-----Original Message----- It's probably worth it to remember that until very recently, Google required it's UX leads to be capable of producing production ready HTML, Javascript, etc. Is Google not serious about UX? Let's be serious here...
It's perfectly reasonable to ask for a UX designer to have "production" skills such as HTML, CSS, and Javascript; it's also perfectly reasonable that a few designers will not have taken the detour to learn those skills. I think the reactions came from the inclusion of C++ as a skills requirement. That's no detour, that's a completely different path. As an aside, I'm curious as to why Google required production skills "until very recently." My guess is that, as someone on the list pointed out, it's more a problem of bandwidth than skill. --------------------------------- Marla Erwin User Experience Engineer, Vignette [EMAIL PROTECTED] office: 512-741-3684 mobile: 512-736-5201 ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
