JS UX: Writing Code for Humans
Lea Verou is joining us at this month's JavaScript Matters! She'll be telling us more about how keeping user interfaces and UX in mind applies to developers, not just designers. Check it out!
We tend to think of user interfaces and UX as designer concerns that do not apply to us. However, every time we write code to be used by others — or ourselves in the future! — we are creating a UI. A UI whose usability can be vastly improved by many UX principles, some tailored to code, others applying to every UI, ever. In this light-hearted talk you will learn a ton of tips and tricks to improve your API design, distilled from Lea’s experience of creating & managing dozens of successful open source projects with thousands of merged pull requests.
