Designing and Documenting User Interactions with Darcy Clarke
Details
Designing and Documenting User Interactions
Onboarding someone new to a foreign project can be time consuming. Creating a platform or project that is meant to be used by thousands of people, with many moving parts, dependancies and paradigms will gain zero traction if good documentation and resources aren't provided. To add to this, until now, generating documentation that reflects user interactions has been mostly neglected.
Developers focus on documenting functionality in JavaScript while leaving out critical HTML/CSS implementations and states. In this talk, Darcy will address this issue and dive into new tools and conventions that any front end project or team can implement easily and help others understand their thinking, architecture and design.
