In this, the very first episode, I talk with Scott Barnes (@mossyblog), the former Rich Platforms Product Manager at Microsoft about a number of things:
- The recent Windows Phone 7 announcement, the UX for the device and some ideas for improvement
- The iPad, vendor lock-in, GoogleOS and device UX in general
- How agile development affects UX and the differences between UX and UI design
- His thoughts on Visual Basic

Windows Mobile 7 the “meh” release.
Can you mix UX with Agile?

Good stuff, nice start to the series. Looking forward to more.
ReplyDeleteGood effort chaps. Not sure what Scott was trying to say about UX in agile environments. UX is important?
ReplyDeleteExcellent!
ReplyDeleteHow often are you thinking of publishing this?
Love the VB discussion at the end :) I too started with Delphi but C# all the way now.
Well done guys. I haven't seen WinMo7 yet but do have a WinMo6 Omnia and its horrible. I hope that with MS controlling more of the platform (hardware) they might be able to get a decent experience. The only thing stopping me from using a JeebusPhone is that I don't want to be locked into the Apple infrastructure. I'm looking forward to MIX to see what the developer story for WinMo7. If they can't attract back some of the floods of devs that have gone to iPhone-land then they're screwed for WinMo8
ReplyDelete@darren No fixed schedule, though I'm planning to keep it close to weekly.
ReplyDeleteReally enjoyed the podcast. Its great to hear Aussie developers talk about stuff they are passionate about.
ReplyDeleteRichard... Thank you
