Dennis Lembree, co-founder of Refresh Detroit, sent me a message about some great sounding job opportunities at his company in California. Great to hear from you Dennis! Thinking of you in California reminded me how warm the temperatures must be on the West Coast as we deal with negative double-digit temperatures with the wind chill here in southeastern Michigan.

Dennis’s company is Yodlee Inc., located south of San Francisco. If you’re interested in any of the positions, contact Dennis directly at dlembree at gmail dot com or Brittni Dickens at bdickens at yodlee dot com. If you contact Brittni, use Dennis’s name as a reference. The job opportunities are:

-Director Sales Operations
-User Interface Manager
-2 Product Marketing Managers
-2 Senior Engagement Managers
-Consulting Sales representative
-Regional Sales Managers (East, West, and Midwest)

More details about the positions can be found on Jobvite.

For our first meeting of 2008 Refresh Detroit will be partnering with the Michigan Usability Professionals and speaker/usability expert Dave Mitropoulos-Rundus.

Subject:

Live Website Usability Evaluations:
Branding, Messsage, Content, and Usability.

Commercial web sites wither or thrive based on their usability, upon
the translation of brand image to the web site, and the clarity of
their marketing message. But what about web sites for non-profit
organizations? Whether organizing volunteers, educating people, or
gathering donations… for the non-profit web site, usability,
branding, message, and content matter!

Come and experience Dave Mitropoulos-Rundus conducting evaluations on
a number of non-profit web sites that have been submitted by
attendees. This session provides you with a rare opportunity to see it
live, experience the interactions with the stakeholders and designers,
and, time and bandwidth permitting, discuss YOUR site directly with
Dave.
Time, Date, Location:

This meeting will be on January 30th, 2008, from 6-8:30 pm at the
Perficient office in Livonia.

events@miupa.org.

Hi all,

Just wanted to pass on these excellent JavaScript tutorial videos by Douglas Crockford. They are in 30 minute chunks so easily digestible. I’ve been watching the smaller sized option and it seems to keep up better than the larger one, but these are a real gift if you struggle with JavaScript like I do. In fact, he even says that even experienced programmers (like myself) often just “get by” with JavaScript but his excellent presentation did answer a lot of questions for me.
