Bringing Design to Life: What Every Designer Should Know about Interface Engineering (with Bill Scott)

At most companies, designers and engineers live in completely different worlds. For many designers the work of engineering is indistinguishable from magic. This unfortunately makes creating a finely crafted user experience much harder than it should be. Not knowing what is possible or proposing the impossible both hinder the synergy between design and engineering. Understanding the interface engineer's bag of tricks can go a long way to closing the gap between these two worlds. What is now possible in the browser? And what is still hard to do? In this webinar, Bill Scott—author of Designing Web Interfaces (O'Reilly)—will focus specifically on the challenges and the opportunities for DHTML-based web sites and applications. Specific topics include: visual design nuances, ins and outs of images, CSS follies, interactivity, cinematic effects, performance, accessibility, browser advancements and ways to create a common vocabulary.

Big thanks to Abe Crystal for working with me to organize this event. There should be more in the future. :)
