5 Crucial Usability Tips for App Designers and Developers
----------------------------------

Hey, everyone. I'm Curtis Lassa, and I'm here to share some very simple 
usability guidelines with you for application development.

By the end of this video, you should have a better understanding of how to design a UI that is intuitive and easy for your users to make sense of.

Let's begin by examining one of the fundamental pieces of applications on the web: hyperlinks. On a dekstop, it's much easier to be precise about where you want to click because your mouse cursor is small. You know what's not small? Our fingers. Relative to the pointer, of course. So, this means that when you're considering your application for touch-screen devices, you need to adapt accordingly.

Hi friends!

I am speaking at JSFest Oakland in December. They are paying their speakers. I am already paid by Mozilla to go speak, and we're also sponsoring, so it really doesn't make a lot of sense for me to accept this stipend. I think it would be inappropriate if I did.

I am turning my speaker fee into a sponsorship sum. If you or someone you know can't attend the event for financial reasons, I may be able to help.

Here is what you need to do:

1. Draft an email to angelina@mozilla.com with [JSFest Help] in the subject. I get a lot of mail at that address, so this part if very important so I don't miss it.
