Pete Gordon on Portable Usability Labs (KDE.News)

KDE.News has an interview with Pete Gordon, on portable usability labs. "The key is in developing user oriented software. When we are developing software for others besides ourselves, we need to understand others. And, the Usability Engineer or the developer that has a free couple hours and can meet with users, can capture that user experience and communicate it back to others. Now maybe Usability Professionals will frown on me saying developers can do it, but I can't help to say they can do it--I am a developer and I do it--a lot. Granted some people are more suited to do it than others."
