- Product Usability: Survival Techniques
-
- Developing applications in today's business environment is very
- difficult. Organizations are looking to produce more usable products
- with the same constrained resources: no more time, no more money, no
- more people!
-
- This course teaches your team how to produce a more usable product
- without any more time, money or people. You and your team will learn
- how to build a full working prototype without writing any code. You
- will learn how to do this in just a few hours, not days, with
- materials and equipment you already have.
-
- Who Should Attend:
-
- This course is for experienced members of the development team.
- Engineers, technical writers, project leaders and development managers
- will benefit form the wide variety of practical tips and techniques
- presented here. Because of the advanced nature of the material,
- experience in developing commercial products is highly recommended.
- An understanding of basic usability concepts is helpful but not
- required.
-

- Techniques For Complex Applications
-
- Today's graphical user interfaces employ a variety of solutions to
- help users learn and use complex applications more effectively. This
- practical course presents a wealth of insights from our independent
- research and consulting practice about these solutions, and how they
- can work for you.
-
- You'll see numerous implementations from Microsoft, Lotus, and other
- leading software developers. You'll learn how to choose, design, and
- refine the types of solutions that will help your application's users
- learn and work more productively. Exercises give you a chance to
- practice some of the techniques discusses in the course.
-
- Who Should Attend:
-
- This course is for experienced developers who have worked on
- applications with complex interfaces. Although most of the examples
- are taken from Windows products, developers of other GUI or
- character-based systems will also benefit from the techniques and
- lessons learned. Familiarity with paper prototyping and current
- Windows-based products is helpful but not required.
