usability fail.
usability fails are everywhere and it’s sad.
Speaking at Ignite Lansing!
In: Uncategorized
21 Sep 2009Ignite is an event where people get together and give 5-minute presentations on anything. The slides advance every 15 seconds and the topics range from stuff like chocolate to scrabble to information visualization. It’s an interesting challenge, so I signed up to chat about hacking usability at Ignite Lansing. I’ll give an introduction to basic usability concepts and also talk about some very cheap, quick and unique tools you can put into your kit. Hopefully novice and practitioner alike will learn something!
