  • John Blackbourn: An Explanation of HTTPS for the Inexperienced

    WordCamp Milano 2017Speaker: John Blackbourn

    October 11, 2019 — What is HTTPS? Why should I care?

    If you’re an end user, a developer, a business person, or indeed anybody who uses the Internet, this talk will introduce you to HTTPS from the very basics such as how computers communicate over the Internet, to how it affects your business, your clients, and your personal life.

    This is a technical explanation that will suit anyone from the non-technical to experienced developers.

  • Francesca Marano: L’abc del sito del freelance

    WordCamp Milano 2017Speaker: Francesca Marano

    October 11, 2019 — Dieci anni fa quando si iniziava un’attività la prima spesa erano i biglietti da visita. Oggi si pensa prima al sito. Spesso i freelance creano un sito senza un piano e un obiettivo chiari. È vero che WordPress rende relativamente facile la creazione di un sito, ma sarebbe meglio farsi alcune domande prima di imbarcarsi in questa impresa (sì, è epica e no, non c’è bisogno di imparare a scrivere codice).
    Tutti i freelance hanno bisogno di un sito?
    Se si decide di crearne uno, quali pagine dovrebbero assolutamente esserci?
    Quali informazioni sono utili per i lettori? Quali assolutamente inutili?
    E questi lettori poi, chi sono? E come si scrive proprio per loro.
    In questa sessione esplorerò delle domande comuni che i freelance hanno prima di costruire il proprio sito e cercherò di dare delle risposte che aiutino in questa epica impresa.

  • Joe McGill: Semantic content in a block editing world

    WordCamp Europe 2019Speaker: Joe McGill

    October 11, 2019 — The Gutenberg block editor gives us new and exciting possibilities to create visually rich content in WordPress using block-based authoring tools. But what if we don’t know how our content is going to be displayed? Joe will take a look at what happens when we make assumptions about the visual presentation of our content, based on the tools we use to create that content. He will explore the advantages and tradeoffs that come from keeping the structure of your content distinct from the presentation of that content, and look at examples of how we can maintain this separation while providing compelling visual authoring experiences for people using our custom authoring tools.

  • Jenny Beaumont: Doing it wrong

    WordCamp Europe 2019Speaker: Jenny Beaumont

    October 11, 2019 — The Internet was the promise of freedom of information, but it never promised the information would be truthful or objective. What was good for you yesterday, isn’t today. Fail fast, fail early, fail often, but filter the imperfections out of your Instagram. Cultivate your intuition, and fear nothing, but how can you be sure that your intuition isn’t a fight-or-flight response? Since the first time she was told she was ‘doing it wrong’, Jenny has been fascinated by the contradictions of ‘fact’ and ‘truth’ that shape how we view the world. Join her as she explores science, history, medicine, yoga, agile and more; and how these ideas affect us as individuals and as members of a rapidly growing community.

  • Najomie Cournoyer: Comment je me suis lancée & mon processus de branding

    WordCamp Montreal 2019Speaker: Najomie Cournoyer

    October 9, 2019 — On me demande souvent à quoi ressemble ma journée, comment j’ai fait pour être travailleur autonome, ensuite comment j’ai commencé à engager des employés avec aucun bagage de gestion de commerce ou de ventes et avec un “simple” DEP. Dans cette conférence, je présenterai les différentes étapes de mon parcours pour me lancer à mon compte, développer une clientèle fidèle et trippante, comment j’ai augmenter les revenus de l’entreprise en passant par mes bons coups et mes échecs. Je parlerai en plus de ma partie préférée de ma business, le branding et tout mon processus (vente, recherches, moodboard, conception, pitch).

    Mes conférences sont toujours soupoudrée par du développement personnel. Si on ne se connaît pas, si on est pas alignés avec nos valeurs, c’est difficile d’avancer dans la bonne direction et de voir clair.

  • Andrea Zoellner: Effective Copywriting Tips for Better UX

    WordCamp Montreal 2019Speaker: Andrea Zoellner

    October 9, 2019 — When we think about UX, we’re often too focused on fonts, colors, and flow to think about microcopy – those small bits of text that guide users through almost every part of a web interface. These words may be tiny, but they can make a significant difference in the usability of your design and even affect your site’s conversion rates.

    Key takeaways. In this talk, I will share copywriting and communication tips that will immediately improve your user interface microcopy, such as error messages and interface instructions, so your users experience less frustration and more delight.

    Talk attendees will get a quick introduction to branding and communication principles, basic UX principles, and how to evaluate effective copy in website flows. They will also see real examples of before and after situations where simple changes made a big difference and how and where to apply the same changes to their own sites.
