Real nice to hear a both developer and designer talk pragamatic way and really utilising each others skills. I found it to be thought-provoking walked away with lots to think about, and plenty of question marks over my interface design. The software demo's were great, and really gave me a thirst for wanting to get in to WPF sooner! Thanks to both the presenters and the coordinators!

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


Neil Roodyn Anything he wants...
It doesn't really matter as we'll listen to anything the Dr has to say, but he'll be sharing real world development experiences and stories.
