It encourages experimenting with code snippets but knowing your limits, and consulting developers when examples are complex. The goal is to help people get started writing simple plugins.

This document discusses Holacracy, an alternative organizational structure to traditional hierarchies. It notes that current management structures were designed for factories, while Holacracy is designed for humans. Holacracy eliminates hierarchies and instead focuses on clearly defined roles and circles within an organization. It aims to embrace autonomy through separating people from roles and having roles, not managers, make decisions. While challenging to implement due to issues of power, some companies have adopted aspects of Holacracy.

Over the past several years, as the role of the browser has grown, rich desktop-like apps have emerged built entirely in the browser. To enable this movement, a new generation of powerful JavaScript frameworks have emerged including EmberJS, AngularJS, BackboneJS, and React. In this 30 minute crash course on front end frameworks, Bloc co-founder and CTO Dave Paola will cover the history of front end web development, the recent emergence of these new Javascript frameworks, and go over some of the pros and cons for learning them. We'll hear from Bloc co-founder and CTO Dave Paola and Bloc Developer Christian Schlensker. Prior to Bloc, Dave was a developer at Kontagent, has over 15 years of software development experience, and has founded numerous other companies. Christian comes to Bloc from Pinchit and TAG where he was a developer. Prior to that, Christian was also a graphic designer. In our experience, beginners are often overwhelmed by buzz words like "HTML5," "JavaScript," and "Ruby." Without an experienced guide, they can spend months going down rabbit-holes drilling into specific languages, and emerge frustrated that they can't build a real website. Dave will start by helping you visualize the front end web development landscape. Comparing Angular, Ember, Backbone, and React 2 Once you understand the landscape, Dave will introduce the four major front end frameworks that have emerged over the past two years. He'll discuss the pros and cons of learning each one, from the point of view of a beginner. These four frameworks are: AngularJS, EmberJS, BackboneJS, and ReactJS.

The document provides advice and encouragement for someone starting out with JavaScript development. It discusses how JavaScript can be used in many environments like browsers, apps, and servers. It recommends resources like MDN and tools like linting to help avoid mistakes. It emphasizes that this is an exciting time for JavaScript and advises setting priorities and standards, being involved in the community, and bringing new voices and perspectives.

This document outlines techniques for debugging and investigating software issues like a code forensics expert. It recommends avoiding panicking and doing multiple things at once. Follow a scientific process by writing down facts, having theories, and getting a debugging partner. Use tools like observability, debug tricks, and Linux tools. Analyze code changes and previous working versions. Document investigations through post-mortems, root cause analyses, and retrospectives to prevent future issues.

The document provides five ways for JavaScript developers to be happier: 1) Concentrate on the present and focus on creating rather than worrying about the past or future. 2) Limit distractions by streamlining your development environment and using an editor like VS Code that consolidates features. 3) Make mistakes less likely by using linters to catch errors as you code. 4) Get to know your tools better like debuggers to avoid console.log and gain insights to build better solutions. 5) Give back to others in the community by being helpful rather than causing drama.

This document discusses how the Authoring Tool Accessibility Guidelines (ATAG) and Drupal 8 aim to make it easier to create accessible content. ATAG provides guidelines for making content authoring tools accessible, while Drupal 8 seeks to incorporate these guidelines and support authors in producing accessible content. The document outlines several areas both are working to address, such as ensuring editing interfaces are operable and understandable for authors, automatically processing content for accessibility, and providing tools to assist authors in checking and repairing existing content to make it more accessible. The overall goal is to work together to simplify the process of creating accessible digital content for all.

Diego Pacheco is a software architect, agile coach, and speaker who focuses on non-traditional approaches. Some of his views include that requirements can change and duplication is okay, tests don't always improve design or find bugs, and complexity sometimes needs abstractions but other times they add unnecessary complexity. He also believes teams will always have technical debt so it's important to prioritize fixing quick wins over deep technical issues, and that architecture is about people and enabling teams.

