Hi all, IxDA Washington DC now has a UX Book Club. We have a page on the UX Book Club Wiki, we have our first 2 books chosen, and now we just need folks who are interested to come on by and show interest by joining.
*Description*: The UX Book Club Washington D.C.<%20http://uxbookclub.org/doku.php?id=washington_dc>seeks to enhance the abilities and knowledge of user experience professionals from information architects and interaction designers to visual designers and usability specialists to augment their understanding for excellence in UX practice, ixd design theory while building a passionate local community. Subjects of interest to this club span design theory, design research and user experience research practices and processes. The books include the strategy and business of design, UX design theory and history, methodology, usability research, and the ethics of UX professionals, while networking and having some fun. In this first year, we will read, review, and discuss *8 books*. Moderation and discussion lead will rotate throughout the group so that everyone eventually gets a chance to frame the conversation and contribute to group learning. I have taken the liberty of choosing the first two books to jump start the group, but afterwards books will be chosen by some democratic mechanism based on group interest. The first two books are Bill Buxton's "*Sketching User Experiences*," and Dan Saffer's "*Designing for Interaction*." Our first scheduled meeting will be the mid-January, date TBD, but I wanted folks interested to be able to get the first two books now and have time to finish Buxton's Sketching User Experiences before the first meeting. Cheers! http://uxbookclub.org/doku.php?id=washington_dc Go to the page and add your name if you want to start reading and then join the discussion group. -- ~ will "Where you innovate, how you innovate, and what you innovate are design problems" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Will Evans | User Experience Architect tel: +1.617.281.1281 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] aim: semanticwill gtalk: semanticwill twitter: semanticwill skype: semanticwill --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
