Andy Lark on RD2 Partnership & Dell ITEN Android Application

Oct 5 2010

As part of the effort in developing the recently launched Android Application for Dell, we had a series of iterative reviews with the Dell team. Chris Collins made RD2 his home away from home. Also, Andy Lark visited us in Dallas for a final review and application test drive. We had some informal discussion on how the project was running and captured a few of his thoughts on what he felt was critical about partnerships like ours.

It’s obvious that we are super pleased with how the RD2 team was able to pull this off in three weeks from start to finish. It should also be mentioned though that the Dell team was simply amazing at helping us define these requirements and work hand in hand as part of the team...

When will you read this?

Aug 10 2010

Several years ago, we did some high-level research to find out the optimal day of the week and time of day to post content. When are users most actively online reading blogs, browsing websites, exploring social media networks, etc.? To get a fresh and more current idea on these stats, we browsed through some more recent studies.

RD2 On RD2

Jul 13 2009

We recently posted about some positions we are looking to fill here at RD2. That caused us to think about how we communicate something that’s inevitably going to result in some very important decisions to be made by future RD2′ers and by us here. Ultimately, these have turned into some short, video portraits of our team. So, we pulled out the trusty cameras and went after some un-rehearsed sessions with some of our team members...

Not against soc media (love it), but if the extreme position that biz must "engage or die" were accurate, Apple would be in the dead pool. (via @KathySierra)

Blend Might be Your Next Prototyping Tool

Apr 6 2009

RD2 has been immersed in prototyping with Expression Blend due to a perfect storm of opportunities in recent weeks. First, we have several clients that are taking a serious look at building web and line-of-business applications in Silverlight. We’ve also been working with a great team at Techsys that’s already well-versed in Silverlight workflows...

Explain it Better with Expression Blend

Apr 3 2009

The number of tools and methodologies for prototyping is pretty staggering. Personally my prototyping tool of choice for the past few years has been Fireworks. The 9-slice scaling, custom symbols, UI element library, and the ability to create multiple pages in the same document and share layers across those pages make me incredibly productive in working out UI designs and communicating those designs to a wide range of stakeholders.

But interactivity was a key thing I felt was missing from my process. I am not an expert with Flash, so I never really got into using it for interactive prototypes...
