User Experience Conference Website There's more than my course at an NN/g conference. You'll find a breadth of other specialized courses and networking opportunities that will put you and your company at the leading edge of the design curve.

Interaction Design course: Go from zero to interaction designer in just three days. You may be coming in cold from engineering or graphic design. You may already be an interaction designer wanting to "fills in the blanks," establishing a more solid theoretical and practical base. I've aimed this course at all of you, covering the needs of both individual contributors and managers. Join me as I teach the Apple method and show you how to not only organize for and come up with successful designs, but sell them to engineering and upper management. It's intensive, yes: A one-semester-equivalent with a strong, real-world bias. However, we have a lot of fun along the way, and you'll leave having worked with a team to design and build a complete project, so you will have not only learned, but experienced everything taught.

Even if it is intuitive, it's inefficient once a search method is learned (easy) so should we build interfaces that support the lazy inefficient approach or should we steer users directly to a search box?

Why does Apple give us list view as the starting point in Contacts (iPhone), not a big fat search box? In Lion and iOS the quickest way to find an app is to hit the Spotlight Search and start typing, yet they give us massive lists to browse?

Debating with a friend of mine why on earth we seem to want to browse or scroll long lists to find something when typing into a search box is so much more efficient.
