Last week I had the pleasure of speaking at the Edge of the Web conference in Perth on UX Architecture for the Small Guy. I will do a brief write up on the conference shortly, so standby on that one, but for now on with the talk.
Why this Topic
Too often I have been to various conferences and I have heard from some very experienced UX people discussing numerous case studies of projects. All of them have one thing in common – large budgets or large teams. Frankly these are not the projects that happen from day to day in Perth. But they appear to be the mainstay of the UX designer, one gets the impression they are the general bread and butter in some parts of the world.
Last few weeks have been a little busy here, returning from conferences, dealing with the project backlog, and preparing for my Edge of the Web talk.
Moving on now with my fifth and final interview in the 5×5 series with speakers from the Edge of the Web conference (that’s just over a week away) , this time I’m talking with James McCutcheon. James is presenting on Why the web doesn’t have an edge anymore, he is a self confessed leader in Microsoft development community with a passion for windows mobile and a serial entrepreneur .

It’s time for part two of the 5 x 5 interview series, covering a range of speakers from the upcoming Perth web conference the Edge of the Web. Next I caught up with Ash Donaldson.
Ash Donaldson is one of those old school User Experience Designers that are the main stay of our industry. He’s the type of person that just extrudes knowledge and a passion for his craft . It’s well worth having a chat over a beer or two with Ash, you’ll come away with your head spinning, and not from the beer.

Last year the Perth Web community celebrated with the highly successful inaugural Edge of the Web conference. Well that conference is on again, with workshops and ending in the massive geek black tie party that is the Australia Web Awards Dinner. You wanted it over two days – you got it, you wanted more locals – you got it, you wanted more workshops – you got it.
To help celebrate this year, I’m putting together this five part interview series with speakers from the Edge of the Web conference, this is part one.
