MEETING INFORMATION

Thursday, February 9, 2012 18:30 at Arbormoon Software, Inc, 212 S 4th Ave, Suite 2D, Ann Arbor, MI 48104

Starting at 6:30pm, we'll have free food sponsored by Arbormoon Software, Inc

Our main meeting will start at 7pm. Tom Crawford will present on Mobile screens are small. We have lots of content we want (or need) to deliver. How do we fit it all in? How do we make sure our audience can understand and interact with the information? Most importantly, how do we design our interface so that they can actually do something with the information? Increasingly, people are using their mobile devices to access information and learning from wherever they are.

A great user interface is essential to acceptance and adoption of any system. While the rules of great design still apply, the small touch screen adds new constraints that don't exist on other platforms. We'll talk about some of the key design principles and how they apply in this environment. Whether it be color, size, shape, visual cues, icons, metaphors, real-world equivalents, the user has expectations about how an app will work. We'll also discuss not only how to meet these expectations, but also exceed and even delight the user with design.

If you are interested in talking about an iPhone or Mac OS X development topic, or showing your iPhone or Mac OS X project please contact Dave Koziol.

We're always looking for volunteers to talk at future meetings, so please consider volunteering.
