Talk comments
Ian Barber has a way of taking complex topics and explaining them in a way that makes it all seem easy. I know it will take me a lot more effort working with ReactPHP and EEP to achieve even the most simply even driven streams/aggregators/windows, but I'm inspired to try.
Unfortunately a bit too fast because the lack of time.
As always with Aral, a lot of great WTF examples where he highlights UX designs that were clearly not created for humans, but his washing machine example felt like adding 100x cost and complexity (and risk of error) to a design that does work, with well recognised icons that actually match icons printed on clothing labels - I consider that good design.
But that gripe aside, it does focus the mind on why we should provide a good user experience.... and the tail end is looking specifically at examples from our online domain (particularly web versus mobile)... reminds me of a recent xkcd http://www.xkcd.com/1174/
Well presented, inspirational and thought provoking
