UX book club debrief

[Ellen Geraghty]

Thanks so much for taking part in last night's UX book club. It was a
lively discussion helped along by drinks sponsored by Objective
Digital (thanks guys!)

Catherine did a great summary of the book. We are always on the hunt
for people who will do the summary, so if that is something you are
interested in please let us know.

Thanks also to Clause, Ron and Jim who reported back from their
groups, sharing some of the excellent discussions and experience.

There are some photos up on the site :) https://sites.google.com/site/uxbookclubsydney/

For those of you who missed out, Barry Schwart’s Ted talk has been
recommended as a catchup. http://www.ted.com/talks/barry_schwartz_on_the_paradox_of_choice.html
This New Yorker review of the book is great also.

In keeping with the themes of the paradox of choice, we are going to
keep the book list for next time short :) Good suggestion Matty!

Possible books for next time are:

• 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People, What Makes
Them Tick? By Susan Weinschenk (april 2011)
• Communicating the User Experience: A Practical Guide for Creating
Useful UX Documentation (Sept 2011)
• Smart Things: Ubiquitous Computing User Experience Design by Mike
Kuniavsky

Additional suggestions are welcome :

Next book club is Dec 6. Stick it in your diary now!

Matty and Ellen
