SUMMARY:Interaction Design for Web Applications
LOCATION:New York, New York, USA
DESCRIPTION:Are you currently building web-based applications? Are you task
 ed with adding more interactivity to your web apps? Do you want to learn in
 teraction design skills geared towards adding interactivity and richness to
  your web-based solutions?
\n
\nInformation spaces on the Web are becoming 
 increasingly filled with complex interactions. Even simple transactional so
 lutions like shopping carts and document management systems are becoming mo
 re complex with richer desktop-like interaction models. Today’s web designe
 rs and information architects need access to disciplines like interaction d
 esign and software design to create powerful and successful web application
 s. For example:
\n
\n* The developers at a major financial institution are 
 working on a mission-critical application that will be rolled out to more t
 han 6,000 financial consultants, but they have no idea whether a Rich Inter
 net Application (RIA) is the right solution. And if an RIA is the right cho
 ice, they’re unsure of what technology to use.
\n
\n* The development team 
 for a hotel reservation system would like to migrate their simple applicati
 on to an RIA solution. Where should the developers start? How do they avoid
  making the same mistakes that other developers have already made?
\n
\nTo 
 help designers solve these types of problems, expert web application design
 er David Malouf has created a seminar exploring some of the most important 
 issues surrounding the web’s most sophisticated applications. In this infor
 mation-packed seminar he will give you a solid introduction to RIAs and dem
 onstrate the value RIAs can add to your web application.

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.
