meshU Afterthoughts
I was able to attend meshU yesterday, which is a one day event held in Toronto, Canada, that runs best practice and how-to workshops for designers, developers, project managers or anyone in the web technology industry.
During my day at meshU I was able to catch great presentations by Kevin Hale of Wufoo, Daniel Burka of Digg, Jon Lax of Teehan+Lax and John Resig of jQuery. I was intrigued by what each had to say during their workshop and I was able to take back something from each one. Especially Daniel Burka’s workshop on “Iterative Design Strategies” which hit on some design practices that I think every designer should try to adhere to, some of which I follow already. You can view the slides Daniel used in his presentation here. You can also download the slides used in Kevin Hale’s workshop, “How to Design for Love” here.
All in all, I had a great time at meshU. Met some really cool people and also got a free t-shirt with my logo on the front.
We Have Lift Off!
This site has been in the works for quiet some time now and after putting it off due to higher priorities and after a couple redesigns of the mockups I’m happy to say it’s finally live. I do have to say designing a website for yourself can be a challenging task. I’ll try to write a follow-up post to this with what helped me finally get a design that I was happy with.
Sooooo, welcome and thanks for visiting. JeffSarmiento.com will be my new home on the web where you can find out what I’m up to, see examples of some of my work and once and a while you’ll find a blog post on design and other things that interest me.
Have a nice day.
