Andre’s Blog

Just finished watching a great discussion from some of the leading designers in web usability and interface design.  The topics include:

• design
• information architecture
• usability as a component of user experience
• usability testing
• qualitative and quantitative measurement
• how to roll out changes
• when to use Ajax
• wire framing and prototyping

It’s long though, 2h30m so make some popcorn.

The event was hosted at Google:

Usability 2.0 WebGuild Event – April 11, 2007 Luke Wroblewski, Senior Principal Designer, Yahoo! Inc. Jon Wiley, User Experience Designer, Google, Inc. Sean Kane, Director, User Interface Engineering, Netflix Reshma Kumar, VP, WebGuild

Luke’s slides are here.  There’s a few interesting slides in here that are hard to see in the flash vid.  Although none of the actual presentations or panel questions were anything special, I really liked the discussion and questions amongst the three of them.  Although they all design for the biggest properties on the web they all approach usability an ux very pragmatically and most what they discuss could be used by a team of any size.  All smart guys with lots of experience, worth listening to.

[update] Luke has done a follow up interview with Webguild.
