Dmitry will talk about Raphaël: why he wrote it, how it works and what it can do for you and your web app / web site.
Dmitry has over 8 years experience in creating web applications. Having started as a back end developer, more recently he has changed his orientation to front end development and even pure design. These days he spends his working hours trying to embrace a wide range of front end technologies while working as a JavaScript Developer for Atlassian.
He is also the creator of Optimus, the Microformats transformer, as well as a Raphaël—JavaScript vector library. At any given moment he is always working on three secret projects, though no one knows where he gets the time for any of this.
Most web shops use wireframes to design the layout and interaction of a website or online application. They even show them to clients. Tom will make an impassioned case for relegating wireframes to sketching in the ideation phase and using high-fidelity prototypes for actual interaction design.
Tom Voirol has been building web sites since 1994. He has done everything from IA to front-end coding to back-end CMS development with the notable exception of graphic design, which he can't do to save his life. Tom has managed digital agencies in Switzerland and Australia and has been a project director on small to very large projects. His traumatic experiences with wireframes made him a convert to the bliss that is prototyping. He is looking forward to a robust debate following his presentation.