Keynote at halfstackconf 2017 discussing the falsehood of the idea that in order to survive the automation evolution everybody needs to learn how to code. Machines can code, too.

Chimp is an online fundraising platform that allows individuals and charities to raise money. It uses a feature lifecycle process that includes problem solving through customer interviews and data analysis, designing solutions, and development. Developers are involved throughout the process to help specify problems, design solutions, and implement features. The goal is for developers to understand the problems being solved so they can make better decisions with less documentation.

Chris Heilmann gave a talk at BTConf in Munich in January 2018 about machine learning, automation worries, and coding. He discussed how coding used to refer to creative programming within technical limitations but now often refers to programming for work. He addressed common worries about new technologies and dependencies, and argued that abstractions are not inherently bad and help more people build products together through consensus. The talk focused on using tools to be more productive and enabling rather than seeing them as dangers, and creating solutions for users rather than fighting old approaches.

Chris Heilmann gave a presentation about building a better web using open technologies like HTML5. He discussed new HTML5 features such as geolocation, local storage, SVG, Canvas, and video/audio. He provided many examples and resources for learning about and using these new technologies. He encouraged attendees to jump in and use the full capabilities of HTML5 to create the best user experiences and attract talent, while acknowledging there will still be challenges to overcome.

See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_uDzXmbiUIg for German-language talk to these slides. What is the role of GitOps in IT strategy? This talk gives an overview and puts GitOps into the context of current challenges in IT strategy. Main aspects are continuous delivery, policy as code, automated governance, compliant-by-default work environments, acceptable means of compliance and a comprehensive automation of all development and operations related processes with the goal of true hands-off operations. The result places GitOps as a major building block of any modern IT strategy. GitOps helps building essential key IT capabilities. It creates the motivation to truly “fix the basics” via sustainable solutions to enable creating higher level automation solutions. With GitOps engineers can focus much more on business value and spend less effort on boring IT topics.

This document provides a brief guide to IT project management. It summarizes several studies that found a significant number of IT projects fail due to a lack of proper planning and management. The document outlines best practices for successfully managing an IT project, including having a clear target and timeline, a structured plan, communication with stakeholders, and allowing time for testing.

My talk from the IRDG Design Thinking Conference 2018: These days design thinking is in high demand with top leadership. But often it’s just the outcomes — the innovation — management wants, less so the organizational change that comes attached with a comprehensive methodology and mindset. Why? The former is ‘sexy’ and brings money, the latter is annoying and might need investment at the outset. So, for many innovators and intrapreneurs the question is: how can we establish a design thinking practice sustainably, even with just ‘lip-service leadership support’? Jan’s talk will look into that topic by showcasing a range of inspiring examples of deliberate and subversive (culture hack) innovation capability building.

Designing for the web is complicated. Endless screen sizes, high user expectations, and usability challenges offer up some interesting if not impossible challenges for web designers, especially when wrestling with complex functionality delivered by Drupal. Join this detailed discussion on web design and designing Drupal 8 websites. Where to start? So often the creative process begins with a blank page. Does the approach to design change when working with Drupal? Drupal is not a blank slate. As designers and themers, we have to consider structures inherent in all Drupal sites like regions, blocks, displays and views. We’ll look at specific structures found in every Drupal 8 site and discuss approaches to design that leverage the output that Drupal provides. With a rich medium like Drupal to work with processes have to change. We’ll explore how the design process fits into the development process. How we can make the design process more agile and how can we incorporate design into a project. We’ll discuss the difference between theming and design and their role in building out a new Drupal 8 site. Then we’ll talk about managing all this and how the design process fits into a large development project. What are the responsibilities of the designer? What are their deliverables? We’ll propose a standard list of design deliverables and touch upon style guides, wireframes and mood boards. Since creativity is all about invention and inspiration we’ll explore the cutting edge of web design and how future releases of Drupal 8 might shift the way we design websites and how we interact with them.

