Design Your User Experience in 7 Simple Steps

I enjoyed the flow of this course and thought that the screen capture of the design process were great. I am completely new to user experience design but was able to catch on quickly. I was able to apply what I learnt here to create a prototype that was presented as part of a business plan at university. I will definitely be watching some of these videos again to improve my skills as we plan on having our app developed!

Very effective course. The content and methodology are very straight forward and solid. I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in properly figuring out and putting together their ideas into documents and prototypes needed to take your idea to product. Thank you, this has been very useful to me!

I felt that this course over-promised and under-delivered for the price. There's only about 2.5hrs worth of actual content, with the rest being audio tracks lifted directly from the videos. Poor.

I enjoyed this course. I was able to watch it within one day, along with completing steps 1 - 3 (of the "7 Steps)... for an upcoming project. Something I appreciated was that there doesn't seem to be much "fluff" (i.e. wordiness, filler content)—lessons are straight to the point. I, also, liked that I could download the course content (videos (.mp4), "cheat sheet" (.pdf), and audio transcripts (.mp3)). Throughout the course a few lightbulbs went off. I really enjoyed his (Apple) Keynote rapid prototyping of an iPhone app, using resources from his site, Keynotopia (http://keynotopia.com/). The course instructor, Amir, seems to "chime in" every now and then for the course discussions and lecture comments; usually, addressing any concerns or requests. (His most recent post was 3 months ago, I believe, as of this writing.) Would I take this course again? Yes. (I think I'll revisit the course content, when needed, in the future.) Would I pay the current, regular asking price of $399? Not sure. The good news is (for now) Udemy has a "30 Day Money Back Guarantee". If this course wasn't all that you hoped it would be... you could take advantage of that policy (http://www.udemy.com/static/faq).

Loved the course, very helpful. Would be nice to have a section about information sites. Not all sites have such a variety of users and needs. Nice course and one I have been using to help teach my classes better at Web Courses here in Bangkok Thailand.

The most useful & effective methods I've come across to help you take an idea in your head into something concrete. Will use this for all my future projects. Wish I'd known this sooner.

In general - very helpful course. It shows the product design process, few tips and tricks, etc. But I think it lacks more *user experience* stuff. I believe author is great ux designer, but I expected him to share more about *why* he does something, *how* he decides to choose one way of doing something against another. Also I was a bit disappointed about author not being active in discussions for this course. He promises to do few minor things in comments, but it seams it doesn't go beyond that. I think this course is useful for those who is not familiar with UX design (like I am), but it isn't worth $100

Awesome course Amir. I cranked through it in less than 2 hours and I'm ready to take my product to the next level. Keep it up!

This was a fantastic course & experience - one that I will continue to use and refine. It was more than worth the cost and time invested. Amir explains "the process" in a very simple, clear & concise manner, and had just the right amount of detail. I was so inspired that I scrapped my original MVP design and followed the step by step process. What a HUGE improvement! I now have a REAL product that I am proud of. Amir also makes himself very accessible and is very responsive. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this course and his template products at www.keynotopia.com

very simple and great work ... Keep it up and more mobile , ipad UI advice would be helpful

I just went over your entire series and I have to say it definitely gave me the most hands-on lessons than most UX books that are conventionally very theoretical to start with. I had all these ideas in my head, and using Amir's lean methodology, I could clear up my head and put them all down on paper. I love the tools he's also included here. p.s takes a bit of practice but its worth it!

As other reviewers wrote, this is a superb class! I highly recommend this class especially to someone who does not come from a designer background like myself. But, even for a current UI designer, this course still has alot to offer in my opinion. Amir definitely knows how to teach. This is an action based course. so, after you have completed this course, you can simply follow Amir's guideline to design a great UI.

Amir, great work. You helped me reduce the design cycle time from a 2-3 weeks to 2-3 days. I really enjoyed the course and implemented my own app alongside the slides. I am also a fan of lean methodologies, in which process is king. Thank you, I've saved me so many frustrations and wasted time. Truly valuable.

Really enjoyed this course and Amirs approach. I have developed several sites with others in the past three years and used to just jump right in to wire-framing. His approach is far more structured and yet remains quick to implement and feels fluid enough not to lose the creative aspects (that are enjoyable too). Definitely will use this approach for my new web based business (soon to be built). Thanks!

This is my experience so far with the course I just completed the third step. And I realized that this course is guiding me that "what should be the deliverable", there may be many UX Practitioner will disagree with me on the subject of "Deliverable" however I would say that this course is guiding you to the deliverable in the agile environment and trust me if you run this exercise in sessions with your client & stakeholder of the project, then you will get a good gist of what will be the "outcome" of the product. On Step 3, you will get a hint of "Card Sorting", yup Amir's course won't discuss the jargon, but will prepare you with the idea behind Card Sorting, Persona etc. I am also reading the book "Undercover UX" it is an awesome book, however it is talking about tons of stuff that one UX Person can do and how to do it. However if you have that book and then watch the videos by Amir you will get that book ingrained in to you. This course sounds like a "stepping stone" to lay a foundation of UX Practices in your brainy-bits. And then go read that Undercover UX (http://undercoverux.com/) book you will fall in love with UX right away. I will recommend this course to anyone who is just started or "wondering" where to start from. I bought this course for my team and specifically for my Mobile Development Team at www.qurtaba.net.

I've spent a lot of time trying to figure out the right process for doing UX for projects. I love that Amir breaks down how simple it is to do what is needed to move the needle forward. This is a great place to start...and also a great primer for those who want to optimize their own process. I have had the Keynotopia templates for some time..but thought I needed to do a lot more to be able to use them effectively. Now I know better...and I plan to do better. Thanks again. -€

I enjoyed these classes as they were action orientated. Amir makes it look easy, but with his framework I hope to improve the speed at which I can create new prototypes. I would definitely recommend his prototyping mockup tools found at Keynotopia.com. I would have liked to learn more about the principles behind a good UI/UX design though that could then be applied more broadly across web/mobile apps.
