We design tiny worlds that thrive or perish at the whim of a device\'s on/off button.
From apps to web sites, and from emails to video games, often the sole evidence of an experience appears on an illuminated screen.
Increasingly, what we create is something digital.
Every day, people gather around conference tables, jump onto phone calls, draw on whiteboards, stare at computer monitors, and try to build things - we all create.
You will start by covering the principles of UX before going into more diverse topics, including: being human, the art of persuasion, and the murky waters of process.
From Chinese rail workers to UFOs, you will cover a lot of territory, because the experiences that surround you are as broad and varied as every age, culture, and occupation.
Poisonous blowfish, Russian playwrights, tiny angels, Texas sharpshooters, and wilderness wildfires all make an appearance.
Rather than grasp concepts through a barrage of facts and figures, you will learn through stories.
This book enables you to participate fully in discussions about UX, as you discover the Fundamentals of user experience design and research.
