Universal Design Principles Applied to APIs (Part 1 of 4) »
Reading the Universal Principles of Design and caring passionately about APIs got us thinking about how to apply those principles to API design. In a four part series, we'll cover 13 design principles from the book:
- Development Cycle
- Errors
- Visibility
- Flexibility-Usability Tradeoff
- Hick’s Law
- 80/20 Rule
- Inverted Pyramid
- Advance Organizer
- Consistency
- Self Similarity
- Aesthetic-Usability Effect
- Cost-Benefit
- Immersion
