   unfortunately, Amazon didn't have the balls to fight New York sales tax. Too many large, high-profile affiliates in NYC, I guess.

   I think one solution is to stop searching for people with magical titles who claim to do everything with a wave of their UX wand, and instead assemble teams of awesome people who can work well with other awesome people. A kickass designer +

   Your example isn't so much UX Designer vs. Visual Designer, but instead an example of a good designer. As Steve Jobs said, "Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. That’s not what we think design is. It’s no

   I figured with Sass being part of the asset pipeline for Rails 3.1, it'd be a good time to turn this Barcamp talk into a video. I welcome any feedback you may have.

   I'd highly recommend Compass, but I did a quick & dirty conversion of this to Sass: https://github.com/nathos/Sass-Boilerplate Please log issues if I goofed anything :) I haven't fully tested all of the mixins. (Sass color math &

    While I think Peter Saveliev's immediate conclusions regarding Khan are incorrect, I do wonder: will Khan be bringing on more instructors to record videos outside his fields of expertise? The Academy has already started a revolution in educ

    Sass, at least with its default SCSS syntax, is a strict superset of CSS3 so it's a good place to start. Your existing CSS files can be processed by Sass without changes. Combined with some of the great mixins provided with Compass: http:/

    For the most part, I'd say Apple's compatibility efforts have been equally impressive: * 'Classic' support enabled Mac OS 9 apps to run on OS X for many years. * Rosetta allowed for apps written for a completely different processor architec

    I 'verun into this on Windows XP, but never on Mac OS X. Actually, I don't think Windows 7 forces reboots either, it just installs updates when you shut down or restart.

    User Interface design is a new thing? Since when?! UX may be the trendy new term to slap on your CV, but the concepts certainly aren't new. PS: am I the only one who hates the term "User Experience Designer"? User Interfaces can be design

    Agreed. In reality, many developers have plenty of design experience & skill as well. I like to separate design from pure art, subscribing to the Steve Jobs "design is how it works" mentality. To me, design is as much an engineering dis

    Actually, I'd say that a proper designer actually designs how your site should work. Developers implement, hack, do backend stuff, etc. "Making a site pretty" is what too many coders think they need a designer for at the end of their proj
