Live Event - Innovation Toolbox: Techniques for Modern Challenges

In this Second edition of Expert Talks Goa, we are back with two exciting talks for the day and here is a quick preview:

Talk One: JavaScript free SPAs with Rails and Hotwire.

Speaker: Uttam Kini

JavaScript based single page apps are the default answer if you want a web app with a slick user experience. Right?

Wrong. Web development has come full circle back to server rendered html with sprinkles of JavaScript.

Ruby on Rails has been around since 2005 and now has great options for building immersive frontend apps without being a single page application.

Join us to find out how you can give an SPA experience with minimal JavaScript with Rails and Hotwire.

What are we going to do?

• We will be live coding a simple app using Rails and Hotwire.

• We will also compare this approach with traditional SPAs and when to choose it.

What's in it for you?

• If you are a Front-end dev who uses SPA libraries like React and Vue, this talk will teach you an alternate way of looking at front-end development.

• If you are a Rails developer who has not tried the new features of Rails, this will be useful to you too.

• Even if you are an aspiring web dev, this talk may inspire you take up Ruby on Rails

Talk Two: Thinking Inversely: Unlocking Creativity with the Reverse Brainstorming Technique

Speaker: Rahul Kolekar

Reverse brainstorming, sometimes called “negative brainstorming,” is a process that turns typical brainstorming upside down.

Instead of asking everyone to come up with great ideas for improving a process or achieving a goal, you ask them to instead brainstorm ways to absolutely undermine a process or make a goal impossible to achieve. You let all those pent-up negative thoughts bubble to the surface. This provides the group with useful information about what isn’t working. Once you know what isn’t working, of course, you have the tools you need to plan for success.

What are we going to do?

• Understanding what is reverse brainstorming

• When to use it

• How to run it with some real examples & workshop

Takeaways for Audience.

• Learn and use reverse brainstorming with Immediate application within your teams

• Good way of gathering ideas when ideas are short

• Great way of getting ideas for your products OKR’s
