Surviving Crappy Internet / 10:20 - 10:35
Prerequisite attendee experience level: beginner
How does your app behave when a user suddenly goes offline? What happens when a package gets lost? Do you know?
Fact is, you don't have to live in some obscure African country to have less than perfect internet conditions. We all find ourselves offline sometimes. How does your app behave in these circumstances?
This short talk gives web and mobile developers the tools to test and build for less than perfect conditions.

What Developers should Know about Design / 10:40 - 10:55
Prerequisite attendee experience level: beginner
Understanding design in our age is like being able to read in the Middle Ages, it gives you an advantage in communication. No matter how technically advanced your product is, design is what sells it. Unfortunately, not every project has a dedicated designer. Furthermore, to effectively implement graphical designs, it is necessary for a developer to understand why a design is the way it is. In this interview style discussion between a developer and a designer, we would like to discus a few concepts like proportions, composition and color that can help developers understand design and employ these in those moments when no designer is available. This talk gives the developer some practical insights into the world of design.
