Happy 1st Anniversary!
Thank You!
It’s been one year since I started sharing my experience about User-centered Design on this blog. I want to take this oportunity and thank you all for reading my thoughts and insights – you give meaning to my work!
More important, I want to hear from you
- what you liked,
- what you didn’t like and
- especially what you would like to hear more about.
What’s coming next?
Here is a sampling of what I’m currently working on or what I have planned to write about next:
- Effective Web Design Critique
- Code samples: jQuery, .NET, CSS
- How Can I Evaluate the Quality of My Website?
- More ‘Design Guidelines’
- More ‘Best Practices’ (including spreadsheets)
- Some funny ‘Lessons learned’
- …whatever else I learn every day

congrats! hast du die letzten auch immer auf fb geteilt? habe sie anfangs immer verfolgt und dann irgenwann war pause. werde jetzt wieder braver lesen. gute mischung aus lehrreich und witzig, also die optimale form etwas zu lehren.
@Jessica: Thanks a lot for your kind words! Interesting thought you have about assessing UI’s of popular pages, especially because in many cases they influence our style of designing/programming – but should they? muaaaa
@Gerhard: I will post them to Facebook again, sorry about neglecting this channel. Happy to hear you like the mix of funny and educating – thanks!
