Howdy, Adaptive Path is working on a project right now for a company that is developing tools for UX folks and front-end devs. We're trying to talk with a wide range of folks who are creating what we're loosely calling "Rich Internet Applications (RIA)." What we really mean is people and companies that are at the forefront of creating the new breed of internet applications, especially using technologies like Ajax, Flash, Flex, AIR, WPF, Silverlight, etc. that allow for really rich, interactive experiences. But this isn't just about technology. Our interest is in that fuzzy boundary between designers and developers that seems to become necessary when we begin to deal with rich interfaces. This is an opportunity to help define the tools and technologies that you will be using for your job in the coming years. And we'll pay you for it!
See below for more details. If you're interested in participating, email christy at adaptivepath dot com. Cheers, Todd THE DETAILS --------------------- We're looking for people from these kinds of organizations... Sole practitioners: These are folks who do a little bit of everything in interaction design, from crafting some visual comps to IA to prototyping and front end dev in something like Ajax or Flash. Boutiques: Small shops with a fairly specialized focus on Rich Internet Applications or highly interactive design. We want orgs that are more on the making side of things than on the strategic. We're especially interested in places that have a proficiency with tools and platforms for rapid prototyping and rich experiences like Flash, Silverlight, WPF, Flex, or Ajax along with IxD chops. Startups: A classic small- to medium-sized company that is VC or self- funded that does all the design and development of a fairly focused RIA product or suite of products. Agencies: Frog, Razorfish, Critical Mass, Blast Radius, or something like that. Big enough to be doing Enterprise work also doing more than interactive games or animated marketing sites. Enterprises: We'd love to talk to some folks trying to bring good UX and rich experiences into a large enterprise. Think RIA/UX folks inside SAP, Fidelity, or Sabre. We're especially interested in finding people located in Texas (Austin, Dallas, or Houston) or the SF Bay area. We'll be scheduling sessions in the SF Bay area for the week of 3/3 - 3/6 and doing Texas interviews off and on from 2/25 - 3/14. For companies of all sizes, we would really like to talk with a few members of a team rather than just one person. We would like to come to the place where you work to talk with you for about 1.5 hours and we'll pay you for your time. For those doing sensitive client work, we will be very discreet about project details. If you or someone you know fits this bill and would be interested in participating, please send an email to christy at adaptivepath do com. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Todd Wilkens Adaptive Path [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
