SUMMARY:Modern Web Form Design (webinar)
LOCATION:Virtual
DESCRIPTION:The Web has been transformed by the recent proliferation of ric
 h interactions and social applications. But the workhorses of the online wo
 rld, Web forms, have been slow to evolve with these changes. As brokers of 
 crucial online interactions like e-commerce checkout and registration, form
 s bridge the gap between people, their information, and your product or ser
 vice. As a result, Web form design matters. But web forms aren't keeping up
 .
\n
\nBuilding on topics in his top-selling book, Web Form Design: Filling
  in the Blanks, Luke Wroblewski (bio) will walk you through the latest appl
 ications of rich Web form interactions (made possible by dynamic technologi
 es like Ajax) including: flexible inputs, dynamic help systems, inline vali
 dation, selection dependent inputs, and more. He'll also outline how gradua
 l engagement approaches to form design can create compelling new user exper
 iences for a wide variety of Web applications and services. Learn how these
  modern approaches to Web form design can enhance your sites!
