The challenge

User expectations

Users don’t want tools anymore :They want stylish personal devices.

Users don’t want to run tasks only :They need to connect and consult medias.

The challenge

Not just for funDo not think this trend is only for gaming or futile computer usages. Business users want tablets and nice user interfaces too !

If you are developing an « serious » application working only with a keyboard and mouse, using little icons, you’re developing for a niche market.That’s not the future.

The challenge

Be an inventor, not just a coder

Usage models and user interfaces need to reflect the trend : social, intuitive, simple, stylish.

Developers can’t just implement an algorithm and code a working UI. « Working » is not enough.

Developers need to invent a service, a solution.

The challenge

Team work

The UI needs to be stylish,but you’re not a designer ?The idea good enough to be successful,but you’re not business oriented ?

You may need to work with others, in a team !

The challenge

And now, the good newsLook at the bright side : software development is becoming a lot more complex, but a lot more fun too !Working on highly responsive and flexible UIs may seem simple at first, but it’s a real technical challenge too.

Challenge is fun, embrace it, show your skills !
