Smaller teams are often looking for someone who can implement code. It's the same reason many technical writers are also asked to help code for the projects on which they work. Interface design, like several other tasks, is primarily a role that is served during the design phase of a product. Smaller teams may want you to take on other partial roles during other stages of development.
I am strictly talking about employer expectations, not whether or not that's good design ;) By all means, someone should take this one on. I can think of at least one company in Redmond, WA that needs the help badly. --- Ari Feldman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > the only value that having a programming or technical background when > it > comes to interaction/interface design is understanding the > limitations of > what's possible under a given technical platform or operating system. > this > background really comes in handy when it comes to designing efficient > and/or > usable interfaces and working around physical restrictions that > various > technologies impose. http://technical-writing.dionysius.com/ technical writing | consulting | development ____________________________________________________________________________________ Take the Internet to Go: Yahoo!Go puts the Internet in your pocket: mail, news, photos & more. http://mobile.yahoo.com/go?refer=1GNXIC ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
