Doug Bowman, one of the most important designers on the web, hasn’t spoken at a conference in quite a while. He’s coming out of retirement now to speak at the upcoming, not-to-be-missed Web Directions North conference. For this special Digital Web interview, John Allsopp sat down with Doug to discuss what Doug has been up to, what he thinks the most exciting developments have been on the web in the past year, where he hopes to see the power of the web used in the future, and what he’d like to explore at Web Directions North.

Most of us learned to make Web sites mired in “view source” code, through careful self study, and from those generous souls who share their tips and techniques through tutorials. If you're one of the lucky ones, you already know of the inimitable Veerle Pieters. A Web uber-talent, she's been helping others with her in-depth Web design tutorials for years. If you haven't been introduced, join our own managing editor Carolyn Wood as she and Veerle talk about process, working with clients, and of course, how to pronounce Veerle correctly.
