Wednesday! ** MacTechGroup Meeting Wednesday Oct 6 7PM

[Owen Hartnett]

MacTechGroup

The MacTechGroup holds meetings for Macintosh programmers on the first Wednesday of each month at MIT in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.

Next Meeting:
Oct 6 2010 7:00 PM Building E51 Room 315 MIT Sloan School (Note: we are in room 315 at least until Jan.)



Topic: Designing Tapworthy iPhone Apps
Speaker: Josh Clark

Tapworthy apps cope with small screens and fleeting user attention to make every pixel count, every tap rewarding. Josh will share some ideas to help you: capture the elusive ingredients of irresistible mobile interfaces; craft comfortable ergonomics for fingers and thumbs; dodge the usability gotchas of handheld devices; and turn tiny-touchscreen constraints to your advantage. Along the way, you'll get behind-the-scenes glimpses into the design process of popular apps including Facebook, Twitterrific, USA Today, Things, and others.

My bio:
Josh Clark is a designer, developer, and author specializing in iPhone and iPad user experience. He's author of the O'Reilly books "Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps" and "Best iPhone Apps: The Guide for Discriminating Downloaders." Josh's outfit Global Moxie offers workshops and consulting services to help creative companies build tapworthy iPhone apps and effective websites.
