Date: Sep 09/29/10 8:51 PM From: "Owen Hartnett" 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. ************************ You can get a map showing building E51 at The MacTechGrp always meets the first Wednesday of the month.
