[IxDA Discuss] Getting a start in IxD from a technical background
I'm looking for my first job in interaction design or something similar, having recently earned my Master of Science degree in HCI. I'm having a bit of difficulty with the job search, in part because I have a background in computer science and most of my experience is in web development. As such, it seems that I come off as more of a web developer than an interface / interaction designer. I wouldn't mind a job that involves programming, but I want to make it clear that I want to have some contributions to the interface design, and that I would want to move out of programming eventually. Does anyone have any advice for how to position myself and what types of jobs to seek to establish myself as an interaction designer? Thanks! Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Visual cue for Type ahead input text fields?
I'm reminded of the built-in typeahead mechanism in Drupal - by default, it has a greyed-out spinner, which then turns blue and starts spinning while it's getting suggestions for the typeahead. I think that works really well both to show that it's a typeahead before the user starts typing, and that it's actually working. I believe it's implemented with a background-image in CSS, although I'd have to check up on that. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Drupal has a live version on http://api.drupal.org/, on the left side. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Re: [IxDA Discuss] Sources for Touch Interaction Information
I'd recommend Cameron Moll's book on mobile web design (http://mobilewebbook.com/). Also, for more touchscreen-related tips, you may want to check out Apple's iPhone web application design guidelines (https://developer.apple.com/webapps/index.php). -Mark A.
