Web usability research

Sept. 24, 2016

  Spent 2+ hours to do some research on web usability. At the end of study, Julia found the joy to watch TED talk from Margaret Gould Stewart, she knew that her study leaded to great experience of learning, expand her knowledge as a software programmer.

  First, let us have some highlights of study, then, have the detail of study.

  Highlights


Two TED talks:
1. Three lessons for designing for the whole world

2. How giant websites design for you and a billion others too?

  More details of study


kind of messy, will be organized better very soon.

1. From code smells study, move to next topic: web usability & user experience. (2+ hours study)

Borrow some ideas from website usability & user experience - Julia, you need to read 60 pages - page by page first.

Study Website Usability & User Experience (UX) Definition
(60 pages - plan to read 1- 2 hours, understand the concepts first)

How Code smells research leads to the website Usability research? User experience research?

It is an interesting journey, study clean code book -> code smells -> web usability ->  user experience (UX)

2.  Coding training -> More study on user experience, code readability, build good ritual before coding.

Julia's favorite notes:


What’s really hard at designing at scale, is that it requires a bizarre combination of two things, audacity and humility.
