5 Open Ways To Help UX Designers And Developers Collaborate Better

Designing with open decisions can help increase collaboration between user experience and dev teams. Ideally, designers have a good relationship with their product team and users. However, the relationship between designers and developers is more difficult to build and maintain. The lack of a close relationship makes it difficult to solve problems or improve. In my experience, the open source Open Decision Framework can overcome many of these obstacles. The Open Decision Framework asserts that open decision-making is transparent, inclusive, and customer-centric. It involves clearly sharing problems, requirements, and constraints with affected parties. It enables collaboration with multiple stakeholders to secure diverse opinions and comprehensive…

No single vendor solution exists today to attain conditional access from edge to cloud. Intel with CrowdStrike and Zscaler demonstrate how multiple vendors working together can help solve information technology (IT) challenges to implement a comprehensive zero trust strategy. Cybersecurity standards organizations, such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), have published guidance on zero…

Pythonic Techniques For Handling Sequences

Sequences and Collections are an integral part of any programming language. Python particularly handles them uniformly, i.e. any type of sequence from Strings and XML elements to arrays, lists, and Tuples are handled in a uniform way. Understanding the variety of these sequences will spare us the reinvention of the wheel as the existing common sequence interface allows us to leverage and support any new sequence types. The built-in sequences and how to group them There are 2 types of sequences: A container sequence holds references to the objects it contains, which may be of any type, while a flat sequence stores…
