The document is a collection of photos and captions posted by Destiny Sharples, a cinematography student. It discusses Sharples' goals of becoming a professional cinematographer through studying fundamentals, creating a productive work space, challenging herself, gaining experience through practice and dedication, and participating in film festivals and contests. The document emphasizes concepts like hard work, exploration, trying new things, and not letting opportunities pass in order to achieve success.

Agile teams invest heavily in automated functional tests. When done well, this investment is paid back with fast feedback enabling teams to release software quickly and often. By structuring tests in the right way, teams can further leverage this investment by using these tests as a platform for exploratory testing that could find issues a regression test suite won't. This talk will cover the process and cost benefits of creating automated tests that can be reused to support exploratory testing. Concepts and practices will be described within the context of a mature agile delivery team. It will provide an overview of current practices for automated functional and exploratory testing within agile teams. The main focus of the talk will be to provide an overview and demonstration of techniques that will allow testers to utilise existing automated functional tests to support exploratory testing. The benefits of this approach such as; reducing the time needed for exploratory testing, increasing exploratory testing coverage, improved repeatability when reproducing bugs and improved robustness of your automated functional regression tests will be reviewed.

This document discusses how quantitative analytics can help drive information architecture (IA) decisions. It provides examples of the types of metrics that can be measured, such as traffic to different sections of a website, and how these metrics can be used to understand user behavior and improve the user experience. Quantitative data is presented as complementing, not replacing, qualitative research methods. The document advocates starting analytics efforts by clearly defining business questions and goals in order to focus measurement efforts and ensure the collected data will provide actionable insights.

The document discusses accessibility 2.0 and the rise of participatory technologies on the web. It notes both good and bad practices that have emerged, and provides some principles for developing accessible technologies. These include embracing the user-controlled revolution by giving audiences more control, recognizing that accessibility is a two-way street that considers all users' unique needs, and separating design concerns to build technologies as originally envisioned for the open web. Both positive and negative examples are presented.

A 5-minute Ignite talk about how the Devops mindset can help to survive in organizational silo's. Short Summary: Often in large companies, everyone with the same profile is pushed into the same department. For example system guys, python guys and helpdesk people. Each with has different team leads and middle management... This is called “The Silo Effect”. This idea probably sounds good on paper but in reality, it is why companies are slow and cost ineffective. For the people inside there is no way to easily bounce ideas off someone with different skills and expertise. The problem with Silo's is that teams can get easily isolated from other teams. This results in a situation where it might become impossible to get help from other teams when problems arise and you are dependent on them. The middle managers are then often dragged into the fray and everyone starts blaming everyone. So in order to fix this, do something technical people often forget to do: stop focusing on solving the technical dilemmas and start communicating. Ask other teams how you can improve your system and realign it with their vision. So my story here is really about how to build bridges between silos. As a developer or ops person, talk about different concerns and visions.Share the responsibility of shipping an application with your systems team. It is about planting seeds that will create cooperation, respect and trust. Seeds that only grow by making compromises. It is about inspiring a change in work ethic, not forcing it. We got there by compromise and lots of strict agreements. Given our technology, we agreed to a deployment process flow and laid down the tracks to follow that path. In our case we created a Jenkins pipeline and since we build as Debian packages, we make it easy for operators to manage. So what do you do when you encounter silos? Don't put energy towards knocking them down. The management structure has been there for ages and will probably never change. Make it your playground, learn to navigate them and uncover shortcuts. Informally discuss with the people in other teams, at the coffee machine for example. In the end, it is about a gradual evolution of improving communication and collaboration, not an immediate revolution. Keep in mind IT is not centered around the systems or the tech we use, it is about the people. Finally... Real silos are often painted in the color of the sky, to make them look transparant. And this is exactly what we should do too with organizational silos. So when life gives you silos, paint them.

I gave a talk at the Art Institute of Washington DC's "Pizza With the Pros" event to a group of Web Design and other media art students. This presentation was geared towards this group of students, ranging from Freshmen to Seniors, with the goal of delivering some tips to help them get ahead in the world of Web Design.

The document provides an overview of key considerations for social media marketing. It emphasizes that an occasional social media post does not constitute a real social media strategy. Rather, businesses need a comprehensive plan that identifies goals, metrics, resources, and a timeline. The document also cautions against seeing social media as a quick path to profits or virality, stressing that meaningful engagement takes time and consistent effort.

This document discusses continuous integration (CI) and ways to implement and extend CI practices. It begins by introducing CI and then covers related topics like thinking like a system administrator, release management, extending CI through system deployment, functional testing, and metrics collection, and scaling CI through build pipelines and optimization. The document provides relevant images and links for each topic and ends by inviting any questions.
