DM CocoaHeads: Good User Interface Design in Cocoa & Cocoa Touch

http://cocoaheads.org/us/DesMoinesIowa/index.html Thursday, April 8 at 7 pm at the Impromptu Studio in Des Moines,IA (see link above for Map & directions) I recently became the group leader of the Des Moines CocoaHeads, and to get the ball rolling I will be giving a presentation this week on Good User Interface Design in Cocoa & Touch. I thought this would be a good time to do this as several people are starting work on new projects. Some things I'll Cover...
  • Good & Bad User Interfaces and what makes them good and bad
  • How to plan out a User Interface (we'll go through an example test app)
  • UI Design patterns on the Mac and iPhone (and iPad to the extent possible)
  • Q&A/Discussion on UI Design patterns
If your coming feel free to bring your apps in and we can give your UI a good review and help you improve it. Sometime after this is over i'll take my presentation & post it online here via article or screencast, so keep tuned.
