As technology changes and more media outlets compete for customers’ time, providing an enjoyable experience is critical to both attracting and keeping users.

UX is more than code, wireframes or information architecture; it's a field that affects all areas of business. Prepare to dip your toes into an ocean of new concepts and ideas that will enlighten your perspective on the human-computer interaction experience.
