LDS TechTalk in Salt Lake, Thursday Night
This Thursday night our department is putting on a TechTalk.
Date: Thursday, Jan 18th
Time: 6:30PM – 8:00PM
Place: Joseph Smith Memorial Building
50 South Temple, Salt Lake City
The goal of the TechTalk is two-fold: to share information about what’s going on in our department and to get to know the LDS Tech community better. If you’re into tech and the Church, you are the target audience for this. Our CIO, Joel Dehlin, will be presenting as will several of the Directors.
I’ll be presenting on Interaction Design. I plan to cover the following topics:
- Our Interaction Design team, its purpose, its role
- Our use of rapid, iterative, high-fidelity prototyping
- Our use of web standard HTML and CSS
- How we work with dev and qa teams
- and lots of Q&A
If you’re into design and how it gets done in a large organization, my talk is for you. If you’re in the Salt Lake area Thursday night, drop on by and say hi. I’ll be one of the big chubby white guys up front. I hope you can make it.
Also, we’re holding a repeat of the event next Tuesday evening in Utah Valley for the southerners who’d like to avoid the drive. I’ll post more details on that soon. We’re also planning to do more of these outside of Utah. I’ll announce those plans when they settle.
