Five Dubai Design Week pavilions translating Arab vernacular through sustainable materials

Dubai Design Week saw architects exploring how local design languages and materials could be used to create more sustainable architecture.
Architects from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Palestine presented experimental pavilions.
The festival, which celebrated its ten-year landmark, features over 1,000 designers from 50 countries.
ReRoot is a temporary shelter made from local palm offcuts and mycelium, which was developed in response to the growing displacement crisis in Gaza.
Enfold pavilion used recycled cardboard cladding and responded to the context of its environment.
Some designers used ancient techniques that have existed for thousands of years, rather than looking to the future for new materials.
The Palestinian architect Dalia Hamati developed ReRoot, providing dignity to design in housing and ensuring that panels could be composted and used as fertilisers.
Emirati architect Abdalla Almulla returned with the Stoot pavilion that showcased the possibilities of a novel concrete binder made from construction waste.
The pavilion of Iwan re-imagines vaulted halls found in Islamic architecture using only folded aluminium sheets.
The Ahwari reed house was reconstructed by architect Ola Saad Znad, which aims to raise awareness of the Ahwari craftsmanship and culture along with their sustainable building techniques.

Attitudinal research 101: methods and examples

Attitudinal research offers insight into customers’ beliefs and feelings, enriching product and marketing strategies.
It helps tailor marketing efforts by understanding what motivates users’ decisions and preferences.
Tracking shifts in user attitudes over time keeps businesses agile and customer-focused.
Attitudinal research is a type of market research conducted to understand what people feel about an idea, product or service.
There are often two ways to conduct UX research: attitudinal vs. behavioral research.
The most common attitudinal research methods are user interviews, surveys, focus groups, experience sampling, ethnographic studies, and sentiment analysis.
Attitudinal research provides valuable insights into user preferences by revealing what customers think, feel, and want about a product or service.
Attitudinal research is limited by biases in UX research, limited predictive power, and outdated insights.
Examples of attitudinal research include understanding brand perception in the fashion industry, developing products for a tech startup using feedback, and sentiment analysis for improving customer service in an airline.
Combining attitudinal and behavioral insights allows for better-informed decisions in product development, marketing, and customer engagement.

Systems are everywhere, from websites and businesses to entire cities and economies.
Thinking in systems helps us understand system parts, structure, and behavior to design for a more sustainable and efficient world.
"A system is a set of things — people, cells, molecules, or whatever — interconnected in such a way that they produce their own pattern of behavior over time." — Donella H. Meadows.

5 Real-World Examples of Great API Error Messages

APIs and their error responses should be understandable by humans as well as machine-readable, which means they should be self-descriptive as defined by Roy Fielding.
Stripe API’s error message tells you what went wrong and also tells you how to fix it making it helpful and detailed.
Merge API's API error message is helpful for debugging and logging as well, it allows a user to check and see if a particular resource was unavailable at a specific time.
Instagram's in-depth API error messages are easily understandable and detailed, which makes it helpful for the API's 2 billion monthly active users.
Salesforce API has 14 unique 4xx error messages and three 5xx messages, which lets users know exactly what's going wrong.
Reltio API is a suite of tools for integrating data into one platform, and each connector features its own error codes, giving solutions in case of errors.
API error messages are one of the best manifestations of APIs’ potential in the first place, preventing users from having to consult the API documentation.
API error messages are one of the fastest, simplest, and least expensive ways to boost developer experience and end customer experience.
It is important for API developers to keep API security best practices in mind when crafting API error messages, as sensitive information can result in unauthorized users gaining access to a network.
The right balance of information and security makes for a better experience for everyone involved with an API.

5 Myths about Teaching Kids to Code

Introducing coding to the next generation has evolved into a booming industry, but the best approach to teaching coding isn’t always clear.
Programming doesn’t have to begin on a computer, kids can start learning at an early age by exploring their surroundings and creating new things.
Using tools designed for children can help them learn logic, commanding and syntax gradually without losing interest.
Age is only a number when it comes to teaching someone to code. There is no standard starting age for children, but those younger than elementary age might face difficulties.
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to choosing a programming language to start with.
Programming is an area that usually involves lifelong learning, so it's best for kids to learn logic and fundamental concepts shared across languages. Also, digital literacy will be essential for everyone.
In the future, digital literacy skills will be essential, however, coding proficiency won't be required for all professions outside of the technology field.
