San Francisco Web 2.0 Design Workshop Focuses on Usability

March 22, 2007; 04:26 AM
Web 2.0 is now being embraced by corporations and promises to permanently change the playing field for web applications. Classic System Solutions, a provider of usability products and training services for corporate software developers, today announced the release of its newest Usability and Advanced User Interface Design workshops specifically targeted at designing for Web 2.0. These instructor-led workshops will transform design theory into practical usage during a series of 2 day interactive seminars where students will learn how to define user goals and business needs and then apply proven design techniques using the latest AJAX and Web 2.0 technologies. These are the same techniques being used successfully on real projects by many of Classic's Global 2000 clients. Implementing a successful and usable design process can mean the difference between success and failure in the coming years. Learn from the experts who have been delivering success in this field for over a decade.

Experts from Classic will show students how to apply a proven process for identifying true user requirements, developing and validating conceptual models, and creating visual design patterns that are highly usable. Classic backs up their design training with solid research performed in their digital usability lab and will provide actual video of users in action to bring home the impact of usability and further reinforce the seminar material. Classic will then show students how to adopt a user-centric perspective and learn how customer-centered design can transform your organization.

Both seminars will be presented in San Francisco on April 10th -- 13th, 2006. The price for each seminar is $1095 or students can save $300 by attending both seminars for $1795. Register for this seminar by calling the Classic System Solutions hotline at 925-308-7686 or by completing the information request form at the Classic System web site at www.classicsys.com.
