Portland Linux/Unix Group General Meeting Announcement Who: Mike Jang What: Microcopy: The Art of User Interface Text Where: PSU, 1930 SW 4th Ave. Room FAB 86-01 (Lower Level) When: Thursday, April 6th, 2017 at 7pm Why: The pursuit of technology freedom Stream: http://pdxlinux.org/live
No one in fact wants to Read The Fine Manual. Adding a user should not require a manual and developers insist they don't need one. This puts the burden on the web and desktop UI designer who must be extremely communicative with only a handful of words. This talk will walk you through lessons learned writing Microcopy in applications of all sizes. As a senior technical writer for ForgeRock, Mike Jang spends much of his time documenting how deployers can modify JavaScript to customize web applications. He has also written a couple dozen technical books, mostly focused on Linux certification, and is the author of O’Reilly’s Linux Annoyances for Geeks.
