=== LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LEFT TO REGISTER! === The last day to register for EdUI is Tuesday Sept 15th. That's in less than 2 weeks. If you've been waiting to register, now's the time! http://edui.eventbrite.com === ABOUT EDUI === http://eduiconf.org Sept. 21-22 in Charlottesville, VA on the U.Va. Campus If you don't yet know what EdUI is all about, be sure to check out http://eduiconf.org . In short, EdUI (the name is a marriage of "Edu" and "UI") is a conference for web professionals, particularly those in higher ed, that offers full-day workshops and peer presentations on user experience and user interface issues like usability, design, coding, rich media, and social media. === WHAT YOU'LL BE MISSING (BUT HOPEFULLY NOT) === We've got some of the biggest names in web design and development coming to Charlottesville, VA on Sept. 21-22. Want to talk Web Standards with Molly Holzschlag, former group lead for the Web Standards Project, an invited expert to the HTML and CSS working groups at the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and co-author The Zen of CSS Design? Or maybe you want to learn about Usability Testing with Dana Chisnell, founder of Usability Works and author of "The Handbook of Usability Testing". What about building FaceBook Apps with Arin Sime and Wayne Graham? (Wayne wrote the book on the FaceBook API, BTW) Or maybe these are more your thing: * Social Media with Michael Wesch * User Interface Engineering with Jared Spool * Visual Design with Dan Rubin * Creating Great Web Content with David Poteet These are just scratching the surface! Check out the full schedule at http://www.eduiconf.org/program/ Why travel to a large city to see these speakers at twice the cost when they'll be in Charlottesville, Virginia at EdUI? === REFER A FRIEND, WIN A DELL LAPTOP! === We know you're already planning to come to EdUI 2009 (aren't you) to see some of the biggest names in web design and development.
