Over the past 10 years, my interests and self-education have been: Programming > Web Programming > Web Design > Usability (2000) > Human Factors/HCI > UI design (2002) > narrowly-defined IxD > IA > broadly-defined IxD/IA/UX (2004/05)
Over the same time frame, however, my work (mostly at short-lived, student-oriented jobs) was: IT support > Web Programming > IT+hardware support (2000) > UI+Web Design > Database Programming > IA+IxD (although I didn't call it that at the time, 2002) > hardware assembly/troubleshooting > Web Design > framework-level application programming > OpenGL programming (3d computer graphics) > Information Visualization > Web Design+Programming (2004) > IA > InfoVis > IxD > Virtual Reality + OpenGL programming > lab-based HF/Psych research > "expert on a mountain"-styled heuristic evaluations (not my idea) > trying to get a 'real' IxD job I spend a lot of time trying to explain that I'm not just a techie, seemingly in the same way many IxDs have to explain that they're not just visual artists. :-/ ---------------------------- Steven Pautz [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://stevenpautz.com/ ________________________________________________________________ *Come to IxDA Interaction08 | Savannah* February 8-10, 2008 in Savannah, GA, USA Register today: http://interaction08.ixda.org/ ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
