UXmas is back!
uxmas.com, the digital advent calendar for UXers that we created last year with the team from Thirst Studios last year is on again for 2013—bigger and better than ever.
Every day throughout December, we’re unwrapping a new gift for the UX community. And just like a real advent calendar, you never know what you’re going to get!
Last year we served up video presentations from Jared Spool, Jeff Sauro and the U1 group; there were book excerpts from SitePoint and Rosenfeld Media under the tree; and a ton of thought-provoking articles from some of the leading minds in the industry—folks like Donna Spencer, Stephen Anderson, and Nick Finck. This year will include a bunch of newer faces with fresh ideas and insights, with a brand spanking new design to boot.
One of the joys of running the show is that we get to liaise with the leaders and luminaries that we’ve looked up to for years. And once again, we’re delighted that so many authors have generously donated their time to make UXmas 2.0 something special this year.
Without giving anything away, we’re very excited about some of the new faces that have placed gifts for you under the UXmas tree this year. There are tutorials, big-picture ideas, comics, and more on your way.
