Moderated by Steve Bristol, Less Everything

You can have the best code in the world, but if the user interface is hard to use, the site is worthless. The converse is also true: if the user interface is great, it doesn’t matter if the code is horrible. Steven Bristol of Less Everything talks about how to create good UI. How to get inside a user’s head and make things better for them. This talk covers philosophy, psychology and gives plenty of examples and analysis.
