[DE] #29: Interne Barcamps

What's the self-image of UX professionals? Are we artists? Designers? Consultants? Or more like movie directors? Can we express ourselves within a project? This time, the guys have a little bit of a philosophical discussion.

In dieser Folge geht es nicht nur um die Frage, wie wir auf dem Laufenden bleiben und bewerten können, was wichtig ist, sondern auch um aktuelle Trends.

[English] If we just do our job with information architecture, wireframes and stuff, chances are high to build a useless website with lots of bad content. In his talk at UXcamp Europe, Stefan focusses on the business side of large-scale UX projects. His talk offers food for thought on why we need to align stakeholders, how to do it, and how to sell change management methods.

In der neuen Folge diskutieren Tom und Holger eine steile These von Stefan: Die Cloud wird niemals Realität! Wir besprechen technische, soziale und Sicherheitsaspekte - vor Apples Vorstellung von iCloud.

[DE] #18: Die Cloud

Holger stellt die These auf: Apple ist stockkonservativ! Apple macht alles eine Nummer einfacher. Das Problem ist: Mit dieser Einfachheit bleibt jedoch einiges auf der Strecke, was Computer gut können. Zum Beispiel Apps: Alle Daten die in einer App sind, bekommt man nur ganz schwer in eine andere App. Johannes, Stefan und Tom sehen das teilweise etwas anders.

[DE] #17: Apple - konservativ?

[English] After recording a regular episode, Tom and Holger got into a heated discussion about storytelling - and the recorder was still running.
