| 16:35 - 17:35 | Designers and developers, why can't we all just get along?Joe Stump (digg), Liz Danzico (bobulate), Chris Lea (Media Temple) and Ryan Sims (Virb) will all be joining Daniel Burka to discuss the relationship between designers and developers, a subject that has often been a point of conflict. Both sides often stereotype their counterparts and create an adversarial environment. However, as many of us realize, the strongest work comes out of a collaborative relationship between designers and developers where we rely on the other's strengths. The members of this panel discussion represent both sides and have years of experience building projects in productive teams. They'll discuss where they see problems arising and they'll take your questions on solving these issues in our work. Daniel Burka , Digg & Pownce |
