MIX09 is for everyone involved with creating rich web or client applications. Although successful applications start with exceptional design and user experience, they now must also properly include complex online and offline services, optimized designs for increasingly complex client devices, viable business models, and much more. The content at MIX this year will be expanded to better cover these key topics and will help attendees learn how to effectively design and build great applications. To demonstrate this commitment, the initial MIX09 sessions focus on key topics for web professionals ranging from user experience design methodologies and standards-based web development techniques to creating rich internet and client applications. Highlights from the initial MIX sessions include:
· For the last two years, Lou Carbone has inspired us with insights about how to improve the bottom-line by optimizing customer web experience. This year we’ll see Lou expand greatly on this topic with brand new content.
· Last year, Dan roam explained to us just how powerful images can be. This year, he’s going to teach us how to think visually.
· Johnny Lee was recently hired by Microsoft Research. You may know him from <link>his innovative work with the Wiimote. He’ll be at MIX09 talking about it, and some other stuff he’s had brewing in his crazy lab.
· Microsoft Surface is now out in the open. So, unlike last year, it was easier to convince the talented Surface UX team to come tell us their secrets.
· Last, but certainly not the least, you’ll get the chance to hear the Expression Studio team talking about everything from workflow to standards-based design.
