Before beginning, let us first understand what UX is.
UX (User Experience) can be said to be a process design team that is used for the creation of products that provide users with meaningful and relevant experiences. The acquiring and integration of the product is a complete process that includes types of branding, design of the product, usefulness, function, and successful accomplishment of this entire process is fully dependent on the design.

Hello, people!
Do you know about design thinking? If your answer is no, you should at least Google and learn about this approach to development. In this article, I want to share my experience with it and my ideas about it.
BizDevOps. DevSecOps. DevTestOps. DevXOps. DevEverythingOps…
Call it whatever you want – the bottom line is that if you hyperfocus on bringing Dev and Ops together, you’re going to overlook a lot of the key elements required to release valuable software faster. Does it delight users? Satisfy business goals? Minimize quality and security risks? And how do you achieve all that without stifling speed and frustrating the original “proprietors” of DevOps: Development and Operations?
I’ve spent most of my career working with startups, as the sole designer or alongside a handful of designers. I’ve never worked with a user researcher whose sole focus is on user interviews and usability tests. It can feel intimidating...

This short article will quickly enlighten viewers regarding the thought process or the stages that go behind the scenes before actually developing a website. Let's get started with the design thinking process.
The design thinking process can be defined as the thought process or the innovative ideas that web designers use to design a website before actually developing one. It's an iterative process wherein we constantly think from the end user's perspective for solving their problems instead of just concentrating on visual appeal. Design thinking focuses more on enhancing the user experience.
First, the approach was used for the design of physical objects, then other products, and now the power of design thinking is being applied to help solve complex challenges of any kind, across a wide variety of industries. Design Thinking is indispensable in today's business and technology world, but unfortunately, there's no guarantee those who use the approach will automatically succeed and become innovators.
Blade Kotelly is on the faculty of MIT and has taught courses on design thinking to both undergraduates and industry leaders for years. His consulting services have helped top brands to innovate radically on their product and services. I spoke with him about some of the common mistakes people and organizations make when trying to use Design Thinking.
The 2019 season for An Event Apart (the premiere web and interaction design conference) is about to kick off!
I'll be there in Seattle for the kickoff, giving a talk about how to think like a front-end developer. I've been working on it for ages, and I think I have a talk ready that helps set the stage for where we are at in the world of front-end development, through the lens of tons of other front-end developers I admire in this industry. I hope it'll be an entertaining romp through all their minds and how they think.
This is like my dream lineup. Except that jerk who kicks off Day 2.
Another neat little feature of the 2019 lineup is a screening of the documentary Rams that after lunch on Day 2. Like movie night. For us designer types. During the day. It's gonna be awesome.
See y'all there, I hope!

This resonated pretty strongly with people:
I’d watch a documentary series of developers giving a tour of their codebases.
— Chris Coyier (@chriscoyier) January 6, 2019
I think I was watching some random Netflix documentary and daydreaming that the subject was actually something I was super interested in: a semi-high-quality video deep dive into different companies codebases, hearing directly from the developers that built and maintain them.
Horror stories might also be interesting. Particularly if they involve perfect storm scenarios that naturally take us on a tour of the codebase along the way, so we can see how the system failed. We get little glimpses of this sometimes.
Probably more interesting is a tour of codebases when everything is humming along as planned. I wanna see the bottling factory when it's working efficiently so I can see the symphony of it more than I wanna see a heaping pile of broken glass on the floor.
Or! Maybe the filmmaker will get lucky and there will be some major problem with the site as they're filming, and they can capture the detection, reaction, and fixing of the problem and everything that entails. And sure, this isn't wildlife rescue; sometimes the process for fixing even the worst of fires is to stare at your screen and type in silence like you always do. But I'm sure there is some way to effectively show the drama of it.
I'm not sure anything like this exists yet, but I'd definitely watch it. Here's a bunch of stuff that isn't a million miles away from the general idea:
