UXcamp – A user experience gathering in Central America
Last night BootStudio hosted what is probably the first user experience gathering in Central America: UXcamp. We had a pretty good turnout, and folks (web desigers and developers, for the most part) seemed genuinely excited about the issues being discussed:
- I started things off with an explanation of user experience design for the web and information architecture.
- Jorge Yau spoke on how to improve the usability of blogs.
- Harold Maduro presented a case study of his work in redesigning the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute’s website, stri.org.
- Leon Kadoch explained how he’s designing a site for kids.
The event was made possible thanks to the folks at the City of Knowledge, who kindly provided the space and technical infrastructure for us to be able to meet.
There’s already talk of holding another UXcamp soon… we’re looking forward to hearing presentations from other colleagues of the panamanian web design community. Hopefully the next event will also be a bit longer
- it’d be great to just hang out, perhaps share a meal.- technorati tags start—>
