Usability Testing for Everyone
In this workshop you will learn how to start bringing users into your design process, whether you're green-fielding a software product or improving one already in production. Through practical examples, hands on application and lots of resources for further learning, you will leave armed with the skills to ensure any release of your product sufficiently solves the problem at hand.
Attendance for the workshop is limited to twenty so register now!

Daddy, where does HTTP come from?
Do you design or build software for the web? Think that HTML pages have to end in ".html"? Thought that a RESTful web service was a yoga session for people bitten by radioactive spiders?
HTTP is about much more than just HTML and CSS. It's a powerful and very flexible language between servers and clients that's often misunderstood and underused. Together, we'll dig into the history of the HTTP protocol and how it evolved. Dont take this transport layer for granted. Its not merely the pipe that you use to deliver your beautifully cascading style sheets to your users. It is, of course. But it's so much more. You might be surprised what's in there.
Please Note: LeanDog is temporarily relocated due to renovations on the boat. They are now located at Burke Lakefront airport (address below). You will need to go to the door farthest from the parking lot, all the way to the east end of the building.

It's that time again… Time to hoist a pint or two with your fellow Cleveland web nerds (or geeks if you prefer) and take a break from the bleak winter weather. We'll be back in March with a great presentation so stay tuned.
