Book Description
The discipline of user experience (UX) design has matured into a confident practice and this edition reflects,and in some areas accelerates,that evolution. Technically this is the second edition of The UX Book,but so much of it is new,it is more like a sequel.
One of the major positive trends in UX is the continued emphasis on design―a kind of design that highlights the designer’s creative skills and insights and embodies a synthesis of technology with usability,usefulness,aesthetics,and meaningfulness to the user. In this edition a new conceptual top-down design framework is introduced to help readers with this evolution.
This entire edition is oriented toward an agile UX lifecycle process,explained in the funnel model of agile UX,as a better match to the now de facto standard agile approach to software engineering. To reflect these trends,even the subtitle of the book is changed to “Agile UX design for a quality user experience.
Designed as a how-to-do-it handbook and field guide for UX professionals and a textbook for aspiring students,the book is accompanied by: in-class exercises and team projects.
The approach is practical rather than formal or theoretical. The primary goal is still to imbue an understanding of what a good user experience is and how to achieve it. To better serve this,processes,methods,and techniques are introduced early to establish process-related concepts as context for discussion in later chapters.
