Course Description

This 5-day course focuses on developing modern applications for embedded systems and touchscreens using Qt and QtQuick. The class utilizes real development boards with touchscreens for each participant and introduces students to working with embedded touchscreen systems. Further, fundamentals of programming with Qt will be covered to give participants a thorough understanding of the underlying ideas of QML and QtQuick. Efficient and robust design of applications for touchscreen enabled devices utilizing the latest QtQuick techniques is the central focus of this class. As such, architectural considerations for creating applications consisting of beautiful and highly responsive presentation layers, backed by solid back-end implementations are important learning goals for participants.

In the course, we will use the Raspberry Pi embedded system and a multi-point touchscreen. After the class, you may keep the board and touchscreen for a discounted fee of $172.50 plus tax. This is optional and we will loan you a touchscreen and board at no extra charge if you prefer.

Course Description

The proliferation of tablets and smartphones has raised customers’ expectations of their interaction with any device. If interaction with a device’s touchscreen is not as responsive or easy as with a tablet users are immediately disappointed.

This one-day course will cover critical user experience (UX) concepts and challenges to consider before engaging in core development of an embedded systems application.

We will present various scenarios and UX best practices, discuss user interface (UI) prototyping and testing strategies, examine case studies and work through a design problem.

This course is suitable for project managers, software developers, product managers and anyone interested in learning how to create a modern user experience.

Course Availability: On-site, Open Enrollment
Duration: 1 day

Outline:

• Principles of design
• How the UX process flows, with a focus on the needed of embedded system
• Creation of personas and user scenarios to guide design
• Development of an Information Architecture
• Testing and validation of designs
• UX prototyping techniques
