Why (and How) to Rapidly Prototype for Multiple Devices
The online world is changing, and new devices are becoming both more important and more varied.
About This Talk
Building prototypes for web sites and web apps is getting harder, and the need to have a working prototype to use and get feedback on is more critical than ever. In this talk we'll show you how to use Foundation, a new CSS/HTML/JS framework, to quickly prototype sites and web apps that work on any kind of device, at any resolutions, with a variety of capabilities and constraints. The key to success in the new online world is rapid prototyping and iteration, so come hear about a slick new way to get things done.
Great talk on the reasoning behind tradeoffs across platforms.

Design That Drives Action
...think beyond a single landing page and earn powerful bumps in sales through conversion actions.
About This Talk
In this talk, we'll dive deep into the psychology of web users and show powerful examples to help illustrate how marketers can think beyond a single landing page and earn powerful bumps in sales through conversion actions. Bryan's experience with dozens of the world's most transformative startups has given him unique insight into how users behave on the web and what drives lifecycles of customer success.

Turning Mediocre Products into Awesome Products
How many product ideas never make it to market? We believe what's missing is a holistic approach to design for people, inside and outside the organization.
About This Talk
How many product ideas never make it to market? Why does this happen so often? ZURB doesn't believe it's because of bad ideas. We believe what's missing is a holistic approach to design for people, inside and outside the organization. In this talk we take a practical look at the design process and techniques everyone should know, including:
- Sketching to sell and open up the idea.
- Creating a product blueprint with proof points.
- Finding team overlap between Marketing, Design, and Engineering.
This people-centered, holistic approach to design makes Apple and other innovative companies what they are today. It has helped our 150+ clients create more than a billion dollars in market cap.
Skillfully, and with real-world examples, they showed their audience the 'ZURB-way' of tackling and addressing one of the most challenging dilemmas that many companies seem to be facing these days: the gap among Strategy, Design, and Development.

Learning interaction design is like learning to dance. It's going to be painful, but you are going to get better.
About This Talk
Learning interaction design is like learning to dance. It's all about communication. And the only way you get better is practice, with a lot of different partners. In dancing and design, experience cannot be measured in years, but rather how much deliberate practice you commit yourself to in those years. It's going to be painful, but you are going to get better. Dancing by yourself is fun, but to everyone else, you just look silly.
great stuff from all the speakers today (Matt, Bill and Paul Irish) stuff was just cutting edge and totally inspiring!

Add a New Feature? No. Create A New Product!
When the opportunity arose to rework and improve a core screenshot annotation feature of our flagship product Notable, we didn't do it. Instead, we made a whole new product, and the results have been outstanding.
About This Talk
In this session, we'll discuss the process and surprising results of our new approach.
When it came to building our annotation service, we wanted to be opportunistic and exploit new ways to earn relationships with people. This led us to a no-holds-barred approach to design and development that embraced marketing. We decided to give the team greater freedom to operate. We started fresh without the burden of existing code to work around and without existing customers to manage. We loosened up and challenged ourselves to dive deep and create novel solutions to known shortcomings in the design, interaction and code of Notable. This approach opened us up to a host of secondary benefits.
Perfect for a 20 min session. Good content and engaging presentation.

Nailing the Interactions on Pageless Apps with Backbone.js
Make your users happy by building webapps without page loads.
About This Talk
Make your users happy by building webapps without page loads. People waiting 2,000ms or more for a page on your app to load are losing interest and focus. Learn how to create an interface that responds in less then 100ms with Backbone.js, a JavaScript library created to keep large amounts of JavaScript organized and reusable. Examples from real applications will be used to demonstrate how pageless apps can be used to implement great interactions and make people happy. Both implementation and design decisions will be discussed.

Building Pageless Apps with Rails and Backbone.js
In this talk we explain the benefits of removing page loads from web applications to vastly increase the perceived performance of the app, and allow interactions and transitions that are not possible with a traditional page load.
About This Talk
The bulk of the presentation will be presenting Backbone.js and walking through each of the steps to create a pageless app using Backbone.js and Rails. With each step the design and interaction decisions will be explained, and what not to do with pageless apps will be illustrated.
Matt Kelly should be a keynote speaker. Not just informative presentation, but fun, too. Can we give more than 5 stars?

Super Awesome Interactions with jQuery
jQuery makes it simple to create highly interactive web applications, making it easier then ever to create terrible interactions that send your users running for the hills.
About This Talk
Applying basic design tools like sketching, design before implementation, and interaction grids will ensure your users cry with joy, rather then cringe with disgust.
In this talk we show you how to design super awesome interactions for jQuery and jQuery UI. Implementation details and design decisions behind Notableapp.com, Verifyapp.com, and Bounceapp.com will be shared to demonstrate how these design principles are applied to real sites.
Matt Kelly gives one of the sickest talks on "Super Awesome Interactions" from jQuery Conf Boston. Must see!
