Web usability

[jacodewet]

Does anyone know of any local (South African) courses or resources available for web usability?

I managed to find some international seminars, etc, but don't think that I will be that lucky to attend any of them.

http://www.useit.com/ is a handy resource

I suggest you subscribe to Jeff Atwood's Blog, CodingHorror, he talks a lot about web usability.

Here's some good examples of his stuff:
Treating User Myopia
Revisiting "The Fold"

Thanks all...will look into those. I figured about the local ones. What's wrong with us though...we enjoy torturing people with our local sites?

I'm not sure about local resources but it's the same principles anyway. This is a collection of links to articles on usability by various authors. It's quite a lot to get through but it's informative! --> http://usableweb.com/
