Palo Alto USA 2006-08-09 With the advent of Ajax, new patterns of interaction have emerged on the web. These patterns inform not just the design & engineering process but also form the vocabulary for the creation of new product features. In this talk, Bill will give you insight in how to best take advantage of the power of Ajax technology for product design through a series of best practices from across the Web. Each best practice is illustrated with lots of real world examples from both inside and outside of Yahoo! The nuances of each approach is discussed in detail with illustrating examples and counter-examples. Bill Scott is Ajax Evangelist and Design Pattern Curator at Yahoo! where he spreads the goodness of ³rich and sane² Ajax design. Bill co-founded Rico (­openrico.org., and for 20 years Bill has designed and created interfaces. His musings can be found at http://looksgoodworkswell.com. Schedule 7:30 pm Location PARC's George E.

In the first half of the day Peter Merholz and Maggie Fox address the topic of Web 2.0 as a social media. They will cover the business rational for Web 2.0 development and provide motivation for development in this area. Many case studies will be reviewed. In the second half of the day Mike Atyeo addresses more detailed issues such as designing and testing Web 2.0 applications, particularly highly interactive AJAX applications. The important issue of accessibility will be addressed by Derek Featherstone, an expert in this particular field. The more structured part of the workshop will finish with a panel of our presenters. This will be an opportunity for participants to ask any final questions and for presenters to deliver key take-home messages. Following the panel session, attendees who are interested will then participate in an informal "unconference". This will be an opportunity for attendees to talk some more with the presenters and with each other and unwind. The aim is for all attendees to leave the day with a clearer idea of how social media can benefit their organizations and to know how to make their great ideas become a reality. 182 Canada Web 2.0 is impacting all areas of our interaction from the details of using AJAX widgets, to collective decision-making and organization, privacy, and, especially social networking. 2007-04-13 false http://capchi.org/workshop http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/182 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/182/logo_thehumanweb_sm.gif ajax, canada, chi, derek featherstone, maggie fox, mike atyeo, ottawa, peter merholz, unconference, usability, web 20, workshop New York USA 2007-09-06 Are you currently building web-based applications? Are you tasked with adding more interactivity to your web apps? Do you want to learn interaction design skills geared towards adding interactivity and richness to your web-based solutions? Information spaces on the Web are becoming increasingly filled with complex interactions. Even simple transactional solutions like shopping carts and document management systems are becoming more complex with richer desktop-like interaction models. Today’s web designers and information architects need access to disciplines like interaction design and software design to create powerful and successful web applications. For example: * The developers at a major financial institution are working on a mission-critical application that will be rolled out to more than 6,000 financial consultants, but they have no idea whether a Rich Internet Application (RIA) is the right solution. And if an RIA is the right choice, they’re unsure of what technology to use. * The development team for a hotel reservation system would like to migrate their simple application to an RIA solution. Where should the developers start? How do they avoid making the same mistakes that other developers have already made? To help designers solve these types of problems, expert web application designer David Malouf has created a seminar exploring some of the most important issues surrounding the web’s most sophisticated applications. In this information-packed seminar he will give you a solid introduction to RIAs and demonstrate the value RIAs can add to your web application.
