We make
websites better

We’re pleased to announce that we are now taking bookings for our HTML for Web Designers workshop on April 23rd. Join us and learn why we think HTML5 is the most exciting thing to happen to markup in years. Clearleft-er Jeremy Keith will distil the most relevant parts of this perhaps daunting specification in what promises to be a superb day of hands-on discovery and exploration. Discover the design principles that are informing the latest version of the web’s lingua franca. You’ll find out why HTML5 is more of an evolution than a revolution!

This workshop will help you get to grips with the new features in HTML5, from audio and video to more powerful forms and new structural elements. You’ll gain an understanding of the new semantics and get an insight into how new features should be used. Focusing on the practicalities of using HTML5 today, this will truly benefit any web designer who wants to stay up-to-date with the latest standards.

Places are limited, so register now to join this excellent and enlightening workshop. And book before March 19th to take advantage of our early bird special!

We just wanted to let you know about some recent speaker changes. Sadly, Bill Moggridge is now unable to join us at UX London. However, we have some great news about his replacement. We’re really excited to announce that Pixar’s Michael B Johnson will be joining us for this year’s event. Michael leads the animation studio at Pixar and has been involved in most of Pixar’s feature films and short films. Responsible for designing their storyboarding, animation and rendering tools, Michael has a unique perspective on user experience design and its similarities with the movie making process.

“Making movies is a complex, collaborative, creative activity” says Michael. “At Pixar, we don’t pretend to know exactly what we’re doing, but we do have a process – one that we constantly test, prototype and refine based on the stories we want to tell and the people who want to tell them. Technology and art go hand in hand at Pixar – each challenges and reinforces the other.” Michael will share his perspective on the Pixar film-making process; involving both creative story tellers who want things they don’t know how to make, and flexible technologists who want to empower them.

With such obvious parallels between the Pixar film-making process and the larger design process, we hope this will be one of the most inspiring and insightful talks at UX London 2010.

We do have some tickets remaining, to see Michael and all our other fantastic speakers book now.

Our UX London workshop schedule is now complete. We’re pleased to announce that Dan Lockton will be running Design with Intent: How to influence behaviour online. Take a look at the programme for more information.

We’ve also reorganised the workshops so that the topics are more evenly spread.
