Building applications that work for real people March 2, 2007

A one-day workshop on how to develop software for the desktop and the web that is user-friendly, robust and accessible.

What will the workshop cover?

- Understanding who your users are
- How to gather user requirements in a meaningful way

- Interface design principles and techniques for web-based applications
- How to do user testing and evaluate the usability of your applications
- Accessibility tools and APIs (Windows)

Specific techniques for various development languages and platforms will be demonstrated.
