You Will Learn How To

  • Design and generate effective user interfaces to address end user needs
  • Gather requirements through user personas and user stories
  • Configure interfaces that allow users to enter information more quickly and accurately
  • Implement best practices in the development of user navigation for desktop and Web-based applications
  • Incorporate WAI guidelines to ensure support and accessibility for all users
  • Address porting issues associated with mobile devices

Course Benefits

Competitive advantage can be won or lost depending on the design of the user interface. To be effective, modern software application designs must not only support the required functionality but also fully engage users. Throughout this course, you learn to apply proven user interface design practices to gather requirements, reduce user input errors, and provide intuitive navigation pathways through complex applications to ensure usability.

Who Should Attend

User system analysts, system developers, programmers, testers and anyone involved in developing user interfaces. General software development knowledge is preferred but not required.
