UIT 1: In this first episode I introduce myself, my background and then share what the show’s intended purpose is, who it’s aimed at and why create it. I have a bit of a rant at the JS tooling and package ecosystem. I talk about why I believe that UI designers and developers should be more closely aligned on understanding and appreciation of respective skills and processes etc.
Overview of the episode
Who’s it for, and what’s it about?
Why am I creating this?
Format/Frequency
Who’s it for?
UI designers
UI developers
Anyone interested in machine/human interaction
What’s it about?
It’s about the technologies, the people, the state of the UI design and development industry.
UI Therapy name: clarify this (too many frameworks/tooling) it’s a mess and I want to offer help and simplicity here. Barrier to entry in this space. Even for veterans it’s frustrating.
How will I do this?
By being opinionated.
Talking to professionals and experts in their field and sharing their frustrations (so you don’t feel alone).
Being uncool and suggesting that where we’re headed might benefit from looking at the past.
Not just the Web. Also about UI (and sometimes UX) in games (upcoming episode interview game designer), smartphones, consoles, apps; basically things with screens.
Why?
There are plenty of podcasts that are aimed at developers/designers in general and there are also shows about the Web, but ones specifically aimed at UI design AND development as a core focus, the pickings are thin at best.
Format/Frequency
Weekly or bi-monthly
Plan is for interviews, solo diatribes, 'quick cuppa' for short focused content and 'long brew' episodes, where I share case studies or deep dives into topics, tutorials or reviews etc.
