I recently read a good article about “<a title="Brining up a Design in the Way it Should Go" href="http://www.northtemple.com/2009/04/27/bring-up-a-design-in-the-w" target="_blank">raising up your design I the way it should go</a>”. It drew parallels between raising children and producing good mature products/designs. One of the things in the article that struck me was the concept of discipline. The article really didn’t go in depth into discipline but provided some good talking points about discipline and design. The more I unpacked these concepts, the more I saw their value in my everyday approach to design and or development. I have broken them down into five bite sized pieces… yum! <a href="http://www.thisisaaronslife.com/5-disciplines-of-successful-design/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I am very excited to have the opportunity to attend <a title="FOWA" href="http://events.carsonified.com/fowa/2009/miami/" target="_blank">FOWA 2009</a> (Future of Web Applications). <a title="Carsonified" href="http://www.carsonified.com/" target="_blank">Carsonified </a>puts on a series of these events which are top notch and very informative.
