Project - a self-defined project
If you are an experienced web designer/developer and/or simply want to focus on developing your skills on a particular application or technology this is your chance to define your own way forward.
This is not a free license to diddle around with an application or technology you already know, at least a little. It is an opportunity to focus your efforts and achieve demonstrable professional level competency.
Here are a few examples of acceptable projects for your consideration.
- Application or technology certification, e.g., Adode ACE certification in any Adobe application.
- iPhone application development. Use the free iPhone SDK.
- Learn Ruby on Rails. Build a started web app. Start here: Ruby on Rails.
- Zend framework certification in PHP.
- Sun Java certification.
- Think of some of your own projects that will move your forward.

This project requires a project brief and a project calendar. Use Google Calendar and share your project calendar with me.
The goal of this project
is to have you feeling comfortable planning and managing your own interaction design project. Pay particular attention to design methodologies, see listing under "Resources" above.
You are free to establish, and then meet, your own mileposts/objectives to guide yourself to this goal by the end of this semester.
