Capitalizing on the trend towards greater parallelization, Infragistics will simultaneously be at Software Architect 2010 in London, England on 19-22 October.  There, our own Dr. Tobias Komischke will be speaking on the Human Factors behind UX design.  You'll be able to immediately apply this knowledge to creating more effective Web sites and Web applications.

Web 2.0 vs. Human 1.0
One reason why User Experience is gaining more and more momentum across industries is its rootedness in multiple disciplines that all contribute their own rich traditions and findings. Human Factors belong to the most intriguing and powerful of these disciplines.  Understanding human characteristics and applying this knowledge to the user interface design can greatly boost the User Experience.  In this talk, participants will learn fascinating facts about our human capabilities and limitations.  Based on this, concrete do's and don'ts of front-end design are explained.  The goal is to equip everyone with the concrete knowledge that they can directly apply in the design and evaluation of Web sites and Web applications.
