A designer that doesn't use a fruit machine!!! Brilliant, gets a 9 for that alone :). Great talk. Good insight into the fancy pants side of software, something which most developers lack experience of.

Event Breakdown
Richard Bassett Design can be a Tricky Business!
Rich internet applications have changed the way that super-brands connect with their customers. If you want to compete in this cluttered marketplace it's essential that you evolve your product or service into a unique brand, creating a circle that people want to join.

People don't buy products, they buy experiences. Get the thoughts of Tricky on 'experience design' and the methods that his team have put into practice on digital projects for Audi, Alton Towers and John L Scott. Discover why design is an essential stage in the creation of rich interfaces, and how you can shape your product so that it's right for the people who really matter, your customers!

This session covers the iterative approach that Tricky and his team use to design experiences, including: Branding, ideation, research, sketching and conceptualisation. It is a great opportunity to check-out some exciting WPF & Silverlight projects, also to understand and discuss how designers are using Microsoft's Expression tools.

An engaging session for both designers and developers alike


Mohammed Muzammil Assembly Vs Executable? CLS vs CTS ? Does CLR understand Events..?
Even though we usually work with much higher level of abstractions but nevertheless it is important to know the underlying stuff, especially for developers. In this quick nugget I hope to go through these concepts and hopefully it would be a quick revision/eye-opener for the audience, on the basics of .NET
