Brilliant keynote; very animated and thoroughly interesting :)
Making the new everyday things
Aral Balkan (20.May.2011 at 10:40)
Keynote at Dutch PHP Conference 2011 (English - US)
We are the makers of the new everyday things. We design and develop the virtual pens, telephones, newspapers, calendars, and door-handles that people interact with every single day. We are the virtual architects and the products that we design and develop have the power to determine whether people have a good day or a bad day.
In this session, Aral Balkan will outline the important role that user experience design plays in the making of virtual products and inspire you to see that it is your job – regardless of whether you make web sites, mobile apps, intranet systems, or ticket machines – to make this new world that we are crafting together not only usable and accessible but beautiful, fun, inspiring, pleasurable, delightful, and – dare I say – magical.

I knew Aral would be awesome ... he was awesome. Nothing to add.
Anything less than 5 star rating is an outrage.

As always, Aral amazes me with his talks. His enthusiasm about UX is contagious!

Very good, funny and inspiring talk. A great start of the conference!

Awesome keynote with some good insights about UX

Best presentation skills I've seen in ages! Liked the humor as well. Let's hope people look differently at designing their apps now. Thanks!

Amazing talk. One of the better I've seen so far. It ran like a train.
20.May.2011 at 09:53 by Ian Barber
Very entertaining talk, lots of great examples, lots of energy as always from Aral.
20.May.2011 at 09:53 by Gerben
Not only was this talk very entertaining, it was also quite confrontational in terms of what you're doing as a developer to increase usability of the system. The speaker was very passionate about the need for usability, which went down very well with the audience. All in all a great keynote!

It was a long time I've seen Aral performing on stage. Men a missed sessions/talks like this... More of that!
20.May.2011 at 10:25 by Robin Speekenbrink
funny and inspiring. Might not be as technical as expected from a conference like this, but inspiring nonetheless.
20.May.2011 at 10:34 by Stefan Koopmanschap
yeah. I've seen this talk in various incarnations and every single time it simply blows me away. *Awesome* talk, thanks Aral!

What more can I say? Great way to start the day. Very inspirational.
20.May.2011 at 12:25 by Gordon Oh.
This keynote was a highly entertaining and insightful User Experience
20.May.2011 at 12:44 by Rowan Merewood
Must not sound like fanboi...
Really energising start to the day. Nicely linked the UX responsibilities of designers and developers.
20.May.2011 at 16:01 by Jeroen van der Laan via api
This keynote totally blew me away. Problem with that is that nothing during the day could come near this very entertaining talk.
Very well done and five stars well deserved!

A very very entertaining and inspiring talk.
I guess the reason that some of your jokes didn't come across, because you sometimes maybe talked a bit to fast for a for the most part non native english speaking public. But don't change the pase of the talk, because it was spot on.

Great presentation! Would like to be able to give such a talk! The best talk so far.
21.May.2011 at 07:18 by Hervé Gouchet
Excellent! Congrats, you rock! I never look at electrical outlets as before!
21.May.2011 at 07:36 by Michiel Rook
Loved the energy, photos, beautiful slides and especially the way you approach design - very refreshing.
21.May.2011 at 12:06 by Bram van den Acker via api
Great talk, brilliant! Good begin of a very interesting day!
21.May.2011 at 13:52 by Tjebbe Westendorp
Fascinating start of the day, great talk... Buying my parking ticket at the end of the day, reminded me immediately to your talk. Well done!
21.May.2011 at 14:36 by Dennis van den Ende via api
Brilliant. Nothing more to say. Please come back again!!
21.May.2011 at 16:24 by Don Pinkster
Great presentation with alot of energy. Really resembles the way of presenting by Scott Hanselman. Both really great speakers!
21.May.2011 at 19:05 by Daan van den Berg
You are definitely not that crying little guy...
You are SUPERMAN!
But, you already know that.
21.May.2011 at 21:56 by Rik Deuzeman
Awesome talk, good slides. A great presentation in my opinion. Keep up the good work!
22.May.2011 at 11:29 by Dennis Luitwieler
Excellent! One of the best presentations I've seen.
This had a lot to do with the humor in the presentation. If somehow, the software world doesn't work out for you, you could still do stand-up comedy.
Not a technically hot topic, but very inspiring.
22.May.2011 at 12:53 by Núria Aloy
Probably the best presentation/speaker I've seen in the whole conference, both amusing and inspiring!
22.May.2011 at 13:09 by Joris van de Sande
For me it was the second time to see Aral give this talk. It was a great performance again!
22.May.2011 at 13:59 by Adnan Ibrišimbegović
This talk was one of few that made this conference worth coming to. If only the other speakers could adopt some of the presentation skills from Aral (or Evans). 7 thumbs up.
22.May.2011 at 19:23 by Tim Swann
Excellent speaker to open an event. His witty talk and mannerisms are a good way to break the ice before going into the more technical talks.
23.May.2011 at 11:48 by Stephane Winnepenninckx
There are no words to explain in which extend this changed my life. Or should I say the way I look to my life. It's not my fault anymore if I do not understand how to use something, it's the creator's fault that f*** my day ;-) Seriously, if you where not there you missed something, try to catch up.
23.May.2011 at 19:15 by Patrick Allaert
Very good presentation! A good way to make devs aware of their user experience responsibilities.
Might be a little bit shorter, seeing so many times "being superman" or an old crying baby tends to be a little bit exhausting.
I would have replaced some of this time spent with some more concrete action points devs can focus on.

Great keynote with good insights about design of every objects and UX.

Great, inspirational talk. Very funny and spot on.
