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.

UX Australia

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.

UX Australia - The Lolly jar!

Last week I was at an inaugural user experience conference in Canberra, UX Australia.  Despite some personal issues, over all this was one kick arse conference.   It really showed that in Australia we have lots of highly educated  and very intelligent UX professionals in terms of speakers and attendees.

You know it is a good conference when you glance over the program and you can see that you have conflicts all over the shop as to what you want to see.  Even when you apply the old rule to go see the sessions that are  outside your comfort zone.
