Event - Kundenfrühstück bei TechTalk

Hi,

today in german:

Kundenfrühstück bei TechTalk am 23.4.2009 um 9:00 zum Thema:

"Usability meets Development"
Wie schafft man es den Spagat zwischen Development und Usability optimal zu spannen?
Erfahren Sie auch, wie die Qualität/Userexperience von Applikationen für den Endanwender durch die Zusammenarbeit von Programmierung und Design verbessert werden kann.

Ich würde mich freuen wenn möglichst viele Interessierte dabei wären.

Br, Claudia

Inspiration needed?

Hi,

today I want to share some interesting links:

And a great website is the "Wall of Deliverables". The idea was born at the IA Summit 2008 in Miami and the aim of the site is to share examples of deliverables.

Have fun, br Claudia

MIX09, Surface & Userability Podcast (again)

Hi,

today I want to recommend to view the following session videos of the MIX09. Of course the Keynote of Bill Buxton (recommended by michbex) and i was really fascinated by SketchFlow (presented by Christian Schorman - our judge @ Imagine Cup 08) and I'm looking forward to try it out. SketchFlow is currently not included in the Blend3 Preview. This is a screenshot of the SketchFlowPlayer:

Microsoft Surface Stove

A nice april fool by the Silverlight team is the Surface Stove.

20 years, No Improvement?

And one interesting podcast with Scott Berkun is now available at the Userability podcast answering the following question:

Don Norman’s seminal, The Design of Everyday Things, is approaching it’s 20th year in print. It explained why so many basic things in life are poorly designed and hard to use, such as pull handles on doors that need to be pushed. Since the world has been aware of these design flaws for two decades, why are so many basic usability failures still around?

Have fun,

br Claudia
