Are you tasked 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? As we manage more information, there is greater need for us to use more complex interactions to guide us through finding, selecting, creating, acting upon, sharing, and finally consuming 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. Expert interaction designer David Malouf has created a seminar exploring the most important issues surrounding the web’s most sophisticated applications. This course will teach you: 1. What defines an RIA, its building blocks, the environment and the differing and complementary technologies. 2. How to deconstruct existing applications to learn important lessons from those that came before you. How to guide in the selection of technologies and make your designs more technologically agnostic. 3. What are design patterns and how they can help you over time increase design quality and consistency when used properly. 4. Documentation techniques that help you move from static pages to rich application design communications. This is a 1-day seminar with exercises for practice and lots of discussion. 529 NY By popular demand, expert interaction designer David Malouf's seminar returns, exploring the most important issues surrounding the web's most sophisticated applications. 2008-10-16 false http://smartexperience.org/classes/interaction-design-for-rias/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/529 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/529/smartexperience.logo.png design, interaction design, internet, ixda, malouf, ria, rich internet applications, web london United Kingdom 2009-02-04 Community is an elusive and ever changing beast. It can be used to empower amazing start ups or it can be a tool of destruction and obsession. This workshop will help you understand how to use the community as a tool and what is required to sustain a growing community. A vibrant community is a living thing that requires nurturing. By the end of this workshop, you should be able to define your community, how to encourage interaction and understand the life-cycle of a community member. If you believe that having a community is CRITICAL to the success of your enterprise, this is where you should be. Also, be forewarned: Your instructor will probably make fun of you in front of others. Be a good sport. 591 United Kingdom Ben Huh of "I Can Has Cheezburger" Just Add Community: The Practical How-To Guide to Winning Over Users one At A Time 2009-02-03 false http://carsonworkshops.com/2009/benhuh/index.html http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/591 http://events.boxesandarrows.com/event/logo/591/logoColourGrey-small-1.jpg carsonified, designer, developer, internet, web, workshop London United Kingdom 2009-02-11 Being a great designer or developer is only half the battle.
