What web developers can learn from scientists and the science community
March 7, 2010 Industry & Shop Talk
I've come to the realization that web developers are in many ways like scientists. I wouldn't go as far as to say that what we do is on par with, say, the work of quantum physicists or evolutionary biologists in an intellectual sense, nor is it as important. But our methods, behavior and how we work in peer groups is - or should be- much the same. If we are to contribute to the evolution of our profession raise and the bar for ourselves, we need to be reminded of and put into practice the kind of objectivity and sense of solidarity practiced in the scientific community.
An interview with web designer Nicole Foster of Serene Destiny
March 6, 2010 Industry & Shop Talk
Here at the Labs, I take every opportunity I can to help promote my follow web designers and am thankful that the web design community is so rich in solidarity, and if I may add, relatively low in unnecessary arrogance. In an effort to continue giving visibility to my peers, I'm going to post interviews from time to time with a focus on web designers who are either new (or new-ish) to the scene or who may have been around a while but you may not know. I'm pleased to introduce as my first in this series, New York web designer & developer Nicole Foster of Serene Destiny.
Must-have skills every web designer should possess
January 29, 2010 Design Thoughts & Trends Industry & Shop Talk
A lot has changed for web designers since the dawn of the public web in the early 1990's. With the evolution of web standards and the rise of 'Web 2.0' (ugh, I can't stand that term), the bar has risen quite high for those of us who build web sites for a living. I thought I'd offer my own perspective on the skills one must possess to remain marketable in today's web designer profession.
