Philly ETE 2020 – David Dylan Thomas – Design for Cognitive Bias: Using Mental Shortcuts for Good instead of Evil

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract Users’ minds take shortcuts to get through the day. Usually they’re harmless. Even helpful. But what happens when they’re not? In this talk I’ll use real-world examples to identify some particularly nasty biases that frequently lead users to make bad decisions. I’ll then talk about some content strategy and design choices we can use in our apps, designs, and platforms to redirect…

Philly ETE 2020 – Daniel Steinberg – SwiftUI and Combine Changes Everything

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract The way you architect and write your iOS and macOS apps is about to change completely. The future of development on Apple platforms is SwiftUI and Combine. You will have to rethink everything from the way you layout your GUI to the way you handle data flow to the way you respond to asynchronous events. This session will highlight and illustrate the…

Philly ETE 2020 Keynote – Adina Halter – Humanizing Technology: What Accessible Design Offers Us

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract This talk will begin with opening remarks by Mark Shvets, Software Engineer at Chariot Solutions. Accessible design is about inclusivity. We know that. We know it’s the right thing to do. We want to be inclusive. But the consideration seems daunting and we put it off. It becomes a feature to bolt on later, much later. But what if accessible design has…

Philly ETE 2020 – Dan Pilone – Looking over the edge: Bridging the gaps between geospatial data, cloud computing, and local disaster response organizations

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract In this talk we look at the challenges of making geospatial data accessible and rapidly consumable in disaster response scenarios. The wide variety and large volume of commercial and public data available in AWS coupled with scalable edge computing and communication devices allows for unprecedented data access, delivery and integration with in-situ data collection. We’ll discuss user interface challenges, the “15 minute”…

Philly ETE 2020 – Chris Baglieri – Understanding Parkinsons Disease Through Data Science

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, degenerative neurological disorder that affects as many as one in a 100 people over the age of 60. It is estimated that more than 8 million individuals have PD worldwide, and the number is growing with today’s aging population. Despite immense investment and research, we don’t fully understand the underlying mechanisms of this disease. Why is…

Philly ETE 2020 – Brian LeRoux – Less, but better, serverless with OpenJS Architect

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract OpenJS Architect is the fastest and simplest framework for rapidly building web applications with modern serverless primitives. Architect implements a high level infrastructure manifest file that generates standard AWS CloudFormation for deployment. Instead of wasting frustrating days and weeks navigating the Byzantine AWS console and docs for configuration golf you can have an app running locally in seconds and deployed live mere…

Philly ETE 2020 – Austin Rochford – Open Source Bayesian Inference In Python With PyMC3

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract In the last ten years, there have been a number of advancements in the study of Hamiltonian Monte Carlo algorithms that have enabled effective Bayesian statistical computation for much more complicated models than were previously feasible. These algorithmic advancements have been accompanied by a number of open source probabilistic programming packages that make them accessible to programmers and statisticians. PyMC3 is one…

Philly ETE 2020 – Artem Chistyakov – Choosing Your Giants: Principles for Navigating the Landscape of Emerging Tech

Check out our YouTube playlist to watch all the talks from Emerging Technologies for the Enterprise 2020. Abstract Functional or object-oriented, relational or schemaless, on-premises or entirely serverless: for better or worse, technology choices in software development remain mostly ideological. Whether we prefer to “stand on the shoulders of giants”, use “the right tool for the job”, or eschew anything “not invented here”, we must acknowledge the effects of this ideology on our systems, our customers, and our careers. In…

Lunch & Learn: AWS — Things I Learned the Hard Way
