Getting Real: Chapter 9

What is chapter 9 all about? hmm.. Interfaces!! What is an interface. Well, simply saying, its what people see. first thing i learned in this chapter is, make the interface first before all the  codes. The interface should be the first thing to be handled because thats your product, not the codes behind it! But ofcourse, not only the interface but also its functionality. It is also stated in this chapter that you should focus on the epicenter of your application. You should focus on the main function of your application, side functions will follow. Also when making an interface, make your interface very defensive. What does it mean? mke it defensive as if you will always think that your market will always make mistakes in your app, your market will not like its function, your market will have problems, etc. when being defensive you get to make your interface the best you can give since you prioritize the need of your market.  Based on what I have read in this chapter, the topic that most stayed in my mind is the “context over consistency”  when making an iterface, context should always be considered, for instance why do you keep on having a calendar on each side of your page if users dont need it? its consistent but does it make sense? thats what context is. You should make your app speak for itself, speak for being useful and meaningful. not speak with arrogance and trash.
