This document summarizes a session from UX Camp London in 2010 on how to get a better job. Jason Mesut and Marcvus Mustafa, who have reviewed thousands of CVs and portfolios and interviewed hundreds of candidates, discussed factors for assessing candidates such as first impressions, skills, salary demands, efficiency, and team/company fit. They noted that getting a job depends on standing out from similar CVs, the use of recruiters, lack of proper trial periods for candidates, being junior or senior, referrals, take-home design challenges, and demonstrating involvement through portfolios rather than just finished products.

- Second Life is described as an "imaginary world built by the users" that exists on servers and is navigated through a special client similar to how the web works.
- Learning in Second Life (called Imaginary World Learning) is probably not equivalent to traditional classroom learning and learners likely don't learn more or less from it compared to classrooms.
- One view is that Second Life learning sits between classrooms and digital/online learning, with navigation using buttons and pedals rather than just buttons.
Forests contain over 60% of the world's biodiversity and provide plants for food and medicine while helping control the planet's climate. About half of the original tropical forests have been destroyed, and without changes, only 20% will remain by 2030. Deforestation has many causes like slash-and-burn farming, development, and logging, and it reduces oxygen levels and food sources while threatening hundreds of thousands of species. We can help save forests by reducing wood and paper consumption and increasing recycling.
Jonathan Waddingham gave a seminar on using blogs to build supporter engagement for charities. He discussed how 66% of UK internet users read blogs and recommended developing a blogging strategy that includes committing to a posting frequency and writing about passionate topics. He also suggested engaging comments by finding supporter evangelists, responding to all comments, and focusing on moderating discussions. Waddingham provided examples of effective charity blog networks and emphasized the importance of online PR done respectfully through learning about bloggers first before pitching them.
The document discusses factors that create a compelling experience for avatar-based innovation within virtual worlds. It identifies that high levels of interactivity, usability, and activities that capitalize on the virtual world's media richness and playfulness are important. Focus groups found that a sense of place, critical mass of users, and opportunities for social interaction were key elements of a compelling place in Second Life.
PhoneGap allows developers to build mobile apps using HTML, CSS and JavaScript instead of platform-specific languages. It uses a webview to contain the app and plugins to access native device functions like the camera. Developers can create their app logic and UI using web standards, package it with PhoneGap, and deploy it across various mobile platforms through an online compiler.
This document provides an introduction to autotools. It discusses the purpose of autotools in making code portable and easy to install. It then describes the relationships between various autotools tools like autoconf, automake, autoreconf. It provides examples of configure.in and Makefile.am files. Key sections are on generating configure scripts from configure.in, generating Makefiles from Makefile.am, and the directory structure and files involved in the build system. Usage of common autoconf macros are demonstrated.
This document discusses various aspects of Android application development including:
- The Android platform architecture which includes the Linux kernel, Android runtime, libraries, and application framework.
- The basic components that make up an Android application including activities, services, broadcast receivers, content providers, and intents.
- How to set up the development environment and build a simple "Hello World" Android app.
- Additional Android concepts like application lifecycles, permissions, and retrieving data from the internet.
