ChicagoRuby: Downtown - UXD for Developers

Presentation: User Experience Design for Developers
Developers often end up making design decisions, and a cursory knowledge of UX can go a long way towards making products that are user-friendly and intuitive. This talk will arm developers with a few simple activities they can do to validate the usability of the features they are building, as well as provide some methods for talking about UX with clients. 

About the Presenter 
Eva Penzeymoog is a designer at 8th Light who works to infuse UX into every step of the process, from discovery to front-end implementation. She advocates for users as living, breathing human beings who deserve experiences that are intuitive and delightful. When not designing and coding, she’s playing with her pitbulls Hamlet and Horatio, fundraising for feminist organizations and unabashedly devouring the latest YA novels.

After most downtown meetings we head over to Elephant & Castle (185 N. Wabash) for refreshments & fellowship. Join us for a few minutes if you have time.

Please use your real name when you RSVP for downtown ChicagoRuby meetings. Reason: We are required to give a list of all attendees to the security desk prior to the meeting. If the name on your ID doesn't the match the name on the RSVP list, then Aon security will not let you in the building. Sorry for the inconvenience, but those are the rules of the Aon Building.
