Customer/User experiences is a major factor on development & delivery of web application with respective to industrial standards. Lighthouse CI is a suite of tools that make continuously running, saving, retrieving, and asserting against lighthouse results as easy as possible. Lighthouse CI helps to throw light to the process and share insights and answers the primary question "What to do to improve my app". Monitoring and keeping web performance during development is a challenge, we can utilize and use Lighthouse-CI in our development workflow and have automated performance tests. This is an open talk(Developers/QAs/DevOps/Performance Engineers... etc) with no background information/knowledge is needed. People who are interested to know that how to improve the web application with the industrial standards and give better experiences to their customers with effective resources.

An inspirational presentation for curious people. We are surrounded by open source and we might not acknowledge it. You as a writer can easily contribute too! I participated in contributing to the Wireshark open source project. I will share how much I’ve improved my writing skills, technical knowledge, and I’ll point out how you can find a project to contribute to and help it grow. Takeaways: what is open source and open source communities; how to join an open source community; how to start contributing to open source with documenting it; sharing my personal experience.a

Coding can be taught line by line but not everyone is comfortable with purely text and logic based explanations of coding. The current status quo is to teach showing lines of code with inputs and outputs however a lot of visual learners aren’t going to easily grasp that. What if there was a way to communicate the code concepts with images? This talk will show how using geometry and modeling can acclimate novices to coding concepts using visual-spatial examples reinforced by coding concepts applicable anywhere.

This presentation is a brief intro into UX/UI and how to identify new career design opportunities for projects.

# Background: Not long ago, I decided I want to share my work and ideas with other people. The problem: it was hard to explain or describe them especially to family who aren't technical. Until I heard of Statecharts. Statecharts is based on finite state machines and Automata but adds extra features that make it fun and easy to describe how your code/logic works. It was a big deal to me because I could sketch a Statecharts graph and describe it to anyone. This gave me the motivation to solve problems I encountered in my day job or side projects and sketch them in a notebook so I could always go back and see how I solved them before or share these with friends and family. And then, I heard about XState and XState visualizer. I could literally implement my sketches into codebase without any effort and with the help of XState visualizer I could let anyone interact with my work and see it working online. That was really fun and I want to share with you some of these sketches and open source projects that you can use. # Agenda: - Intro about this talk - Finite State Machines - Statecharts history - XState & XState visualizer intro - Implementing a Stack: guards, actions and context features in Statecharts - Implementing a input field: history and services features in Statecharts - Implementing a debounce mechanism for input: timing feature in Statecharts - Implementing a text-editor: parallel features in Statecharts - Conclusions **Note**: agenda might be slightly changed in the future.

It’s a common practice for designers to strive to stay at least one sprint ahead of development with their design work. We designers never want to be holding up development teams. At Red Hat, we have spent the last year challenging ourselves to go much further and build an Experience Vision that shows the user experience that we intend to deliver in 3 years. Why would we do such a thing? Building a 3-year Experience Vision has unlocked a number of positives for our design team: 1. It allowed us to avoid getting stuck on technical limitations when brainstorming what we could accomplish. Sure we might not be able to do everything in 3 years, but we could do mostly anything. 2. It has allowed us to build a North Star to build towards and ensure our continuous focus on the end-user. 3. It continues to serve as an excellent way to get new contributors to our portfolio up to speed quickly. 4. Having a plan that looks further out has given us the opportunity to plan our leap past competitors rather than simply catching up to them. In this talk, we will walk through the process we’ve taken to build our 3-year Experience Vision. We will detail out one of the fundamental pieces, Experience Focus Studios, which allows for Open contribution from all Red Hatters. Studios are run as design-thinking workshops allowing the teams to ideate, prototype, and validate ideas that ultimately shape our Experience Vision. We’ll share just how important it is for you to consider building an Experience Vision acting as a North Star that shapes the product that your users need.
