SUMMARY:Interaction Design for Rich Internet Applications
LOCATION:New York, New York, USA
DESCRIPTION:
\nAre you currently building web-based applications? Are you t
 asked with adding more interactivity to your web applications? Do you want 
 to learn interaction design skills geared towards adding interactivity and 
 richness to your web-based solutions?
\n
\nAs we manage more information, t
 here is greater need for us to use more complex interactions to guide us th
 rough finding, selecting, creating, acting upon, sharing, and finally consu
 ming the information around us. Whether through a web browser, an Adobe AIR
  application, or your cell phone, rich interactions can aid your users and 
 provide differentiated value to the businesses that engage you.
\n
\nExpert
  interaction designer David Malouf has created a seminar exploring the most
  important issues surrounding the web’s most sophisticated applications.
\n
 
\nThis course will teach you:
\n
\n   1. What defines an RIA, its building
  blocks, the environment and the differing and complementary technologies.
 \n   2. How to deconstruct existing applications to learn important lessons
  from those that came before you.
\n      How to guide in the selection of 
 technologies and make your designs more technologically agnostic.
\n   3. W
 hat are design patterns and how they can help you over time increase design
  quality and consistency when used properly.
\n   4. Documentation techniqu
 es that help you move from static pages to rich application design communic
 ations.
\n
\nThis is a 1-day seminar with exercises for practice and lots o
 f discussion.
