From pen of Ezequiel Bruni (web / UX designer, blogger, and aspiring photographer living in Mexico) we have this article about deciding what should be your next learning focus. In his opinion the technology you focus on or use next should always be matched to both the job and the people at hand.
Author claims he has discovered ways to make an educated guess. Since people often use the new year as an excuse to try new things, heI thought he’d share his principles of educated guesswork with you all.
The article then explains in details how to go about these steps:
- Watch people and how they use tech
- Look for convenience (for your users)
- Integration
- What happens when things go wrong? How does the tech respond to bugs?
- Extra tips
Especially useful is authors’ explanation for point one. Watch the people who make tech: Research the people who make the tech you’re considering buying into. Do they listen to their community? Do they consider the edge cases? Do they care? Can they write clear documentation? Good read!
