Personas: Application Development from the Users Perspective

Personas are hypothetical users which you can use when designing features for your application, to anticipate user interaction based on their goals. One of many problems in software engineering is providing consistent and easy to use user interfaces. How do you know what UI enables your users to get things done? How do you find a solution if you have conflicting interests? How do you build an interface, which doesn't leave decisions about configuration of the UI up to the user.

Abstract

Intended Audience: Beginner

The talk outlines how a beginner taking the CIS 194 course prepares applying Haskell on real world projects. Take away lessons include what pitfalls to avoid, struggles on might face on the transition from learner to practitioner and how to contribute to the Haskell community.

About myself: Róman is a software engineer at Red Hat, working on internal tools. His every day language is mainly Python. He is using XMonad for almost 6 years but never fully grokked how to configure the window manager and it’s components.Until now.

Background

An increasing part of the population is overweight and obese in Australia. Two main factors are the cause of this:

• less physical exercise
• more high-energy foods are consumed

I would like to concentrate in my nudge challenge of the food consumption
