I spent today at Kelly Goto’s workshop on Interaction Design at Webstock. Kelly is a consummate presenter and came with as much material and hands-on exercise as anybody could possibly cram into one day.
I can never be reminded enough that getting outside your own head is soooo important when you develop for the web.
Scott Berkun reports:
… a stellar job with the conference badges, materials and a gorgeous canvas bag (As Kathy Sierra said, ’stroke the bag’). If you get a chance to speak or attend next year, don’t miss it. They’ll treat you so well you won’t want to leave.

Don’t go, Scott. Don’t goooooo!
Luke Wroblewski has been prolific with his notes from Webstock:
Thanks, Luke!

One thing that really came out as a common thread was the need for focus on people in all of the wonderful stuff we create for the web. … What Webstock means to us is that we’ll be taking a lot of what was discussed and seeing how we can fold the ideas, techniques, and technologies into our core product. We’re very excited and can’t wait to apply what we’ve learned!

johnny reports in Recursive Loop » Webstock ‘08:
It was my first full-scale web event (about time!), and it was everything I hoped it could be! The organizers put together a classy event with great speakers, excellent food and drinks, a cool venue, and a fun vibe. … The conference was absolutely packed with activity and information. A high-resolution experience if there ever was one! … In short, a fantastic experience, and one I will repeat at every opportunity!
He also wrote some very interesting commentary on sessions he attended and speakers he talked with. Thanks, johnny.
