Everything you need in a status page right out of the box @Statuspage | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Statuspage lets any company create a hosted status page for communicating up-to-the-minute status on the health of their technology services with their internal and external customers. This is not just for technology companies. Traditional media companies like PBS now primarily deliver their content over the Internet: downtime is missed advertising revenue. Universities provide their content to thousands of students online 24/7. Even healthcare companies like Oscar and HealthEquity communicate and engage with their customers almost entirely online.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY IT MATTERS: everything is digital and thus mandates to be monitored properly. There are no excuse today when solutions exists for a few dollars per month that can track your website/ecommerce/systems status and report to all when there is an issue.

API-Security-Checklist - A checklist of the most important security countermeasures when designing, testing, and releasing your API.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

github is a software engineering tool for software version control that has been leveraged for large open source projects. It has also been used to co-edit documents with a high level of version control and large population of authors. I wanted to share this - along with previous posts on software engineering blogs and 2 factor authentication support - as a great example of how digital can help transform the way people work. Unfortunately I find that organizations have yet to become aware of this great tool, maybe because it is a little bit too geeky for non technical employees.

What do you think? Are there more user friendly tools like this?

Lighthouse is a new #essentials in every #web #developer #toolkit | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool for improving the quality of web pages. You can run it against any web page, public or requiring authentication. It has audits for performance, accessibility, progressive web apps, and more.

You can run Lighthouse as a Chrome Extension, from the command line, or as a Node module. You give Lighthouse a URL to audit, it runs a series of audits against the page, and then it generates a report on how well the page did. From there, use the failing audits as indicators on how to improve the page. Each audit has a reference doc explaining why the audit is important, as well as how to fix it.

Farid Mheir's insight:

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT

Digital transformation occurs via the web, more often than not. Google has been giving the web developer community amazing tools, from the pagespeed solutions to the chrome browser developer tools. Now lighthouse is a new solution to help us developers in our quest to build fast and efficient web solutions. Check it out.

How to Make a Free Website in 5 Minutes with Google Sites | WHY IT MATTERS: Digital Transformation | Scoop.it

Building a new website seems like an impossibly hard task, something that'd take a few hours at best and a few weeks or months at worst. You'd never make a new website just to share a couple reports or write about a project you're working on.

You could, however. With the newly redesigned Google Sites—one of Google's best yet least known apps—you can build a full website for free in minutes. Here's how.
