SXSW Interactive 2009 – Day 3

Here’s my schedule for day 3:

  • 10:00 AM Being a UX Team of One (Leah Buley – Adaptive Path)
  • 11:30 AM Journey to the Center of Design (Jared Spool – User Interface Engineering)
  • 02:00 PM CSS3: What’s Now, What’s New and What’s Not? (Molly Holzschlag – Opera Software, David Baron – Mozilla, Hakon Wium Lie – Opera Software, Sylvain Galineau – Microsoft)

Three great presentations/panels on day 3. Leah Buley showed very inspiring ideas about what you could do when you’re a team of one and that it’s always a good idea to involve other people, which you could also do when you work as a lone wolf, at some point of the process. As always, Jared Spool’s presentation was entertaining and interactive. He just knows how to get his audience involved and up on heir feet. He stated (among other things), that “it’s time to retire the dogam of user centered design” and that “we should focus on informed design and the three core ux attributes,” he found in his reserach: vision, feedback and culture. At the CSS 3 panel, the representatives of the different browsers (except for Apple, who were absent as usual) showed the level of CSS implementation. If what they said is true, while Opera and Mozilla have, as we know, already started implementing CSS 3 features, IE8 will be the first browser with complete CSS 2.1 support. Can’t wait to verify this. The links to the slides of this presentation will be posted on molly.com can be found on Molly’s website.

In the evening it was time for the web awards at the Hilton.