This document provides an agenda for a workshop on building your own website with HTML and CSS. The workshop will cover key concepts of HTML and CSS, reviewing starter code, building a site with support, and next steps for continuing to learn. It will be led by instructor Tanner Gill and TA Jasmine Kim from Thinkful, which helps people become developers through mentorship and project-based learning.

The document discusses concerns about the perception and realities of coding careers. It expresses worry that coding is seen solely as a way to get a job rather than as a means of problem-solving. While coding can provide fulfilling work, the document cautions that the need for coders may decrease with automation and that the role may evolve from coding to engineering. It suggests a future where machines assist with repetitive coding tasks and people focus on delivering maintainable, secure products with attention to privacy and user experience.

I love making stuff. I'm so happy that my job allows me to make stuff, and when I'm not at work, I'm making stuff anyway. Some of the stuff I've made has solved real technical and business problems; some of it I've done just to see if I can. In this talk I'll describe some of the valuable things I've built for my employer, IBM, and our clients - I'll also describe some of the ridiculous things I've made for myself.  These are slides for a talk given at BuildStuff Odessa, 2016 (http://www.buildstuff.com.ua/odessa/)

My presentation covering several ways how you can use nowaday's free web offers to save money and time for your company and thus securing your job.

Dans cette présentation, Chris Heilmann nous parlera des problèmes liés à l'adoption de standards du web récents, et décrira des façons de contourner ces difficultés. Un exemple simple est le manque de prise en charge native de l'audio et de la vidéo, et les problèmes des implémentations actuelles. La session illustrera concrètement comment régler des problèmes a priori sans solution en les attaquant sous un autre angle. Il s'agit essentiellement de trouver une façon pragmatique de vendre, implémenter et utiliser les standards plutôt que d'attendre que le marché adopte des technologies dont l'utilisation devrait être d'une évidence complète.

Our industry has a problem: We are not lacking software methodologies, programming languages, tools or frameworks but we need great software engineers. Great software engineer teams build quality-in and deliver great software on a regular basis. The technical excellence of those engineers will help you escape the "Waterfall sandwich" and make your organization a little more agile, from the inception of an idea till they go live. I will talk about my experiences from the last 15 years, including small software delivery teams until big financial institutions. Why would a company like to be "agile"? How can a company achieve that? How can you achieve Technical Excellence in your software teams? What developer skills are more important than languages, methods or frameworks? This will be an interactive session with a Q&A at the end.

The term DevOps has crossover over from a culture movement around improved IT delivery to a buzzword co-opted by headline minded journalists and companies who want to reinvent their antiquated practices by acquiring new talent. This presentation will talk about DevOps the movement, desired outcomes from DevOps practices and how to bring those practices to your organization especially those with entrenched practices that lack the agility, automation and other benefits of DevOps.

- The document discusses why the Scrum framework for agile product development can be problematic. At the product level, issues include not knowing the final product, delivery timeline, or costs. Organizationally, Scrum is meant to transform organizations, not just deliver products, requiring constant change and skilled, motivated people. This leads to loss of headcount and power within organizations. - The document proposes using an "Agile Equator" to balance the needs of agile development practices with more traditional waterfall methods through constant information sharing. This helps fulfill requirements on both sides of the "equator". - In summary, while Scrum aims to be more agile, it can create uncertainty at the product level and require significant

This document discusses privilege in the context of social media and the internet. It acknowledges privileges like internet access, the ability to communicate, and supportive online communities. It warns that machine learning and algorithms risk creating echo chambers and guided messaging if they are not kept in check by human curation. The document advocates taking back the web for decent, thinking and loving humans and using privileges to help others gain access to learning, communication, and communities.

This document discusses artificial intelligence and how it can help humans. It covers that AI is not new, having originated in the 1950s, and is now more advanced due to increased computing power. It also discusses how AI utilizes pattern recognition and machine learning. The document then covers several applications of AI including computer vision, natural language processing, sentiment analysis, speech recognition/conversion and moderation. It notes both the benefits of AI in automating tasks and preventing errors, as well as the responsibilities of ensuring transparency and allowing people to opt-in to algorithms.
