2. UX?
(I thought this was about code…)

3. User Experience is…
solving the right problem for the right people in the best possible way.

4. Keys to an effective UX
What problem are you solving?
Why are you solving it?
Who are you solving it for?
How are you solving the problem?
Have a specific purpose
Understand your target audience
Make it simple
