Geek Night - Usability Design September 20, 2008

For our Geek Night this month we plan to bring up an interesting topic
- Usability Design

ThoughtWorks Pune is proud to host Abhijit Thosar - Usability Guru

Abhijit has over 20 years experience in the design and development of
products based on emerging technologies. He joined Human Factors
International, India in 2000 and worked as a project director on over
50 usability projects for clients across domains. Abhijit now works
for Capgemini Pune. His other interests include designing accessible
systems and interfaces for members of the elderly and disabled
population as well as designing research for products and services for upcoming markets. Abhijit is looking forward to an interactive session where he wants to share case studies from his experience.

About Geek Night:
As some of you may know, we at ThoughtWorks have been organizing
something called a 'Geek Night' for some time now. A Geek Night is an informal gathering where we pick a hot technology topic and proceed to discuss it and learn from each others' experience and perspectives.
The meeting takes about two hours inclusive of eating/drinking (soft
drinks only *wink*) and heckling the presenters. We generally plan it
on Saturday evenings so that our peers from other organizations can
join us too.

The topics for these Geek Nights may range from cutting-edge
technologies like JRuby to proven open source tools like Hibernate or
Spring. And sometimes we indulge in Code Jams where we get our laptops in the room and go about solving a problem and discuss our solutions till the food is over.
