37signals bewirbt sein zweite Buch, das am 09. März herauskommt:
- How UCD and Agile can live together | Johnny Holland
"User Centered Design is the methodology by which you design a holistic product while considering the needs of stakeholders and users. Agile Development is a programming methodology and philosophy intended to overcome the challenges of the waterfall development process and to deliver clean and functional code. How can these two methodologies come together?" - Bringing User Centered Design to the Agile Environment | Boxes and Arrows
"In this article, I will describe Agile and attempt to illuminate a potential minefield for those who are swept up in the fervor of this development trend and want to jump in headlong. Then I will present how practices within User Centred Design (UCD) can mitigate the inherent risks of Agile and how these may be integrated within Agile development approaches." - Agile Software Development Meets User-Centered Design | The Human Factor Advocate
Summary of links on Agile and UCD - Twelve emerging best practice for adding user experience work to agile software development | AgileProductDesign
"I'm often asked "does user experience practice work with Agile development?" The short answer is: of course it does!" - Agile Archives | Carbon Five Community
"[W]e have a growing reading list of existing resources on the topic that I am posting here for you. If you have other resources for us, please share."

John Gruber beschreibt in seinem Blog ein neues UI-Element des iPads, das sogenannte “popover”.
Across the iPad system, Apple has introduced a new UI element, which they’re calling popovers. It’s a perfect name. Popovers are like a cross between dialog boxes, drop-down menus, and inspector palettes. [...]
They’re in a fixed position, always with an arrow pointing to the button or other control [...] that the user tapped to open the popover. To close a popover, you just tap away from it — tapping anywhere other than within the popover closes it. [...]According to the iPad Human Interface Guidelines (which, alas, are only available to registered iPhone SDK developers), there is a modal variant: [...]
- Modal, in which case the popover dims the screen area around it and requires an explicit dismissal. This behavior is very similar to that of a modal view, but a popover’s appearance tends to give the experience a lighter weight.
- Non-modal, in which case the popover does not dim the screen area around it and people can tap outside its bounds to dismiss it. This behavior makes a non-modal popover seem like another view in the application, not a separate state.
The overall effect of popovers is that you do far less view switching in an iPad app than you do an iPhone app.
Bin gespannt, wann die ersten popovers auf dem PC auftauchen.

Shay Howe spricht in seiner Präsentation über die Wichtigkeit von Webseiten-Inhalten und beschreibt wie man gute Inhalte strukturiert erstellt und präsentiert.
When it comes to designing a website, content is often overlooked, but why? Very rarely do users browse the web looking for a good design or decent experience. Users come for the content. Not giving them what they want with poorly written content will frustrate users. Not only does it waste their time, but your time as well.
Neben der Präsentation hat er seine Erklärungen online gestellt und die Folien können bei Slideshare als .pdf heruntergeladen werden.
- An Introduction to Website Split Testing | SixRevisions
"Here we look at how to determine which aspects of your web design work is most effective to help the client’s website achieve its aims, by a process known as split testing." - The web designer’s guide to user experience | TechRadar UK
"User experience ('UX' to its friends) is a term increasingly bandied about. Currently in that strange position of being excitingly new to many, touted as an essential component of web design process by industry experts and seemingly on the way to becoming ubiquitous, UX also has an air of mystery about it. This is partly because it's tricky to pin down exactly what it is." - What have we forgotten about UX? | InsideRIA
"Jakob Nielsen literally wrote the book(s) on usability. This is what Nielsen's website looks like.The text is clear and legible, and the navigation couldn't be simpler. But, my goodness. To find a site that's visually less appealing, you'd have to go to someone trying to sell you hamsters. It's really difficult to find or absorb any information on a page that positively screams 'leave now, while your eyes are still functioning!'" - The Differences between Usability and User Experience | InsideRIA
"The success of software [...] has driven both of these terms into our vernacular, and yet they are still often confused or thought to be synonymous. This post is meant to help those new to the field or unfamiliar with the intricacies of design to understand the differences between the terms."
