KEYNOTE SPEAKER: STEVE KRUG
The conference and program committees for HighEdWebDev 2005 are pleased to announce this year's keynote speaker, author and usability expert Steve Krug.
"After a decade writing computer manuals, in 1989 Steve Krug moved up the food chain to usability testing and interface design so he could fix the problems instead of explaining them.
"Since then, he's evaluated and improved interfaces for a wide variety of clients, primarily in online services and the Web, including Apple, AOL, Netscape, the late, lamented Excite@Home, BarnesandNoble.com, Lexus.com, and Circle.com (originally Interactive Bureau).
"His consulting firm, Advanced Common Sense ('just me and a few well-placed mirrors') is based in Chestnut Hill, MA.
"He currently spends most of his time reviewing existing sites and designs for new sites, conducting usability workshops, and helping clients resolve thorny interface problems."
"It's a fact: People won't use your Web site if they can't find their way around it. ... Don't Make Me Think is for people in the trenches—the designers, the programmers, the webmasters, the project managers, the marketing people, and the folks who sign the checks. Krug's clearly explained, clearly absorbed principles will help you arrive at ... practical answers so you can make difficult technical, aesthetic, and structural decisions."
