I’m trying the PowerPoint file (which Google has not HTMLified) and I find it has many code samples and screenshots intermingled with the slides.

Booboo?

BTW, your preview font colours are dark green on lighter green.

I think you presentation realy hit the spot. For me being a coder your ideas about how IA should deliver their work realy makes sense. I think that it would make communication between IA and coders a whole lot easier (with common names etc.) and leaves more time to focus on the user experience insted of clearing out misunderstandings. Great work!

It’s a shame that I couldn’t read the HTML version. I tried to escape the frame by selecting “Maximize” with Opera’s context menu, but it would always go back to the framed version. Whether I viewed your page with CSS enabled or disabled, I still had a difficult time reading it. With it enabled, much of the text overlaped itself on the 1st slide, making it impossible to read. When I disabled the text & tried to read the text in the left frame, I had to scroll left & right just to read it, because I couldn’t adjust the frame. I honestly don’t understand the significance of making frames unadjustable. I looked @ the images, but they were too small.

I pretty much gave up about 1/3 of the way. I don’t mean to be negative, but I haven’t seen a page like that in ages.

That being said, I’m sure that you have a logical explanation for it. I do agree with you on what appears to be your main point: when you are dealing with web pages you are dealing with a database. I honestly wondered why nobody said anything about this. Most people seem to think of it as a presentation.

Thanks for your time.

Sincerely, & with thanks,

Thank you for an excellent presentation — I’m in a team of 1.5 instead of part of a cast of thousands, but the points you made had a lot of resonance for me nonetheless.

And I’m glad you liked my notes. (I was the gal typing like a mad freak about 5 rows back.) I’m happy to have them myself, now, as I try to put all of this into practice.
