After seven months of the hard work to improve road safety measures in Jordan’s schools, streets and home zone, Hikmat Road Safety published their report for the progress during the months of June, July and August.
The Hikmat Road Safety Program was established by Maher & Randa Kaddoura in January of 2008, after the tragic loss of their 17 year old son to a pedestrian road accident in January of this year.

The speaker’s notes with all of the helpful information for a usability specialist or a web designer had a very essential tip that the usability is all about; Entertain Your User. That sentence was good enough to deliver the most important factor of usability and user experience. Read the full post...
I arrived yesterday to Berlin to attend RailsConf Europe – Berlin 08 as Akhtaboot’s ambassador. I arrived to the conference’s venue at 9:00AM as scheduled for the first session.
The first session was common for all of the participants so they opened the 3 ballrooms of the conference to be one.

That session very helpful and a good start for me. Read the full post...
