Discussing Design_ The Art of Critique Presentation 1 [PDF]
The ability to think critically about a design and discuss how and why it achieves or falls short at succeeding in it's goals is a critical component in any collaborative environment.

In this talk we'll look at the critique, it's value, and how to incorporate it into a design practice.

Sixty-five engineers at Etsy deploy code more than 30 times a day with continuous deployment. Learn about the tools we've put in place to monitor our infrastructure and application health throughout the day, and how this is a shared effort between our engineering and operations team effort.
In this short talk, I hope to convince you why that is might be a foolish perspective to take and why our future is not one type of computing, but rather a constellation of increasingly diverse increasingly specialized computing devices.

Social media marketing gurus pump catchphrases that have become commonplace.

In this session attendees will be given the most up to date information on effective strategies in Facebook Ads. How to judge a fan's worth, knowing the right time to create multiple pages, segmenting users and then sending the appropriate messages are included in the presentation.

So much of the culture of the web stands in stark contrast to our notions of what it’s like to work with the government, but a lot is quietly changing, and there’s increasingly an opportunity for web 2.0 teams to make a real impact on the $166B government technology market. There's money to be made, but glory as well, as this largest of our public institutions is in desperate need of disruption.

As publishers seek deeper engagement on their own sites vs. solely on social networks, the UX after the content on a page has been viewed has become vital. Typically this is below the fold, an area which used to be dismissed but is now recognized as some of the most valuable, lean-in real estate on the web. Learn from top services that specialize in interactions that happen ‘down there.’

data to do exactly this.
