Interaction Design (IxD) is poised to become one of the main liberal arts of the twenty-first century.

Brief

I love IxD (Interaction Design), I spent about 5 years freelancing that field ..
At first, my goal was encapsulated within Flash Platform. I was doing Web Design because I like Art Illustration from the first place (Oil Painting and such) ..
Then I hit the development career by learning ActionScript, what a lovely programming language, it has a lot of fun ..
At some point later I learned PHP and MySql in order to develop RIA (Rich Internet Applications) with Flash front-end ..
Then I used Flex and AIR as my primary tools .. after my favorite traditional pencil and paper of course ..
And recently I’m learning Python to extend my technical abilities a bit more ..

From my point of view, I see that Design and Programming are not actually separated; they serve each other to deliver the best user experience, Finally I realized that there’s no way to dig deeper in my field with these knowledge only ..

To be an Interactive Developer you should be part designer, part programmer, and part audio/video editor with an active and growing interest in 3D technologies, and above all, the user oriented thinking .. It’s all about action and response ..
But .. reaching the mind and touching the eye by taking care of details leads to evolve the Design part, and I am not referring to the Art aspect only, but also the Mental, Emotional and Physical aspects ..
Combining all above we can form the very idea of being an Interaction Designer ..

This blog represents my personal thoughts I have in mind and some technical challenges passing by ..
I don’t think that I will ever stop, my battery still full.
