The Joy of Ux: User Experience and Interactive Design for Developers
"For years now, I've been running around preaching to anyone who'll listen that UX is something that everybody (not just UX people) needs to be doing. Dave has done an excellent job of explaining what developers need to know about UX, in a complete but compact, easy-to-absorb, and implementable form. Developers, come and get it!" --Steve Krug, author of Don't Make Me Think! A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability Master User Experience and Interaction Design from the Developer's Perspective
For modern developers, UX expertise is indispensable: Without outstanding user experience, your software will fail. Now, David Platt has written the first and only comprehensive developer's guide to achieving a world-class user experience.
Quality user experience isn't hard, but it does require developers to think in new ways. The Joy of UX shows you how, with plenty of concrete examples. Firmly grounded in reality, this guide will help you optimize usability and engagement while also coping with difficult technical, schedule, and budget constraints.
Platt's technology-agnostic approach illuminates all the principles, techniques, and best practices you need to build great user experiences for the web, mobile devices, and desktop environments. He covers the entire process, from user personas and stories through wireframes, layouts, and execution. He also addresses key issues--such as telemetry and security--that many other UX guides ignore. You'll find all the resources and artifacts you need: complete case studies, sample design documents, testing plans, and more.
