  • Behind the Scenes of Real-Life Projects
    IMPRINT Imprint © 2013 Smashing Magazine GmbH, Freiburg, Germany ISBN: 978-3-94454027-6 Cover Design: Ricardo Gimenes eBook Strategy and Editing: Vitaly Friedman Technical Editing: Cosima Mielke Planning and Quality Control: Vitaly Friedman, Iris Lješnjanin Tools: Elja Friedman. Syntax Highlighting: Prism by Lea Verou. Idea & Concept: Smashing Magazine GmbH Preface As Jeremy Olson states in one of the chapters of this eBook, “I believe we learn much more from success than from failure. It took Edison thousands of failed attempts to invent the electric light bulb, and it would be foolish to reinvent it based on trial and error, now that we have a working model.” The same holds true for Web design. After all, is there anything more insightful than learning about the workflows from fellow designers and developers, and what techniques they use? What made their projects a stunning success, and how do they over- come missteps? With this eBook, we’ll take a closer look at the tech- niques and stories of some folks behind real-life Web projects. Among others, you will discover how renowned projects such as the Financial Times Web app or the Nike Better World website were built, and learn from the success story of a translation app that made it into Apple’s top ten charts. You’ll also get an insight into Google’s User Ex- perience Lab, and (illustrated by the example of Pinterest) explore the importance of paint performance. Furthermore, our authors share valu- able lessons learned in the course of their careers—from both successes and failures. This eBook is full of handy tips, ideas, and personal experi- ences that are beneficial to any Web professional.
