Hi Vera, Here are some suggestions. A recent book on shopping is Shoptimism by Lee Eisenberg. In general trends are social shopping and mobile. I also recommend a site www.shop.org but you need to be a member to get the really good stuff. Great webinars. And look at your pew internet life surv

Thank you all for your comments. I only have two things left to say: One, Steven, your class sounds like precisely the sort of journey I'd like to see junior designers take. So I apologize for my lack of awareness of it, and therefore my characterization that no such education was happening. Dave

Thanks for sharing your course, Steven. That looks like a fun class. Adam, I like to think that in my own course at SVA, and the others in the curriculum, we are going *way* afield of Polar Bears, far beyond O'Reilly and New Riders. And for god's sake, no Maeda. I'd love to run the curriculum b

Re: [IxDA Discuss] (Possible Spam - Low) Prototyping Tool Recommendations

It's a very nice tool. Depending on what you're looking to prototype though it may be overkill. As someone who knows and enjoys C# and making more robust prototypes, I think it's great in that you can prototype interactions at a much richer level than something like Balsamiq offers. And if the proj

Re: [IxDA Discuss] The Ahistoricity of Interaction Design

It's unfair to expect junior designers, coming straight out of school (or maybe never having gone to design school at all) to be at this level. Does that mean they're not interested? No. But they need the chance to grow. This is the same for almost all disciplines of design (or any other professi

Re: [IxDA Discuss] The Ahistoricity of Interaction Design

Adam, Should good designers read %u201Cin the history of adjacent design disciplines%u201D? Yes. My guess - all responders here agree with that notion. So actually the debate is not around what I perceive as your main point. It is more about tone, language, twitter lists, whose fault it is etc...
