			<title>HTML5 For Web Designers</title>
			<link>http://clearleft.com/news/45</link>
			<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>Clearleft&#8217;s technical director, <a href="http://clearleft.com/is/jeremykeith">Jeremy Keith</a>, has become an author for the third time. His latest book is called <cite>HTML5 for Web Designers</cite> and it&#8217;s available for pre-order now from <a href="http://books.alistapart.com/">A Book Apart</a>. As <a href="http://www.zeldman.com/2010/05/04/html5-for-web-designers/">Jeffrey Zeldman</a> puts it:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>The HTML5 spec is 900 pages and hard to read. HTML5 for Web Designers is 85 pages and fun to read. Easy choice.</p>
</blockquote>

<p>If you want to get some hands-on tuition from the author himself, consider booking <a href="http://workshopsfortheweb.com/html5/">the associated workshop</a>. You and your team can spend a day with Jeremy, immersed in the most important new technology on the web today.</p>

<p>You can read <a href="http://www.alistapart.com/articles/a-brief-history-of-markup/">the first chapter</a> of <cite>HTML5 for Web Designers</cite> at A List Apart this week.</p>

			<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>We were really excited to see that Clearleft founders, 
<a href="http://clearleft.com/is/andybudd/">Andy Budd</a> and <a href="http://clearleft.com/is/richardrutter/">Richard Rutter</a>, were listed at number 91 in the <a href="http://www.wired.co.uk/wired-magazine/archive/2010/05/features/the-wired-100-positions-51-to-100.aspx">Wired 100</a>.</p>

<p>With input from 120 experts in fields from architecture to advertising, and software to science, Wired compiled its first annual survey of Britiain&#8217;s top digital power brokers. As well as Andy and Rich, the list included such luminaries as Stephen Fry, James Dyson, Martha Lane Fox, as well as heads of Google, BBC and Spotify. Esteemed company indeed.</p>

			<title>HTML5 Workshop</title>
			<link>http://clearleft.com/news/43</link>
			<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>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!</p>

<p>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.   </p>

<p>Places are limited, so <a href="http://www.workshopsfortheweb.com/html5/">register now</a> to join this excellent and enlightening workshop.   And book before March 19th to take advantage of our early bird special!</p>

			<title>New UX London speaker</title>
			<link>http://clearleft.com/news/42</link>
			<description>
<![CDATA[
<p>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&#8217;re really excited to announce that Pixar&#8217;s Michael B Johnson will be joining us for this year&#8217;s event. Michael leads the animation studio at Pixar and has been involved in most of Pixar&#8217;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. </p>

<p>&#8220;Making movies is a complex, collaborative, creative activity&#8221; says Michael. &#8220;At Pixar, we don&#8217;t pretend to know exactly what we&#8217;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.&#8221; Michael will share his perspective on the Pixar film-making process; involving both creative story tellers who want things they don&#8217;t know how to make, and flexible technologists who want to empower them. </p>

<p>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 <a href="http://uxlondon.com">UX London 2010</a>.</p>

<p>We do have some tickets remaining, to see Michael and all our other fantastic speakers <a href="http://uxlondon.com/register">book now</a>.</p>
