Confusion of goals and perfection
of means seems, in my opinion, to
characterise our age.
Albert Einstein

MANIFESTO#1
we believe in
a fixed set of immutable ideals

over
tailoring our approach to each specific
situation.

MANIFESTO#2
we believe in
concentrating on and discussing only the
things that interest us
over
the bigger problem.

MANIFESTO#3
we believe in
our own opinion
over
the opinions and experiences of others.

MANIFESTO#4
we believe in
arbitrary black-and-white mandates
over
real-world scenarios with complex issues
and delicate resolutions.

MANIFESTO#5
we believe that
when our approach is hard to follow
then
it only shows how much more
important it is.

MANIFESTO#6
we believe in
crafting an arbitrary set of commandments
over
the realisation that it’s just never
that simple.

MANIFESTO#7
we believe in
trying to establish a movement to promote
our view
over
something that will be genuinely useful.

MANIFESTO#8
we believe that
we are better developers than those who
don’t agree with us
because
they don’t agree with us.

MANIFESTO
that is,
we believe we’re doing the right thing.
And if you don’t, you’re wrong.
And if you don’t do what we do, you’re doing
it wrong.

Hootsuite's Manifesto: Building a Social Revolution

Hootsuite

Ever wondered what makes some practitioners truly great? Is there something in how they are wired that sets them apart and amplifies their contributions on products, projects, and within organizations? Our presenters will explore how recent advances in brain science and empathic competency may offer practice owners and businesses measurable ways to hire and cultivate individuals who can make a true difference in the success of their products and teams. The two will share findings from their 2015 survey of more than 500 practitioners throughout Europe, Canada and the United States on the importance of empathy in designing informational environments. Join our presenters and hear how a conversation about hiring for fit, the role of certifications, and predicting team success resulted in a journey to understand what really makes us tick. (Participant count will be updated after research fields to reflect actual participant numbers and respondent geographies).

More from Pete Goodliffe

Keynote from ACCU 2015 conference (http://accu.org/index.php/conferences/accu_conference_2015) @petegoodliffe www.goodliffe.net Synopsis: You've come this conference to improve your skills. You're here to learn: to learn new technologies, to learn new techniques, and to fuel your passion by meeting like-minded people. Becoming a better programmer means more than just learning new technologies. It means more than practising techniques and idioms. It's about more than passion and attitude. It's the combination of all these things. That's what this session will look at. Pete Goodliffe, author of the new book Becoming a Better Programmer, unpacks important mindsets and techniques that will help you improve as a programmer. You'll discover specific tools that will help you review your current skillset, and you'll learn techniques to help you “become a better programmer”.

Becoming a Better Programmer

Pete Goodliffe

A presentation given at ACCU 2014. As software developers we do not just write code. We write many, many words too. We write documentation, comments, manuals, specifications, technical articles, wiki documentation, and more. Maybe even magazine articles and books. This talk discusses some practicalities of writing well, both stylistically and practically. We'll talk about prose, but also about the right "geek" way of writing, the storage formats, toolchains, and the storage of our words. We'll cover: - writing style - what's appropriate: what to write what not to write - keeping track: "source control" for words - toolchains: what toolsets to use to write and prepare output - markup languages vs "wysiwyg" tools - sharing your words with non-geeks At the end of this talk, you'll have a good idea how to put together an example "document toolchain" taking source-controlled words in a humane markup style, and creating high-quality HTML, PDF (fully styled, print-ready) ePub and Kindle output, as well as Word-friendly versions.

iOS is a great platform to work on, and many developers have spend some time looking at the platform. This talk is aimed at programmers with prior iOS experience who want to get into iOS in more depth. This presentation will take you from a basic level of understanding of iOS to look at advanced topics that will make you apps more polished, better designed and, ideally, more successful. Abstract concepts are no use, so in this talk we'll take some existing successful commercial iOS applications as a case study, and see how a selection of iOS technologies and techniques combine within it. On the way, we'll see: * How to use Objective-C language facilities to their best advantage * How to exploit key iOS technologies to save you time and effort * iOS development idioms that will improve the quality of your code * Creating "universal" iPhone/iPad/retina applications without going mad * Successful deployment and testing strategies

The presentation given at the ACCU 2009 conference. Synopsis... Legacy code. You can't live with it. You can't live without it. Well, you can't avoid it, at least. Spend long enough in the software factory, and you'll inevitably run into other people's old code. And of course, none of this old stuff is any good. It's nothing like the high quality software you craft. Pure tripe. Let's be honest, sometimes you might even stumble across some of *your own* old code, and embarrassing as it is, you have to admit that you don't know how it works, let alone how to fix it. This presentation will look at practical strategies for working with "old" crufty code. We'll see how to: start working with a completely unfamiliar codebase understand old spaghetti programming make correct modifications prevent bad code from causing more pain in the future

Data Cloud, More than a CDP by Matt Robison

Anna Loughnan Colquhoun

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

With more memory available, system performance of three Dell devices increased, which can translate to a better user experience Conclusion When your system has plenty of RAM to meet your needs, you can efficiently access the applications and data you need to finish projects and to-do lists without sacrificing time and focus. Our test results show that with more memory available, three Dell PCs delivered better performance and took less time to complete the Procyon Office Productivity benchmark. These advantages translate to users being able to complete workflows more quickly and multitask more easily. Whether you need the mobility of the Latitude 5440, the creative capabilities of the Precision 3470, or the high performance of the OptiPlex Tower Plus 7010, configuring your system with more RAM can help keep processes running smoothly, enabling you to do more without compromising performance.
