an efficient and scalable stream processing system can be challenging. Decoupling compute and storage architecture has emerged as an effective solution to these challenges, but it can introduce high latency issues, especially when dealing with complex continuous queries that necessitate managing extra-large internal states. In this talk, we focus on addressing the high latency issues associated with S3 storage in stream processing systems that employ a decoupled compute and storage architecture. We delve into the root causes of latency in this context and explore various techniques to minimize the impact of S3 latency on stream processing performance. Our proposed approach is to implement a tiered storage mechanism that leverages a blend of high-performance and low-cost storage tiers to reduce data movement between the compute and storage layers while maintaining efficient processing. Throughout the talk, we will present experimental results that demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in mitigating the impact of S3 latency on stream processing. By the end of the talk, attendees will have gained insights into how to optimize their stream processing systems for reduced latency and improved cost-efficiency.

Is your patent a vanity piece of paper for your office wall? Or is it a reliable, defendable, assertable, property right? The difference is often quality. Is your patent simply a transactional cost and a large pile of legal bills for your startup? Or is it a leverageable asset worthy of attracting precious investment dollars, worth its cost in multiples of valuation? The difference is often quality. Is your patent application only good enough to get through the examination process? Or has it been crafted to stand the tests of time and varied audiences if you later need to assert that document against an infringer, find yourself litigating with it in an Article 3 Court at the hands of a judge and jury, God forbid, end up having to defend its validity at the PTAB, or even needing to use it to block pirated imports at the International Trade Commission? The difference is often quality. Quality will be our focus for a good chunk of the remainder of this season. What goes into a quality patent, and where possible, how do you get it without breaking the bank? ** Episode Overview ** In this first episode of our quality series, Kristen Hansen and the panel discuss: ⦿ What do we mean when we say patent quality? ⦿ Why is patent quality important? ⦿ How to balance quality and budget ⦿ The importance of searching, continuations, and draftsperson domain expertise ⦿ Very practical tips, tricks, examples, and Kristen’s Musts for drafting quality applications https://www.aurorapatents.com/patently-strategic-podcast.html
