GTA PHP User Group

Tapping Into the Power of User Narratives

In this presentation Michael Keara (@useradvocate) explores the space between UX design and coding practice around user interface string management.Some larger lessons will be drawn regarding the definition of user Roles from the UX design point of view - which is different from the way many developers define the term.

The concepts of string management and user Roles are combined using a case study of an on-line registration system which was required to be ‘comfortable’ for a variety of user types.

Michael Keara is a UX specialist and developer, with over 20 years of experience in both desktop and web application development and UX design. He runs a UX consulting service called The User Advocate Group (www.tuag.ca)

  The presentation is about 40 mins plus discussion time. I'm sure there will be at least another 30 mins of other business also. And there's probably/hopefully pub time after that.
