“Last week we introduced the concept of prototyping as a solution to the problem of representing Ajax at the early stages of designing an interface. We talked about some general strategies and attitudes we should take when starting a project (like not being a hero and establishing good relationships with our programmers) and reviewed some fundamental XHTML and CSS skills we should have in our arsenal before beginning the prototyping process.”

“When you’re looking for the next leader in web 2.0 blog design, Hicks starts to look a little too plain, Santa Maria wicked-worn out, and Zeldman like something you might print out, not read online. Where are the leaders of modern blog design? The particular platform (WP, Moveable Type, Typepad, Handcoded) doesn’t matter. It’s what you do with it that counts. This isn’t about prettiest blog, or the best written blog. This is a list of the most groundbreaking, cutting edge blogs out there. You see these blogs and cry, because they’re creatures of fierce untameable beauty.”

“My organization is very numbers-focused. Decisions are made based on quantitative data, and qualitative data alone. Market research, for example, is only trusted if there’s large-scale numbers behind it. Qualitative data is ignored or picked apart. In my view, quantitative data is an important part of decision-making, but qualitative is just as important if not more so. How can an organization that’s used to making decisions only on quantitative data move to being more open to qualitative research?”
