User Experience Blog - March 2009

• Salesforce Browser Support and Configuration Doc

  Phil Choi Mar 18, 2009

  We recently released a new document listing the official browsers that Salesforce supports.  As noted previously in the User Experience blog, Internet Explorer 6.0 is still supported, but we recommend Firefox 3.0 for the best performance.  If you want to continue using IE, we strongly recommend that you upgrade to IE 7.0 and apply all Microsoft® hotfixes.  IE 7.0 is faster, more reliable, and better supported than IE 6.0.  Salesforce also supports Safari 3 for both Mac and Windows platforms.

  The new Browser Support and Configuration tip sheet also includes configuration recommendations to maximize browser performance for both Firefox and IE.

  As new browsers and versions are supported, we'll update the Browser Support and Configuration tip sheet with all the details.

• IxDA Redux this weekend in San Francisco

  Ian Swinson, Lead User Interface Designer Mar 12, 2009

   Earlier last month, 460 interaction designers converged in Vancouver to discuss, debate, and share a spectrum of topics that are important to our community of practice. The Interaction09 conference featured three days of tactical workshops, smart sessions filled with practical advice, and a fantastic collection of inspirational keynotes.

  Many of the contributors to the event came from the Bay Area so the local IxDA group is hosting a redux of the conference featuring several of the local speakers. If you'd like to attend here are the details:

  Time: March 14, 2009 from 12pm to 5pm
  Location: Adaptive Path
  Street: 363 Brannan Street
  City: San Francisco

  I was honored to be selected this year to speak at both the full conference and the redux. My presentation was called Postcard Patterns: An Agile UI Pattern Creation Process and focuses on using Agile methods to improve documentation efficiency, efficacy and productivity.

  There are a number of speakers contributing at the half-day event and it promises to be a fun and informative event. If you're interested in attending, the details can be found at the IxDA-SF site
