WHY ATTEND?

You will learn how to design applications and interactions that your users will rave about, skills that can not be outsourced, and practices transferable to any software development platform - from two veteran DevCon speakers.

At the conclusion of this 3-day training course, you will have:

A process for identifying and interviewing the stakeholders, conducting design research, and communicating your findings.

An understanding of the principles and practices of interaction and interface design required to make your applications easy to learn and and efficient to use.

A method to translate your designs from research, to sketch, to implementation of the finished application or interface.

You'll come away from this course with the fundamental skills and hands-on experience necessary to design and implement exceptional user interfaces. Don Levan presented a preview of this content in his session at the 2010 FileMaker Developer Conference. You can download the slides and handout from that presentation by visiting:

How can I afford a training on Interface and Interaction design?

It may be the best investment you can make in yourself. As software designers, our businesses depend on our ability to create products that help people get things done. If your designs are effective, people using your applications may achieve their personal and business goals, feel satisfied, effective, and happy. Happy people are a great source of referrals.

In addition, this course will provide you a with a process and set of practices necessary to design and implement larger projects that require less effort to sell.
