Understanding User Experience

Join us on May 6th at 6:00 PM for an evening on User Experience (UX), courtesy of Fox News Channel!

If you want to start in UX, this Meetup is for you!

It's an introduction on UX and targets both people who are new to UX and people who are already familiar with the concept. The talk will begin with defining what UX is, how and where it occurs, and how important it is. It will then present different methods, tools and guidelines to consider when designing for a positive user experience. The focus will be on mobile UX and on the value of UX for creating better software products.
