Usability for Rich Internet Apps

Highly functional and responsive interfaces have long been crafted for the desktop, but bringing that same richness to the web is a still-maturing proficiency for both designers and engineers. In this talk, Nate will share lessons he’s learned from focusing on this specific issue within Yahoo!, and from helping to create the open-source Yahoo! User Interface Library. In particular, he’ll discuss the importance of moving beyond “implementation model” to “mental model”, important new instruments for communicating today’s more complex requirements such as “interesting moment’s matrices”, and a sane approach to creating the toolkits that make it all possible.
