Cloud and Mobile Computing - 2 Tech Trends to Watch (Part I)


The investment world keeps on looking out for good ideas in emerging technology to invest the money to earn higher return. The perspective learned from the institute investors may serve a purpose of helping us gain insight into what technology is hot now. Here is a view shared by Gavin Baker,  the fund manager of Fidelity OTC  Portfolio that invests in just one thing: the future of technology.
In a recent interview, Baker said he is looking at three emerging trends that are helping to shape the way he invests: cloud computing, mobility, and personalized medicine. 

Cloud Computing


Cloud computing is “back to the future.” The first wave of computing focused on the mainframe and minicomputer, which centralized processing power. A second stage was anchored by the PC and client-server architectures—which moved the computing power out to every desk and server closet. Now, plentiful, high-speed bandwidth is ushering in a third era, which marks a return to centralized processing power—the cloud—with the crucial difference being that this centralized processing power is easily accessible to users on a variety of devices ranging from smartphones to PCs. A simple example is the switch from an e-mail program that you store on your computer to one you access over the Web. With cloud-based models, all the software, processing, and storage is handled remotely and the data is available anywhere in the world, at any time, and on any device with Web access.
it offers users lower costs and more convenience. (See the chart to the below.) Essentially, what we’re witnessing is a transformation of computing into a utility. You can open your mobile devices anywhere and access supercomputing power. Companies aren’t buying servers, networking gear, databases, operating systems, or applications directly; instead, they are buying these as services.


Moving to the cloud can potentially save companies money



One cloud segment on the verge of exploding is known as infrastructure as a service, or IAAS. IAAS customers buy raw computing, storage, and networking in one package. Users are provided with an operating system and database, and can write and run their own programs. The software as a service (SAAS) market is growing rapidly as well. Here, companies and other users log on to a Web site to access a specific software program—anytime, anywhere, from any device. Besides, cloud-enabling technologies such as WAN optimization and virtualization that can increase the efficiency of banks of servers working together in a data center or improve the end-user experience by accelerating the effective speed of their connection to the cloud.

Artboard: - To add a new artboard Click in the existing artboard to add another artboard to the right.  In this step, you can see that if there are other artboards to the right of the selected artboard, the new artboard is added to the far right of the other artboards. Or, w ith the Artboard tool selected, click to the left of the existing artboard to add another. - To copy a artboard Option/Alt-dragging an artboard is a great way to make a copy of an artboard and all of its content You can also simply copy and paste artboards. With an existing artboard still selected, press Command+D (macOS) or Ctrl+D (Windows) to create a duplicate that is placed to the right. Changing artboard appearance With the Select tool ( ) selected, click in an artboard to select it. In the Property Inspector on the right, deselect the Fill option. You can turn off the default fill of an artboard, but notice that the artboard outline is still visible. (Note:  You don’t h...

Design System & Component Library

Image
Good practice to set up a component library is to create a separate component page from regular design page to store all newly-created components on that component page. These components  will become local components. So it becomes the component library. On that page, once a component is created, it will be listed on the Assets tab on the right hand panel.  It then can be dragged from Assets tab into any page in the same file.  Publishing component sets to a library is only supported  Professional and Education teams, or Figma Organizations . Click the Team Library button highlighted in blue to publish the component sets to T eam Library , where team member can access to the library. See in this tutorial in which it shows how to create a component on Component page then it can be used in Design page: Figma For Beginners: Create designs (2/4) 16:38 Create a navigation bar

Style Guide exported to Zeplin from Figma

  If the design of Figma frames are based on a style guide and a component library, the style guide and component library will be exported to Zeplin as well when the Figma frames are exported to Zeplin. Check out the  Design Delivery with Zeplin  file for a guided walkthrough, plus tips and tricks to optimize your workflow. https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/745330164019088593/Zeplin
