December 7th, 2010 – Agile RTP : UI/UX in the Agile Process – Being agile and mobile!

UI/UX is all the rage, everyone is developing the next “it” product.  But how do your technology decisions and UI Designers/Developers skill sets work in the agile process?  In this brief presentation I will demonstrate how the proper tech choices and up front planning can allow you to move your app from the desktop to the web and onto mobile devices while maintaining a consistent user experience.
Learn the answers to:
  • When should UI/UX get involved?
  • Why is my UI layer technology stack just as important as the server stack?
  • What is AIR and how can it help me?
  • What should I expect from UI/UX Developers/Designers?
  • How does the right planning help create a consistent user experience across platforms?

Samsung Support for AIR

So the recent AdobeMAX conference gave us all a chance to see the role that Adobe will be taking in the mobile space.  But what I found very interesting is how the AIR platform is really taking off.  Hot news was all about the BlackBerry Playbook offering an SDK based on AIR, and other mobile offerings.  I, however, am really excited about AIR on TV.  Adobe has partnered with Samsung to launch AIR on TV.  Because of this I decided to look into purchasing a Samsung TV for our UX group at Railinc.

To start off my search I had to find out what models would support the Samsung App store.  I contacted a support person at Samsung and they provided me with the following model numbers that support the apps, and hence should support AIR apps.

I am sharing this information with you as is.  Please verify before making a purchase.

In LED the models are:

  • UN55C6800UF
  • UN65C6500VF
  • UN60C6400RF
  • UN55C9000ZF
  • UN65C8000XF
  • UN55C7100WF
  • UN55C7000WF
  • UN55C6900VF

In LCD the models are:

  • LN46C750R2F
  • LN46C670M1F
  • LN55C650L1F
  • LN40C560J2F

In Plasma the models are:

  • PN63C8000YF
  • PN63C7000YF
  • PN58C6500TF
  • PN58C6400TF.

This information should help me to narrow down the field, hopefully it will help you as well.

A couple of days have passed since NCDevCon (May 22nd – 23rd) and everything is starting to sink in.  Before I get into a recap of my experience, I just want to give a little background on the event.  NCDevCon is a free conference in Raleigh, NC.  The focus of the conference was Flex/Flash, Air, Javascript, Design, Coldfusion, and overall web development.  The promoters, Dan Wilson and Jim Priest with backup by the TACFUG, do an outstanding job in putting together a quality conference.  And they do it so that attendees do not have to pay a dime to attend the conference. Phenomenal, effort. Continue reading →
