Just saw this course posted online. I wish I was in NY so I could go.
Ineraction design for RIAs.
Some problems you will be able to solve when done with this class:
1. You will work on the redesign of a mission-critical financial services application to be rolled out to 6,000 financial consultants. The previous system was deployed as a desktop installed application using .NET services. You are tasked with redesigning it to work within a web browser. What is the right set of technologies to consider? What are the differences? How do I and should I replicate the behaviors of the desktop application in this new medium? What pitfalls should I be aware of when working on my design?
2. You are hired to design a hotel reservation system for the latest brand hotel to come from a major hospitality organization famous for top tier service. What advantages are there in using RIA behaviors and technologies to help enhance this new brand? What can go wrong to cause a backlash effect?
David Malouf is the instructor and is a very skilled interaction who’s well respected in the community and an active member of IXDA list. Hey David want to make a trip to Vancouver to put this course on here too? The weather is nice in summer:)
The Task-Focused Desktop (Tasktop) enables you to take control of the enormous volumes of information that make up your workday. Instead of being overloaded with hundreds of files and web pages, Tasktop shows you only the information that is relevant to y
IxDA Discussion: Is Eye Tracking too expensive or complicated?
Interesting thread I started about the pros and cons of eye tracking vs other forms of usability testing. Comments, thoughts and dissing from some of the leading minds in usability
Putting people first » Stanford University’s Human-Computer Interaction Seminar
Of particular interest to the readers of this blog is Stanford University’s Human-Computer Interaction Seminar, consisting of no less than 36 lectures by people such as Bill Moggridge, Bill Buxton, Elizabeth Churchill, Paul Dourish and Donald Norman.
Once again, Sun Microsystems will be opening our tent flap to the developer community for CommunityOne. Learn from experts representing a wide range of open source projects; from chip design to operating systems to web servers and databases to scripting l
As you may recall, Sun has been kind enough to once again ask us to run a track in their CommunityDay unconference, which happens May 5th, the Monday before JavaOne proper starts. If you’d like to attend, please go register now, indicating your interest

Dave Johnson will be giving a talk on JavaScript and DOM Design Patterns at Community One.
There is a hole in the current knowledge and practice of user interface development, even though most Ajax developers confront UI development on a daily basis. Although design patterns have been around for a while, little attention has been paid to the HTML Document Object Model (DOM). This presentation uses several concrete examples to explore the need for and application of DOM design patterns.
This presentation shows why DOM patterns are consequential, given the complex and often misunderstood interplay between the DOM, DOM events, and JavaScriptâ„¢ technology-particularly event ordering, bubbling and capture, and event triggers.
In this presentation, attendees will learn how to use the JavaScript programming language to write succinct, useful libraries that address key DOM design patterns such as composite controls. They will leave with an understanding of how DOM design patterns can help speed web development and result in more-robust solutions. They will also learn about various repeatable patterns that can be applied to DOM scripting, specifically how DOM events and JavaScript technology work together.
Mark your calendars for Monday, May 5th at 11am. CommunityOne is free and you also get the first day of JavaOne for free so you’ve got no excuses!
That same day we’re going to be hanging out and participating in the RedMonk unconference track. Our areas of focus are going to be the business of RIAs and some advanced topics in Ajax development.
The RedMonk Unconference: expect a rich mix of open source, dynamic languages, development in general, Java, social media high jinks, and all of the usual things you’d expect from the industry’s first open source analyst company. This year we plan a Rich Internet Panel (with JavaFX, Adobe, Nitobi, and other folks) and a discussion about the Mylyn Eclipse personal productivity IDE, with a special appearance by Atlassian’s Mike Cannon Brooks. This is the CommunityOne unconference by you, for you, so please come along and set the agenda.

Dion and I were (again) the two Ajax-tag-alongs on the OnAIR Tour in Europe. So we had a quick chat about what Nitobi has been up to with our Ajax components.
The first leg of the European OnAIR Tour has just wrapped up in London. It’s been a great time. I’m just putting together all my thoughts on the tour but I’d post this video of my talk in Spain.
