Book Description
An understanding of psychology—specifically the psychology behind how users behave and interact with digital interfaces—is perhaps the single most valuable nondesign skill a designer can have. The most elegant design can fail if it forces users to conform to the design rather than working within the "blueprint" of how humans perceive and process the world around them. This practical guide explains how you can apply key principles in psychology to build products and experiences that are more intuitive and human-centered. Author Jon Yablonski deconstructs familiar apps and experiences to provide clear examples of how UX designers can build experiences that adapt to how users perceive and process digital interfaces. You’ll learn: How aesthetically pleasing design creates positive responses The principles from psychology most useful for designers How these psychology principles relate to UX heuristics Predictive models including Fitts’s law, Jakob’s law, and Hick’s law Ethical implications of using psychology in design A framework for applying these principles

DESCRIPTION ABOUT THE BOOK UX and UI Strategy: A step by step Guide on UX and UI design This book analyzes how Don Norman originated the word "User Experience Design" in the 1990s and it means a person's perception or feeling towards using a product, service, website or software. Steps on how to develop user experience includes: User interface (UI) is the process by which users (people) interact with a product or service. The UI includes hardware and software components. User interface exists for various processes and provides a means of input and output. The following are the basic procedural steps of user interface design. The steps are namely. - Study the idea of the products and design requirements - Do research on potential end-users, study and analyze them - Locate a group of people matching end users - Create use cases and test the cases - Create paper demonstration What a user feels would depend on the way an organization has designed its user experience to fit the user's needs and expectation, an organization looks at the patterns, habits and behavior of users to make their experience better. UX design is all encompassing in the sense that it covers various fields such as psychology, computer science, statistics, and graphic design. A great user experience has to be useful, usable and desirable. Essential rules for UX Design such as design for users, provide absolute clarity, give users control, predict, then adapt etc. The design thinking process such as: - User centricity and empathy - Collaboration - Ideation - Experimentation and Iteration - A bias towards action The roles of UX designers as well as the misconceptions of UI and UX. UI is actually a subset of UX, UX goes beyond designing to ensure organizations fit into the shoes of consumers or users by carrying out surveys and interviews to know their needs in order to design what will solve their problem and meet their needs.

Book Description
Most programmers' fear of user interface (UI) programming comes from their fear of doing UI design. They think that UI design is like graphic design—the mysterious process by which creative, latte-drinking, all-black-wearing people produce cool-looking, artistic pieces. Most programmers see themselves as analytic, logical thinkers instead—strong at reasoning, weak on artistic judgment, and incapable of doing UI design. In this brilliantly readable book, author Joel Spolsky proposes simple, logical rules that can be applied without any artistic talent to improve any user interface, from traditional GUI applications to websites to consumer electronics. Spolsky's primary axiom, the importance of bringing the program model in line with the user model, is both rational and simple. In a fun and entertaining way, Spolky makes user interface design easy for programmers to grasp. After reading User Interface Design for Programmers, you'll know how to design interfaces with the user in mind. You'll learn the important principles that underlie all good UI design, and you'll learn how to perform usability testing that works.
