Billy Hollis has been teaching design and innovation concepts to software development teams for over fifteen years. As he approaches retirement, he has assembled the most valuable lessons, the best hands-on exercises, and the most critical insights about creating better applications by applying design thinking throughout the software development process. Previous attendees have said Billy's workshops have changed the entire way their teams look at software development, and helped them produce more valuable and more successful apps. Stop thinking about design in terms of visuals, layout, and aesthetics, and start thinking about it in terms of interaction, task flows, visualization of data, and mind-altering innovation. Come to this hands-on workshop ready to listen, think, sketch, imagine, collaborate, and innovate.

You will learn:

• Break with the past to learn a completely new way of approaching the design of applications
• The principles needed to guide you through a design thinking effort
• See techniques that will help you develop your design expertise and look like a pro the first time you do it
