Do you believe that great user experience is a competitive advantage, and want to learn how to design your own product? Ever had a great idea for a web or mobile app, but didn’t really know how to start? Or are you wasting a lot of time and money on freelancers that aren’t producing the results you’re expecting?

This step by step course takes you from the idea stage into creating a simple and intuitive user experience blueprint. There is no theory involved, and no use of design jargon. In this course, I demonstrate how I move from the idea stage and through the various steps of designing the user experience, then I provide you with actions to follow at the end of each step. No creative skills needed, and no design tools required. Just a pen and paper or a whiteboard and markers, and you’re all set to go.

By following the simple steps provided in this course, you’ll create your user experience in one week!

    You will get awesomeness

    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.

    Great content! (Too pricey?)

    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).

    3.5 out of 5

    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
