CHIFOO presents "Coding is for Coders: Why Designers Should Learn Business and What You Can Do About It" with Patrick Neeman, icertis!
Most designers may have heard something like, "learn to code like your life depends on it.” While empathy for the engineering process is important, and that mythical designer / coder may exist, in general, this advice is misguided. Bad for you, bad for your team, bad for your organization, and most importantly, bad for your career.
In this talk, Patrick will explain why you should not learn to code and instead focus on learning the in’s an out’s of business. He’ll cover:
• Why learning about business is a good idea for any user experience professional
• Why most businesses secretly want designers to learn business
• What aspects of business are important to user experience
• How you can take action to learn it in your organization
• Where you can apply what you have learned to your current job, and your future jobs
