Please pass this on to any colleagues who may be in= terested. UxFest London, 7-10 February 2011: Four Days of UX, IA and UCD The four days cover an range of important topics for getting the most out o= f your web or intranet projects: * Dynamic User Experience: Ajax Design & Usability - how to use the= greater interactivity offered by Ajax and DHTML to improve (rather than da= mage) user experience. Topics include an overview of Ajax from a non-techni= cal perspective and its implications for usability and accessibility. * Agile UX & UCD - doing user experience and user-centred design wi= thin an Agile environment. How Agile differs from traditional waterfall met= hods and the strategies needed to make users the centre of attention. Parti= cipants do not need previous Agile experience although some familiarity wit= h UX and UCD/usability is assumed. * Designing Web Navigation - principles and elements of navigation,= including a simple-but-effective technique called cores and paths. Partici= pants will learn about transitional volatility, the scent of information (a= mongst other topics) and how to create a unified navigation system. * Faceted Search & Beyond - faceted analysis, implementing facets a= nd understanding the user interface design requirements of facets with hand= s-on exercises. Advanced topics include faceted navigation design with SEO,= selecting multiple values, grouping and more. Early bird rates run until 7 January and there are substantial discounts fo= r booking three or more places. We also have a very special price for booki= ng all four days. I have presented the first two courses many times, including at internation= al conferences . The dynamic user experience course has been part of the Ni= elsen-Norman Group Usability Week seminars. James Kalbach will be presentin= g the web navigation and faceted search courses. He is the author of O'Reil= ly's Designing Web Navigation and is a well-respected speaker.
