dConstruct ‘07
September 12th, 2007
So dConstruct 2007 proved a good Friday day (and night) by the sea. User experience was the order of the day with no code (as far as I can remember) on display at all. It was a happy absence IMO - I find it easier to take in more conceptual talk than coding practices at conferences
Interesting things I need to investigate that I picked up from presentations and pub chats:
- FreeAgent Central - worth investigating for freelance income tracking etc. (thanks Roan).
- The relationship between UCD and Agile
Plus countless other tidbits of inspiration and book list ideas.
Was also particularly pleased to see B3ta.com discussed at a serious web conference - the attitude to community at B3ta always seems to have been ahead of its time so kudos for recognising this to the organisers. Was good to meet Denise after although I’d had a drink or five so I’m not sure I made sense - save for spouting about how much I appreciated B3ta… nice.
Ah, just found a great summary of proceedings - these look like the notes I should have taken:
Thanks everyone!

Glad you enjoyed the talk - and good to meet you too. I was probably drunk aswell by the time we met, so no need to apologise

Thanks for the linkage, glad the notes were of some use to you.
Denise and George’s talk was fantastic, I think my friends are getting a bit sick of me enthusing about it to be honest.
