THE FUNDAMENTALS OF EXCEPTIONAL INTERFACE DESIGN

Successful user interfaces are those that are easy to learn and efficient to use. Meeting these goals requires that you understand the people who will use your software.  This presentation will provide current information about interface and interaction design best practices, our shared human psychology and abilities, and the ways to leverage FileMaker tools to create exceptional user experiences.
