“Till Launch Do Us Part,” by Dan Mall – An Event Apart video

Front-end developers take designers’ pretty pictures and turn them into real-live websites and applications; they convert ideas and sketches into real things that people can use. Yet they rarely get the respect they deserve. It’s time for that to change.

In this 60-minute presentation captured live at An Event Apart Orlando 2018, Dan Mall shares a new design process that’s more inclusive, more collaborative, more productive, and even more fun. You’ll learn to sketch together to be more efficient and effective as a team; to decide in the browser more often; and even to write JSON for your developer. Discover new ways of shipping products at higher quality in record time.
