This April Web Directions is going to be throw­ing all the gear in the back of the ute and hit­ting the road for a whistlestop tour of Melbourne, Canberra and Sydney with a work­shop lineup of the best thinkers and edu­ca­tors in the game: the Web Directions 2009 Roadshow.

Andy Clarke — Visual Web Design Masterclass. Designers will be excited to see that Andy is bring­ing this instruc­tive and inspir­ing day of clas­sic lay­out and typog­ra­phy using CSS and stan­dards based markup downunder.

Indi Young — Mental Models. For prod­uct design­ers, researchers and UX pro­fes­sion­als look­ing to cre­ate the best pos­si­ble web prod­ucts by bet­ter under­stand­ing user motivations.

Christian Heilmann — Pragmatic, acces­si­ble JavaScript in a web ser­vices world. Coders and devel­op­ers, save money for your organ­i­sa­tion by get­ting it right the first time with frame­works, APIs and web services.

Brian Fling — Creating Mobile 2.0 Web Apps. Developers with an enthu­si­asm for mobile, this is a great oppor­tu­nity to learn the prin­ci­ples and tech­niques of mobile design and devel­op­ment and apply them to a prod­uct you build over the course of the day.

Lisa Herrod — Web Usability: A Holistic Approach. Particularly in the cur­rent cli­mate, web prac­ti­tion­ers across all roles in the team need to be able to con­duct user research and usabil­ity test­ing. Lisa’s hands on work­shop will give you a host of meth­ods and approaches to imple­ment­ing usabil­ity in the real world.

Grant Young — Engaging social media. For any­one con­sid­er­ing engage­ment in social media on behalf of an organ­i­sa­tion, either at a strat­egy or tac­ti­cal level, who needs to under­stand the oppor­tu­ni­ties, risks, resourc­ing require­ments, tools, and spaces of this excit­ing area.

Schedule

It’s going to be a pretty intense week, but every­one involved is really look­ing for­ward to shar­ing their knowl­edge and expe­ri­ence, and get­ting to know you on your home turf. Check the full pro­gram for details.
