<p>Touch introduces physicality to designs that were once strictly virtual, and puts forth a new test: How does this design feel in the hand? Josh Clark’s new book, “Designing For Touch,” guides designers through this new touchscreen frontier, and is the launchpad for today’s Big Web Show discussion between author Clark and host Jeffrey Zeldman.</p> <p>In a fast-paced, freewheeling conversation, Josh and Jeffrey discuss why game designers are some of our most talented and inspiring interaction designers; the economy of motion; perceptions of value when viewing objects on touchscreen versus desktop computer; teaching digital designers to think like industrial designers (and vice-versa); long press versus force touch; how and when to make gestures discoverable; and much more.</p>

<p>Josh Koenig, Co-Founder & Head of Product for Pantheon Website Management Platform, is Jeffrey Zeldman's guest in "An Infrastructure For Websites," Episode 138 of The Big Web Show ("Everything Web That Matters.")</p> <p>Josh & Z discuss how the industry is evolving, how smartphones are driving web growth, integrating a pull request with a server, the connection of the web to real life (and the fact that it’s no longer a meaningful distinction), the idealism of the early web, why technology doesn't solve human problems, why truly revolutionary change occurs only when new technologies fade into the background, and a future in which the back-end grunt work of website creation is automated.</p> <p>Josh Koenig is a Co-Founder and Head of Product for Pantheon, the website management platform for WordPress and Drupal. Prior to that he was a founder at Chapter Three, a web consultancy based in San Francisco. Josh has been involved in building the internet with Open Source and Free software for nearly two decades.</p> <p>Brought to you by <a href="http://braintreepayments.com/bigwebshow">Braintree</a> (To learn more, and for your first $50,000 in transactions fee-free, go to BraintreePayments.com/BigWebShow).</p>

<p>Digital law specialist Heather Burns is Jeffrey Zeldman’s guest. Heather is the author of The Web Designer’s Guide to the Consumer Rights Directive, a “recovering web designer,” and the founder of a monthly ebulletin with digital law and policy news you need to know.</p> <p>She explains: “While I am not a lawyer, the legislators who create digital laws are not internet users, much less designers or developers. Therein lies the problem. I view my work on digital law and policy as an attempt to build a bridge between the two parties.”</p> <p>Heather and Jeffrey discuss absurd and unjust laws governing transactions on the web, including the birth of the EU cookie law (all 27 versions of it), the slow pace of government versus lightning internet development, and why web design and development need consultative status and a seat at the table.</p> <p>Links for this episode:</p><ul><li><a href="http://webdevlaw.uk/about" class="link" target="_blank">About Heather</a><br /></li><li><a href="https://sanctimoniousclaptrap.wordpress.com/" class="link" target="_blank">Sanctimonious Claptrap: Absurd Quotations by Internet Lawmakers & Influencers?</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://webdevlaw.uk/" class="link" target="_blank">Web Dev Law</a><br /></li><li><a href="https://idea15.wordpress.com/" class="link" target="_blank">WebDevLaw blog</a><br /></li><li><a href="https://idea15.wordpress.com/2015/10/22/safe-for-work-vatmoss-and-the-adult-industry/" class="link" target="_blank">Safe For Work: VATMOSS and the Adult Industry</a><br /></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/idea15webdesign" class="link" target="_blank">@idea15webdesign</a><br /></li><li><a href="https://twitter.com/webdevlaw" class="link" target="_blank">@webdevlaw</a><br /></li><li><a href="http://bartleby.com/73/1002.html" class="link" target="_blank">"The Law Is A Ass" – Charles Dickens</a><br /></li></ul><p>Brought to you by <a href="http://braintreepayments.com/bigwebshow">Braintree</a> (To learn more, and for your first $50,000 in transactions fee-free, go to BraintreePayments.com/BigWebShow).</p>
