      Condition
      The goal Introduction to cognitive abilities of human, basics of everyday psychology, visualization anf graphic design in order to create an interface that will guarantee maximum usability. Forcing of disciplined interface development using modern technologies with their evaluation.
      The outcome Students will be able to design an effective graphical user interface applications based on the knowledge of human abilities and guiding design principles. Also, they will be able to apply the learned principles using different implementation models and to perform evaluation of implemented solutions.
      Contents
      Contents of lectures Introduction to the principles of user interface design (based on the human capabilities, task analysis, principles of graphic design), analysis of the interface usability, implementation (input and output models, MVC, tools for prototyping, iterative implementation) and evaluation (heuristic and predictive, testing). Types of defects, their prevention and elimination.
      Contents of exercises Same as lectures. A large number of practical examples of good and bad design. Implementation using a variety of software technologies including Microsoft. NET Framework
