Become more mindful of the user when building digital products, and learn how to integrate a user-centered approach into your thinking as a web or app developer. This book shows you how the user experience is the responsibility of everyone involved in creating the product and how to redefine development principles when building user-centered digital products. There are still many organizations that are not design driven, and the gap between stereotypical design and development teams needs to be bridged in order to build digital products that cater to the needs of real people. We are at a point where we see organizations that cannot bring the user experience into their core thinking falling behind their competitors. You'll see how to increase the level of UX maturity within any organization by tackling what is possibly the biggest stumbling block that stands between design and development: putting user needs ahead of system efficiency. UX for Developers shows how you can adjust your focus in order to be more mindful of the user when building digital products. Learn to care about what you build, not just for the system’s sake, but for those who will use what you build. What You'll Learn Understand what it means to build websites and applications for the user, rather than from a developer’s perspective. Review the soft skills required to build more usable digital productsDiscover the tools and techniques to adopt a user-focused approach to development.Improve communication throughout design and development, especially between developers and non-developers. Who This Book Is For Primary audience is Web/app developers that are looking to understand what it takes to build usable digital products. Secondary audience is UX Designers who are looking to understand the viewpoint of developers; Project managers and stakeholders who need to facilitate better working relationships between developers and designers.

This hands-on guide will teach you simple-to-advanced steps of user experience design. It starts from idea concept evaluation, product research, user interface design, and design implementation in code. We focus not only on the UI or design, but also on other things that are connected to it. UX has its own process that requires its own sets of ...

This book provides a framework for integrating complex systems that are problem-centric, human-centered, and provides an interdisciplinary, multi-methodological purview of multiple perspectives surrounding the human factors/human actors within living ecosystems. This book will provide useful theoretical and practical information to human factors, human-computer interaction, cognitive systems engineering personnel who are currently engaged in human-centered design or other applied aspects of modeling, simulation, and design that requires joint understanding of theory and practice.

"Which would you rather have: A rich design or a fast user experience? Users want both, but sometimes the interplay between design and performance feels like one side's gain is the other side's loss. Design and performance are indeed connected, but they aren't opposing forces. Instead, they complement each other. The trick for us as designers and developers is figuring out how to make it work. In this video presentation, Steve Souders, former Chief Performance Yahoo! and Google head performance engineer, explains a process that brings design and performance together at the beginning of a project to deliver a web experience that's both fast and rich. Learn how to place emphasis on early prototyping and tracking performance from the get-go. Developers will benefit by participating in the product definition process, while designers will benefit from understanding more about how designs are implemented. You'll also discover new metrics that focus on what a user actually sees as the page loads. With this video, you'll learn how to bridge the technical and language gaps that, so far, have hindered the seamless creation of great user experiences."--Resource description page.

For years, User Experience (UX) has not been a primary focus area for businesses and organizations. Established brands have garnered significant success on the power of their brand name and the credibility that came with it. The “you buy what I make” thought has dominated the “I will make what you want” approach which has led to UX designers battling between designing strategies for end-user or for the business heads. The digital revolution vows to change this approach as enhanced customer experience is directly proportional to profits and growth. Organizations that are not adaptable to this change will lose ground, resulting in poorer performance and business loss. Enhanced customer experiences is an extension of how well you understand your customers and their needs. It often boils down to simplicity and ease of interactions across conventional as well as digital channels. A well-defined UX strategy will result in overall cost reduction, speed to market, sales productivity, and a larger pool of loyal customers. This book highlights the importance of UX in today’s day and age while establishing the business benefits of this approach for the new-age enterprise. It takes you through key process elements that span multiple disciplines, including user research, market research, information architecture, content strategy, wireframes & prototyping, interaction design, maturity models & checklist, visual design and usability testing. It also compares the traditional and modern approach with trending innovative models that combine the latest technology, design thinking and user experience.
