Description

Designers will come to you, and say "Hm, I think your program is not as user-friendly". And sometimes, when you ask them to elaborate, they seem to follow a hidden and cryptic ritual. They are right, yet, is hard to see how did they come up with those usability suggestion. Alas, behind every usability magician, there is a magic trick! and on this podcast we reveal in plain sight what makes interfaces usable (and quote a lot from Alan Cooper's book). Once you see the trick, you would never be daunted on spotting usability yourself, and making things much more usable before passing them on. Usability magic for all of us!

This podcast talks about how to program in Java; not your tipical system.out.println("Hello world"), but more like real issues, such as O/R setups, threading, getting certain components on the screen or troubleshooting tips and tricks in general. The format is as a podcast so that you can subscribe to it, and then take it with you and listen to it on your way to work (or on your way home), and learn a little bit more (or reinforce what you knew) from it.
