Join me for a three-hour workshop on web-app design in London on April 17th. I’m giving the workshop once in the morning and again in the afternoon.

We’ll take an in-depth look at my design process. In particular, we’ll discuss specific UI techniques and pitfalls along with best practices for collaboration among designers and developers. I’ll present individual techniques against the wider backdrop of “What really matters” to make software that people love.

I hope to take a lot of questions and learn a lot from the attendees as well, so bring your thoughts and experience!

I just wrapped up a new UI for sharing pages in Backpack. Each Backpack page has a ‘Share this page’ link in the footer.

We decided that a block should appear above the footer when the page is being shared. The mockup will show the most complex state, where someone is sharing the page with their friends and sharing it via a public URL. People normally do one or the other, but we must accomodate the ‘both’ case.
