Interactive Primer Notes: Embedded UX Makes Good UX

Much like chocolate and peanut butter, User Experience Designers and Interactive Developers just go together. Mike and Nick gave us a glimpse into their processes and explained how UX works at The Nerdery.

Your Facebook Q’s Have Been A’ed

You set up your Facebook questions and our unstumpable developers Konr, Dan, and Jon knocked them down. The video below is spliced together from the Tuesday and Thursday sessions which explains quick wardrobe and host changes.

Our next Interactive Primer is next week and we’re answering your questions about Facebook. Be sure to RSVP and send us your questions.

Requirements Gathering Wrapup

Last week Ryan and Scott gave us a glimpse into what a Solutions Engineer does here at The Nerdery. By the end of this video, you’ll stop gathering requirements and start hunting them.

Are you a fan of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and prefer to make up your own commentary for the presentation? Today is your lucky day. We have the slide deck below for that exact reason.

Agency Primer Notes: The wrap up of Mobile Apps: Web vs. Native

Last week User Experience Manager, Mike and Front-end Developer, Tony hosted The Nerdery’s Agency Primer on Mobile Apps: Web vs. Native. If you missed it, dry your eyes, we’ve got all the goods right here.

This month we tried something new where we recorded the screen and audio for people who missed the webinar. Now, instead of watching two people talking and looking off screen, it’ll be like you were really there.

Facebook webinar: Go see it

“The Social Network” beat our Facebook webinar at the box office last week – it really wasn’t even close. The flick also jumped out to an early lead in terms of Oscar buzz, but time will tell. Either way, our Facebook webinar accomplished exactly what all our monthly agency primers set out to do. Below, you’ll find slides of our presentation, along with a bootleg video of Facebook 2: Electric Boogaloo. Go see it.
