Thank you to every one involved with the LDS Tech Talk.
I had the great opportunity to go to the 1st Tech Talk put on by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Tech department. Now when you think about a tech department for a church it is easy to assume something on a small scale. But what they are doing in the church is anything but small. I am very familiar with the church and it still blows my mind to think of the infrastructure that is set up.
I mainly went to get a glimpse of the Interaction Design Department but was also impressed by other sessions they had. Tadd Giles was the presenter and did a wonderful job. Tadd is the Director of User Experience. He discussed how the church has combined business analysis, interface design, visual design, and HTML/CSS coding skills into one role and how it has produced great results. He also showed some of the current design work they are doing and what challenges face them in the future.
There are some great designers that work for the LDS Interaction Design Dept. including names like Jason Lynes, Gilbert Lee, John Dilworth, and Cameron Moll.
Thanks for giving us a look into your world and I hope to get the skills to work along side of you on day.
