My opening keynote from Responsive Field Day 2015 (https://www.responsivefieldday.com/) in Portland OR.

Brad Frost Web designer Style Guide Best Practices We’re tasked with creating experiences that look and function beautifully across a dizzying array of devices and environments. That’s a tall order in and of itself, but once you factor in other team members, clients, stakeholders, and organizational quirks, things start looking downright intimidating. With so many variables to consider, we need solid ground to stand on. Style guides are quickly proving to be foundational tools for tackling this increasingly-diverse web landscape while still maintaining your sanity. Style guides promote consistency, establish a shared vocabulary, make testing easier, and lay a future-friendly foundation. This session will detail best practices and considerations for creating and maintaining style guides, so you can set up your organization for success.

Design systems, not pages. This is an introduction to atomic design (http://bradfrostweb.com/blog/post/atomic-web-design/), a methodology for crafting an effective interface design system. It also introduces Pattern Lab (http://patternlab.io/), a tool for implementing atomic design systems and pattern libraries.

This document discusses Atomic Design, a methodology for building design systems. It begins by explaining that interfaces are made of systems of components, not just pages. It then discusses frameworks like Foundation and Bootstrap, as well as their potential pitfalls. The document introduces Atomic Design and its principles of separating interfaces into abstract and concrete levels. It explains Pattern Lab as a tool for building design systems and provides examples of existing style guides. Overall, the document advocates for a systematic approach to design to improve collaboration and build reusable and scalable components.

All matter, no matter how complex, can be broken down into molecules which can be broken down further into atomic elements. All web interfaces can be broken down down the same way. Atomic Design provides a methodology for building an effective design system. It consists of five distint stages: atoms, molecules, organisms, templates and pages.

Responsive web design has hit the scene like a bomb, and now designers everywhere are showing off to their bosses and peers by resizing their browser windows. "Look! The site is squishy!" While creating flexible layouts is important, there's a whole lot more that goes into truly exceptional adaptive web experiences. This session will introduce the Principles of Adaptive Design: ubiquity, flexibility, performance, enhancement and future-friendliness. We need go beyond media queries in order to preserve the web's ubiquity and move it in a future-friendly direction.

Our digital landscape includes desktops, laptops, smartphones, featurephones, tablets, e-readers, netbooks and more. But this is just the beginning. As the digital landscape continues to become even more complex, it's essential for us to start thinking beyond the desktop and embrace the unpredictability of the future. There's no such thing as future-proof, but there are things we can do in order to better prepare ourselves for the era of ubiquitous connectivity. We need to start thinking and acting differently in order to create meaningful web experiences that continue to be relevant well beyond the scope of the initial projects. This session will cover: A better understanding of future friendly principles Tips for better supporting today's device landscape while being better prepared for tomorrow's How to apply future friendly thinking in your current web projects

The document discusses the history and development of artificial intelligence over the past 70 years. It outlines some of the key milestones in AI research from the early work in the 1950s to modern advances in machine learning using neural networks. While progress has been made, fully general human-level artificial intelligence remains an ongoing challenge being worked on by researchers.

This document discusses side B of some item and contains many repetitive symbols that do not provide meaningful information. It is not possible to determine the topic or essential details from the content given.

Media queries may be responsive design’s secret sauce, but we know there’s a whole lot more that goes into crafting amazing adaptive experiences. By dissecting an example of a mobile-first responsive design, we can uncover the principles of adaptive design and highlight some considerations for creating contextually-aware web experiences. This goes over emerging mobile web best practices and responsive patterns that can assist in our journey toward a future-friendly web.

As the digital landscape continues to become more complex, it's essential for us to start thinking beyond the desktop and embrace the unpredictability of the future. Mobile is forcing us to rethink the content we create and the context in which people interact with our products and services. This session will cover how to change our thinking and start acting differently in order to create more future-friendly experiences.

For full breakdown, visit http://bradfrostweb.com/blog/web/for-a-future-friendly-web/ This talk was from Web Design Day (http://webdesignday.com) in beautiful Pittsburgh, PA. This talk introduces the need to start thinking and acting in a more future-friendly (http://futurefriend.ly) way when approaching web design. The diversity of web-enabled devices is increasing at an alarming rate. We have to rethink our content and the contexts in which our content is viewed.

Everyone's screaming "We need to be 'on' mobile!" What does that even mean? Where do you start? One of the biggest challenges is getting clients, coworkers and stakeholders on board with the mobile web and actually execute a project the right way. The hurdles are many: lack of understanding of the medium, small budgets, outdated processes and many more. Every organization is different so changing existing behaviors and processes takes a lot of effort, patience and time. This presentation shows you how to execute a mobile web project successfully with a cross-disciplinary team. We'll provide a set of helpful tools and practices to get you started and help educate your coworkers and clients at the same time. Topics discussed: - Selling the mobile-first philosophy and strategy Using mobile as an excuse to develop a strong content strategy - Overcoming "App-itis" (people's tendency to think anything made for mobile needs to be a native app) - How to create future-friendly mobile web experiences

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.
