Dave & Andrei, I completely agree that our ability to produce interactive prototypes has increased significantly. Better libraries, better tools, and better platforms (web standards FTW) have made it easier than ever to produce models of interaction.
I think I may have misunderstood Dave's point about not needing GUI developers -- I was approaching it from the point of view of production engineering, and I see now that he was talking about prototype development. I was trying to make the point that front-end *production* is getting more complex. Look at the work that Douglas Crockford and others have done in bringing sane development patterns to Javascript. They make JS more powerful, but at the expense of requiring a much deeper knowledge of the language and OO design patterns. -- jackson . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
