Here We Grow Again

Cheesy title aside, the AppsLab (@theappslab) is growing again, and this time, we’re branching out into new territory.

As part of the Oracle Applications User Experience (@usableapps) team, we regularly work with interaction designers, information architects and researchers, all of whom are pivotal to ensuring that what we build is what users want.

Makes sense, right?

So, we’re joining forces with the Emerging Interactions team within OAUX to formalize a collaboration that has been ongoing for a while now. In fact, if you read here, you’ll already recognize some of the voices, specifically John Cartan and Joyce Ohgi, who have authored posts for us.

For privacy reasons (read, because Jake is lazy), I won’t name the entire team, but I’m encouraging them to add their thoughts to this space, which could use a little variety. Semi-related, Noel (@noelportugal) was on a mission earlier this week to add content here and even rebrand this old blog. That seems to have run its course quickly.

One final note, another author has also joined the fold, Mark Vilrokx (@mvilrokx); Mark brings a long and decorated history of development experience with him.

So, welcome everyone to the AppsLab team.
