Evaluating the User Interface and User Experience + Slides
Every developer's goal should be to create a kick-ass site that is fully functional, usable and easy to use. Unfortunately, schedules and budgets often prevent proper QA testing. This session will outline some User Interface and User Experience Quality Assurance tips and best practices.
UPDATE: I've blogged about my session and the presentation slides [PDF, 13.4mb] are also available. Unfortunately, this session wasn't taped and there isn't any audio.
