Come and talk to Andrew Hinton about Understanding Context

[fstorr]

Hi, all

UX Book Club PDX is next Thursday. We're going to be talking about Andrew Hinton's fascinating new book, Understanding Context.

"Technology is destabilizing the way we understand our surroundings. From social identity to ubiquitous mobility, digital information keeps changing what here means, how to get there, and even who we are. Why does software so easily confound our perception and scramble meaning? And how can we make all this complexity still make sense to our users? Understanding Context offers a powerful toolset for grasping and solving the challenges of contextual ambiguity. By starting with the foundation of how people perceive the world around them, it shows how users touch, navigate, and comprehend environments made of language and pixels, and how we can make those places better."

Andrew will be joining us virtually to discuss his book, so come along for what should be an interesting evening. If you haven't finished the book, don't worry—you're still more than welcome to come along and join the discussion.
