Matt Powell from LeftClick talking about development. The misconception that the API is more impotant than the GUI. Common myths;

1. Users are idiots
2. If you build it, they will come
3. Design is not my job
4. Coupling is bad - fronend and backend
5. It’s not that bad - users use the stuff for a long time - it has to work well and nicely

Advice - talk to the users and THEN design the interface

Pizza time!

Share the love...
