	<description><![CDATA[I tend to think I'm a pretty lucky guy. Not only am I at a unique place in my design career, so too is the web. Newcomers to the industry probably don't see it the way I do though. For the novice things might appear altogether grim; as print & graphic design go the way of the dodo, the term "web design" is far too generic (with far too many manifestations) for anyone to really know where to begin. ]]></description>

	<description><![CDATA[If practitioners have a firm grasp of the concepts behind A/B testing as well as tools to aid them in the process; the only thing deterring would be testers is the notion of "what to test," and "why?"

	<description><![CDATA[UX designers frequently take a holistic approach to the websites they architect by considering many interrelated factors at the same time. In this post, author Bill Scott provides a worthy counterpoint; a form of reductivism by which we might distill more salient aspects of a user's total experience. ]]></description>

So to that end, we sent out a few questions to the speakers of the UX London conference asking them a couple of questions about how they got started and where they see our industry going. The responses follow. Enjoy! ]]></description>
