Building iOS, Android, and OS X Applications with RubyMotion
Rajiv Aaron Manglani
|
Jan/20 | Tue | 05:00PM-07:00PM | 4-231 |
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Prereq: Some familiarity with iOS or Ruby development suggested.
RubyMotion is a revolutionary toolchain for iOS, Android and OS X. It lets you quickly develop and test cross-platform native applications for the iPhone, iPad, Mac OS X, and Android devices. RubyMotion apps are written in Ruby and use native platform APIs. Applications are compiled, run at full speed on iOS, Mac, and Android hardware, and can be submitted to the app stores for each platform. RubyMotion runs on OS X and is a commercial product. Come to the class then decide if it is the right technology to use for your next application. We will explore the history of the project, tour the framework, and build a functioning app.
If you plan on attending, please RSVP to sipb-iap-rubymotion@mit.edu.

Coolfarming - How to Create Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs)
Peter Gloor
Enrollment: Limited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/12
Limited to 20 participants
Attendance: Participants welcome at individual sessions
This course consists of three parts, part I is the foundation for parts II and III, parts can be taken separately.
Day 1: I. Swarmcreativity - Introduction to Collaboration Science
Part I teaches the the basics of Swarmcreativity, the foundation of Collaborative Innovation Networks, and introduces the dynamic semantic social network analysis tool Condor.
Day 2: II. Coolhunting
Part II teaches how to apply dynamic semantic social network analysis and Condor to discover and predict emergent trends on the Web by mining Twitter, Blogs, Facebook, Wikipedia and the Web. Coolhunting means finding new trends by finding the trendsetters before anybody else, by tapping into the collective intelligence on the Web, and interpreting it through dynamic semantic social network analysis.
Day 3: III. Virtual Mirroring & Coolfarming
Part III shows how you can develop new trends through self-organizing teams (Coolfarming) by nurturing COINs (Collaborative Innovation Networks). It will also introduce "virtual mirroring", measuring six communication variables we have identified over the last 12 years to improve communication by continuously tracking and mirroring back individual, group and organizational interaction patterns.
This is a condensed version of a distributed course, which has been taught for the last 10 years at MIT, Aalto/Helsinki, U. Cologne, SCAD, IIT. (http://sites.google.com/site/coincourse2014/)

Jan/14 | Wed | 02:00PM-05:00PM | 4-231, bring your laptop |
The first part introduces the basics of Collaborative Innovation Networks (COINs) - cyberteams of intrinsically motivated people who work together over the Internet to turn a crazy idea into a disruptive innovation that changes the world. It also introduces the basics of our dynamic semantic social network analysis tool Condor.

Jan/15 | Thu | 02:00PM-05:00PM | 4-231, bring your laptop |
The second part introduces Coolhunting, finding cool trends by finding the trendsetters. Using Condor, we automatically analyze Twitter, Blogs, Wikipedia, and Facebook to find the attributes of a trend, the most influential people talking about it, and measure its impact. We also look at what to do to promote these trends through viral marketing on the Web

Jan/16 | Fri | 02:00PM-05:00PM | NE25-746, bring your laptop |
Coolfarming - virtual mirroring
In the final part we look at organizational and team-level networks by analyzing e-mail archives. Through five inter-personal interaction variables of honest communication: 'strong leadership', 'rotating leaders', 'balanced contribution', 'fast response', and 'honest sentiment' that Condor automatically identifies, we measure and optimze creative teams.

Prereq: None, open to all.
The visual presentation of data is an essential skill in both academia and industry. While the fundamentals of data visualization have remained relatively stable, the tools and techniques in use today have changed greatly, allowing people to create interactive visualizations more quickly (for better and worse!).
This 2.5 hour session (1 hour discussion, 1.5 hour hands-on)--geared towards beginners and people with basic knowledge of data visualization--aims to help you create better data visualizations faster by explaining the fundamental principles behind good design, while providing you with hands-on experience using industry-standard tools. We aim to answer some of the when’s, why’s, and how’s of data vis, pulling insights from graphic design to cognitive science, as well as our experience at various data-focused startups. Please bring your laptop! (Windows or Mac is preferred due to some of the software we will be running.)
Advance sign-up is not required, but it will be helpful to the presenters. Please sign up at: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1x3GtBRMv5hWcYZXxWz1GKvXjqOMsmcAe5j0gW-22o0A/viewform?usp=send_form.

APIs are everywhere these days, powering your favorite websites and mobile applications. APIs are great for integrating and updating data in a more streamlined way and can be made relatively easily with the right resources. While using an API may seem like a daunting task, it can be as simple as visiting a website.
In this seminar, we'll learn about what APIs are available, both within the MIT community, and in the larger Internet. Techniques for integrating these APIs into your websites or other projects will be discussed, and some sample code will be provided. If time permits, we'll also talk a bit about how you would go about writing your own API to make your data or service available to the larger MIT community.
