The main 'tool' any non-visual (which I take you to be) interaction designer needs is communication. You're in trouble by the likes of the above post. I doubt MS will appreciate you learning (arch-rival SUN's) Java or reading (ex-Microserf) Cooper. I also doubt they'll consider you for UI if that's not what your degree is in... What's going on here, are you changing your mind at the 11th hour? If so, you should consider looking at a Masters program in UI. IP: Logged | |
