UX Bookclub Feb 21, 2012 - On a Tangent: NonUX Essays for UXers
This location is shown only to members
Tickets available from Thursday, 19 January at midday GMT
Following the success of our last bookclub where we read a series of essays, we've decided to repeat the format with some essays somewhat tangentially related to User Experience. The reading list is below.
Try to get started on it ASAP - you might not need to read a book but these guys still take time to read and digest.
Thanks again to IG for hosting us - we love you IG Index!
Hope to see you at bookclub soon,
Leisa

Hi, I'm new to the group - not sure if I need to RSVP (android app won't let me) or if I can just rock up on the day?

Hi Craig, definitely need to RSVP I'm afraid. Sold out now but add yourself to the waiting list as we seem to get a lot of changes to the list in the week before the event.

Ah, thanks Lisa. I'm new to Meetup, thought I might have been doing something wrong! I'll add myself to the waiting list.

Junta SekimoriGreat. I found the reading riveting and the discussion well organised. Although I'm strictly speaking not a UX person myself I met like-minded people with great values.
