[IxDA Discuss] "Manifesto of the UI" - A UI Developer's POV

[W Evans]

"It just highlights to me this notion of people are doing interaction design
without knowing they are doing it."

Absolutely. When I just read that - I was reminded of something Dan S. wrote
in the first chapter of Designing for Interfaces that argued that exact same
point. People who don't even know what interaction design is - are thinking
about and doing interaction design - some very competently.

And from a previous conversation about IxD versus ID, I want to ecco Mark
Schraad's comment that a lot of that discussion/definitions is also handed
pretty eloquently by Mssr. Saffer. If any of you haven't read it - shame on
you! Seriously - it's worth the $$ to pick it up - because he delves into
all these things that we discuss everyday.

Designing for Interaction: Creating Smart Applications and Clever Devices,

*On an unrelated note - I do like what he has to say about CSS/WPF*:

**"*I am confident that CSS is an excellent technology for typography,
however after using Flex and WPF I am not convinced that it will ever
translate into a full-on styling engine. Using real-time vectors, gradients,
and animations is something that a styling engine needs to support: and it's
something that CSS simply is not made to handle."
