Bio:
It's really easy since there's more info about me on the net than in my own head, but long story short: a former freelance computer programmer interested in usability since 2006 who never quite managed to become famous with applying it, unfortunately. Now moving towards the mobile platforms where a smooth interaction is even more important and necessary - here I know I'm not going to be famous but at least I'm hoping to have more fun and better clients :) Voila!
Location: Spain
Standard Set Answer:I chose to study this in 2006 while being an MBA student and decided I wanted to know how users interact with e-commerce sites and why so few orders were actually completed back then. My teacher was somehow overwhelmed with this idea and I had to abandon it and the school too. Since then I kept reading books and blogs about the subject but never attended a class (even online) to put everything in my head in its proper order and as a freelance I had very few opportunities to actually involve myself more into this world. Now my curiosity expands beyond e-commerce and websites since I am moving towards building apps for smartphones and new questions seem to pop up every day in this new field.
I am hoping to find here new information about the way people interact with the available technology and a group of really motivated people willing to share their knowledge and not just receive it without asking questions or participating in discussions.
I do not know what "helping with the study group organization" means, can you explain what that involves?
