It's December, the most magical time of the year! As 2020 draws to its end, I want to thank you all for being with us and this newsletter this year and hope to see you with us when 2021 rolls in with new hope and dreams. This month's newsletter comes from our Stockholm office and is created by Kajsa.
Kajsa is a developer-designer hybrid based in Stockholm. Her main focus is software development with an emphasis on user-centricity aligned with business strategy, or in short UX Development. She’s been a part of Futurice since 2016 working with clients in a variety of areas such as banking, telecom, energy and more. Here she will share some of her latest and greatest sources of inspiration and knowledge related to amazing digital experiences. You can find more about Kajsa here or follow her on Instagram.
We will all need services to be accessible, sooner or later. Seriously, what is a disability; a temporary broken arm, diabetes making your vision go down, Parkinson's etc...So if you're not sure yet, subscribe to t12t’s informative and pleasant newsletter. This specific letter has a very interesting article about accessible placeholders.
No matter your knowledge in accessibility you can go deep or skim through this material. The course is made by the person who created ‘Responsive web design’ in 2010, Ethan Marcotte. Just that :)
Another newsletter to jump in on is the very juicy SVG themed letter Viewbox. In this specific edition they are featuring an accessible animation made from Cassie Evans SVG workshop. I recommend having a look at her gorgeous site cassie.codes as well.
Love-hate-shame-spoof…While being responsible and compassionate about accessibility, there is also a passion for smashingly well designed and full blown amazing experiences. So I can’t resist sharing my excitement about the absolute awesome experience this article delivers. I have no idea of the level of accessibility on this one so click, scroll, read and enjoy with or without success.
Modern software development means building on existing foundations. But with these foundations being so important, how can we be sure that they are correct? Today’s answer to this problem is testing. But this has its own flaws. This is where theorem proving comes into play. We can verify key properties of our system not only for some inputs, but for all possible inputs.
In this talk Jan will start with the basics and show how you can get your feet wet with Isabelle/HOL, a theorem proving assistant developed by the Technical University of Munich. He will also show some more involved examples that are more interesting to prove correct.
A developer’s job at Futurice is always a bit of a mix between software development and consulting. And as a lead developer the focus shifts more towards consulting. Not only do we try to build great software together with our clients, we also try to help them get the most out of our projects.
Whether it's JavaScript frameworks, continuous integration, test automation, CSS, deployment frameworks, mobile apps or NoSQL databases - and you can position yourself in frontend, backend or somewhere in between - as long as building usable digital services is your thing, this one's for you.
