Adaptive Path and Different, the Australian interactive agency specialising in human centred design, have teamed up to bring Jesse James Garrett to the all-new Human Centred Design Revolution workshop this May in Sydney. Join Jesse as he gives his full-day presentation on “The Elements of User Experience” and “The Nine Pillars of a Successful Web Team.”
The details are as follows: Locaton: Tuesday, 17th May 2005, Australian Technology Park, Sydney
Jesse runs his own site at http://www.jjg.net. His book: User – Centered Design for the Web — “The Elements of User Experience” has some tremendously positive reviews. You can download a free chapter from here.
Jesse, I am assume will be talking about Ajax too. Ajax is an innovative web application framework.
Its funny thinking of Bay 8 at Australian Technology Park now that our part of the office has moved back to north shore again, I wonder in the Australian Park for about 4 years. That place all too familiar to me.
I’ve been waiting for these guys to come to Sydney for a while – but $75 for just one day is ridiculous!
At that price the only people who will be able to attend will be from government organisations (they need all the HCI tips they can get) or larger companies (over 15-20 employees).
This is not the best approach to kick off a grass roots movement in HCI in Australia
that’s $475 btw!
Yes but it is still substantially cheaper that going to Jakob Nielsen’s show and better value. AT least it’s not a regurgitation of the same old stuff
Ben, unfortunately that is true. I agree with you. It defeats the purpose of a grassroot initiative if they are so heavily priced and even people that are willing to attend get put off. The other side of the story is also the fact they have to fly people in all the way from the US and there are costs involved no matter which way you look. And also to get Jesse to come all the way and speak is somewhat rare in my opinion. But yes they should have been cheaper!
