Helping developers everywhere improve their implementation by upping their UX design game.
Things aren’t well defined, and you’re discovering UX gaps
Your implementations aren’t matching your expectations
It’s been a while since you brushed up on your design skills
Becoming a design oriented developer rounds out your skillset
We start off with high impact & actionable steps to help you immediately by the end you’ll be able to sniff out ‘UX weirdness’ and make improvements right away.
Includes sections:
A good UI can support your digital product’s sense of professionalism, usability & overall enjoyment for users. In this section, we learn to ‘see’ in an entirely new way.
Includes sections: Visual hierarchy, Alignment, Colour, typography
Interactions are hard and essential to creating a sense of cooperation with users. As we delve into this topic, we take a pragmatic approach to building up excellent interactions and gauging the appropriate ‘level’ of communication we want to achieve.
Includes sections: Errors, Success, Status and warnings
Step away from the code, learn how to take a step back and map out the complexity in a visual way, in order to see the problem from a ‘whole system’ perspective. Armed with this knowledge, you can immediately stop churning on the same problem for hours at a time and build out your implementation with maximum reusability and efficiency.
Includes sections: Diagramming and Mapping (capturing complexity visually), Information Architecture (navigation, organizing information & crafting language), Wireframing (rough drawings of screens)
Time to flex your UX & UI knowledge building prototypes of your own. You’ll be able to do it yourself, then you’ll watch ‘over the shoulder’ as we translate requirements and use cases into flows and wireframes – then finally to high fidelity clickable prototypes. Whether you adopt high fidelity design into you workflow or not, you’ll understand the thought process that goes into it – this will help you work out your own designs and interpret other’s designs.
Projects in this section: Data Table (IA, complexity focused), Product Dashboard (flow focused), Filtering interaction (micro-interaction focused)
Ever wondered how UX people validate their hypothesis’? Want to integrate gathering external data into your workflow? Whatever the case, learning the ins and outs of user testing will unlock a new world (and huge learning potential for your side projects and your main gig). We teach you the basics and how you could formulate your own research (quickly and effectively).
Includes sections: UX Research Basics, Interview a user (guided steps for how to run an interview), Perform a usability test (guided steps for how to run a usability test)
UX/devs are creative problem solvers – why not borrow from the UX workflow to inform your coded masterpieces?
We think the UX workflow can help make things smoother, more efficient and more enjoyable.
BUILD REUSABILITY
The ‘whole system’ perspective can help you plan ahead (code fewer things)
