Bentobox model for understanding technology stacksLinda Liukas
油
The document discusses the "Bentobox method" for understanding web applications. It explains that a balanced mix of components is needed, similar to how food is arranged in a Japanese bento box lunch. The bento box is used as a metaphor for how different programming languages, frameworks, databases, and infrastructure are arranged like a puzzle to build functional web applications. Examples are given of how companies like Etsy, Foursquare, and others combine languages like PHP, Ruby, and Scala with frameworks like Rails, Django, and Lift along with databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB.

What tools do people use to put together great training and eLearning?
11 presenters discussed 14 tools that they use to plan, design and build great training - face-to-face, blended and eLearning. They steered clear of the 'usual suspects' and introduced people to some niche tools they may not have come across before.
David Swaddle capped the evening off by quickly explaining additional tools that Sydney based learning professionals were relatively unaware of.
If you want to find some new tools to spice up your training, then take 10 minutes to have a look. Even better, join the MeetUp group (if you're in Sydney) and join us in person.

Lets discuss Standby Letter of Credit vs Bank Guarantee, which is a common confusion in the minds of many. A standby letter of credit and a bank guarantee are actually very similar products. As a matter of fact, if we go back and look at the origination of the standby letter of credit, we may be able to understand the similarity better.
Under the Glass-Steagall Act, passed by the US Congress in 1933, banks were not allowed to participate in investment banking activities. Consequently, they couldnt issue a bank guarantee as well. As this was a lucrative business, they got around this act by forming their letters of credit as bank guarantees. They called this new product the standby letter of credit. From this, we can infer that the standby letter of credit is actually a hybrid version of a bank guarantee.

How can TWINT be agile in an inert ecosystem?BATbern
油
The Swiss banking Ecosystem works as a trustworthy and reliable basis for personal and business-related financial transactions. A fintech in this field is dealing with large and globally active players who cant (and likely shouldnt) adapt as fast and as agile as the fintech can, and must, to secure its position in the market. In this presentation I will elaborate in which ways TWINT strives for agility and innovation in an otherwise slow-moving and slowly innovating ecosystem.

You can influence the design
Its fun to figure out how to do something new
and make it work! Problem solving skills!
Its acceptable to listen to music with
headphones on and drink lots of coffee
Necessary skills nowadays in design, you
should at least understand basics and
possibilities of coding
12. Survival skills needed
as a designer
Ruby on rails / textedit / Dreamweaver etc.
- any coding program
Html(5)/CSS(3) knowledge and anything on
top of that is a plus
Some Sisu, enthusiasm and Google search
13. Thanks and have fun coding!
