UX on the Go Summary

UX on the Go: A Flexible Guide to User Experience Design by Andrew Mara

Designed with flexibility and readers' needs in mind, this purpose driven book offers new UX practitioners succinct and complete intructions on how to conduct user research and rapidly design interfaces and products in the classroom or the office.

With 16 challenges to learn from, this comprehensive guide outlines the process of a User Experience project cycle from assembling a team to researching user needs to creating and veryifying a prototype. Practice developing a prototype in as little as a week or build your skills in two-, four-, eight-, or sixteen-week stretches. Gain insight into individual motivations, connections, and interactions; learn the three guiding principles of the design system; and discover how to shape a user's experience to achieve goals and improve overall immediate experience, satisfaction, and well-being.

Written for professionals looking to learn or expand their skills in user experience design and students studying technical communication, information technology, web and product design, business, or engingeering alike, this accessible book provides a foundational knowledge of this diverse and evolving field.

A companion website will include examples of contemporary UX projects, material to illustrate key techniques, and other resources for students and instructors. Access the material at uxonthego.com.

UX on the Go Reviews

UX on the Go: A Flexible Guide to User Experience Design is a pedagogical gift to our field. In sixteen carefully scaffolded chapters, Mara and contributors provide students and faculty alike with the practical and theoretical tools necessary to understand, manage and demystify complex project cycles, user-driven decisions, and action first paradigms. The creative challenges and UX examples in this book will define how rapidly-adjusted project cycles, user-driven decisions, and action- first paradigms are taught in our classrooms for years to come.

UX on the Go stands out as a textbook with its emphasis getting out in the field and meeting users - the people all the work is about. From beginning to end, Andrew Mara identifies the role of UX research and practical ways to include users in the entire process, engaging them and embedding their stories in the product.

In UX on the Go: A Flexible Guide to User Experience Design, Andrew Mara gives us a very clear and practical exploration of UX design. I very much appreciated his step-by-step approach to designing with the users' needs and experiences in mind.
