For us User Experience was an afterthought. We paid no attention to the amount of time and effort our users usually spent while working with our application. SharperSkills® WPF Training by Sharper Software gave us the opportunity to rethink this strategy and provided the necessary knowledge in order to develop application with rich user experience, saving our users' time and effort.
If you've ever been developing software, you'll notice how professional software manufacturing companies value user experience. Microsoft is a role model when it comes to building such solutions. But why should you bother with user experience the first place?
Well, it's simple. If you're software is difficult to use and requires a lot of training, then chances are that users will not even bother using it, which defeats its purpose. Next, software that does not have an intuitive user interface and rational navigation requires more resources to maintain.
User Experience Challenges
- Developers think that one size fits all.
- First impressions last for long. If a user does not like the application, s/he may not use it.
- If it takes me longer to use your system than paper, I'll do it the old-fashioned way.
- Many users do not know why are they on this current page. How can they be productive?
- The system keeps logging me off when I have no activity.
- Do I really have to remember all these passwords?
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is Microsoft's answer to the above challenges. With its ability to produce rich applications, WPF can deliver better user experiences and help reduce overall costs. By separating Application Code from Presentation Code (using XAML), WPF allows a designer to design the user experience while the developer is writing functional code. This allows the user experience to change without having to make significant changes to the application code.
