Thoughts from a designer
Jon Harris, User Experience evangelist
Microsoft:
hard to use
unintuitive
ugly
designed by Engineers
Rich vs reach - choosing the right experience
Windows Presentation Foundation - allows designers and develoeprs to work together
Vista gadgets
ASP.NET AJAX - framework, hmv digital uses this
Silverlight - rich interface stuff
Expression studio - Expression Media has nice transcoding things
Designers and developers speak different languages, apparently that’s why stuff looks different at the end
[I think it’s because designers design stuff which is sometimes impossible using tools available in the timeframe, and things change]
Apparently developers break all the beautiful designer-made eggs!
Expression Blend smooths the handover from designer -> developer. Allegedly.
