Wed, April 28Front-End & Experience Engineering
Think about the last time you used something that worked seamlessly. It may be easier to remember the opposite: a tool, product, application, or appliance that left you frustrated. What makes the difference between a user interface that works well and one that gets in the way?
In this session, you will explore the principles behind designing functional user interfaces, including practical dos and don’ts for people involved in creating products. The focus is on interfaces that work well for their users rather than those designed simply to be flashy.
What You Will Learn
Principles for designing functional user interfaces
Practical dos and don’ts when creating user interfaces
How to focus interface design on function rather than visual flash
Who Should Attend
Software Developers, UI Developers, Product Engineers, Technical Leads, and practitioners involved in creating products and user interfaces.
