“Getting Started With User Experience Design”​ as a weekend project

I got email this morning inviting me to sign up for quick UX Design course for free. Being a techie I truly respect the work UX Designers do so I decided to take a quick weekend challenge (plus it is free) and do the course. Getting through the first section already gave me a pretty good glimpse into UX designer mindset.

What UX designers do: 

  1. Take bad experiences away
  2. Match technology to the way people think
  3. Learn how people interact with system
  4. Understand that UX is a human side of technology
  5. Try to get the best possible results by combining person and a technology
  6. Help customers to understand their users so together they will craft delightful and usable experience

What is the difference between UI and UX?

UI (user interface) is similar to interior design where you see pictures of the room.

UX (user experience) is when you are the user of the real room and having user experience by trying to use or interact with anything in there. If room was designed well enough by doing user surveys, learning user needs and pain points, doing research and user validation testing you are going to have best UX in your newly redesigned room.

Three sections to go with the real problem to solve as a part of the course.

Check this course out if you have some spare time on this cold winter weekend considering that you are in DC

    I’m bored to tears at work so I decided to browse your blog on my iphone during lunch break.
    I love the info you present here and can’t wait to take a
    look when I get home. I’m amazed at how fast your blog loaded on my mobile
    .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G .. Anyways, very good
    blog! http://samsung.com

  2. Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you?re working with?
    I?m going to start my own blog in the near future but I?m having a
    hard time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
    The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I?m
    looking for something completely unique.
    P.S My apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask! https://www.m2move.ca
