The user experience (UX) of an app can be key to its success but is often something that developers don't know how to approach or is considered a part of design that is intimidating and overlooked.
Mobile apps are a big part of people's lives, with apps for just about anything. An app's UX can help it stand out and be the key to its success. But often, developers find UX intimidating and don't know where to begin.
Usability Matters gives app developers practical advice and guidance on how to improve the UX of their mobile apps on any platform. After they read this book from cover to cover, they'll find themselves reaching for it again and again as a reference each time they develop a new app.
Just because a mobile app works doesn’t mean real people are going to like it. Usability matters! Most mobile developers wind up being part-time designers, and mastering a few core principles of mobile UI can make the difference between app and crap.
Usability Matters is a guide for developers wrestling with the subtle art of mobile design. With each expertly presented example, app developer and designer Matt Lacey provides easy-to-implement techniques that instantly boost your design IQ. Skipping highbrow design theory, he addresses topics like gracefully handling network dropouts and creating intuitive data inputs.
Read this book and your apps will look better, your users will be happier, and you might even get some high-fives at the next design review.
This book is for anyone who is developing an app and wants to create a great user experience, regardless of mobile platform.
