For example: what makes a button a button? In this talk, we'll focus on the logical underpinnings of design; drawing on research in the fields of product design and ergonomics. We'll examine the foundations of usability and what it means to interaction design. Finally, we'll explore what it means to "overdesign" an application, and how you can avoid it. Andrew Maier of uxbooth (http://www.uxbooth.com) and Hashrocket (http://www.hashrocket.com) Andrew is a professional front-end developer with interests in interface engineering, usability, and human-computer interaction. He has worked both independently as a freelancer/entrepreneur and as a member of highly focused teams. When he's not blogging about user experience at uxbooth, he can usually be found at the local independent coffee shop, reading books on the subject and sippin' the good stuff.
