Google has provided FREE UX content and some people in this comment section have done nothing but insult the instructor. A lot of you will never make in this field as you lack one of the key skill: EMPATHY!

[@peggyscott125]

and maturity.

[@SCTproductionsJ5]

I saw your comment before I saw him, and was like, "yeah! You tell em." ...but then I found myself super distracted by him.

[@TerranceArthur]

Come on boot licker this is not free content, you pay $50 per month if it takes more than a week. They should be ashamed of themselves for not making these free. As they are they are mostly worthless.

[@tonydiamond4118]

Waaahhh welcome to the internet

[@hearthstonebattlegroundsfu1568]

You’re lacking a key skill too….proofreading and spelling

[@bryanramirez1280]

This was great a breakdown of everything from top to bottom. This video alone holds a lot of value. I've seen other KZbin videos breaking this down in much more convoluted ways.

[@b4dconnection]

One thing I am grateful for these videos: it helped me decide I don't want to do UX design right now. The video is so helpful breaking down the common work responsibilities and environment that it helped me realize that my strengths lay elsewhere. I was bent between this and the Data Analysis Certificate and couldn't tell where I'd be better off spending my time. Now that it's clarified I can tell I'd be too uncomfortable and feel more pressured between the many groups and goals involved in the UX Design career. I would lose my mind trying to balance everything, and instead will be better focused and constructive with the time needed to data and a smaller group for most projects. I really do appreciate the hard work and clarification of these videos, and I wish everyone luck in their self-taught journeys.

[@GoogleCareerCertificates]

We're so glad to hear that you were able to find the certificate program that was the best fit for you! Best of luck on your career journey. 🙌

[@andresparodi7921]

Good luck with all the math needed for data analysis

[@PochoNieves]

Bro, Data Analysis or Science pays way more and is more linear. That said I would not got for the Google certificate. I would get a Oracle Database certification course from Udemy, I would get the Power BI cert or the Tableau cert, and then Excel. Thats it... linear progression and make tons more money.

[@notsure7132]

I went shopping today....couldn't stop talking about Grow with Google...SEER...etc. Nothing but tech explosion on every mind. Way too cool to describe...everyone's talking. Doctors, receptionists, Hair Salons, Liquor\Tobacco shops, Grocery stores....WoW. Just Wowed. Thank you.

[@MapleLeaf98115]

This is a very good overview of user experience as a careere. The UX program at my local design school costs $7,000 so that's why I'm checking out this program. Google is making this program accessible for everyone. Both programs are teaching the same information and both give certificates.

[@vipuljhamnani]

Great introductory video for college grads who are looking to enter this field! Clear and precise!

[@stephaniecrothers8482]

Or good for someone without a college degree. That's a big point Google makes with these certificates.

[@hibryd7481]

I'm really glad Google is branching out into other categories with their certificate programs. There is a strong need for targeted, middling educational programs like these and Google is well-suited to provide them. If I had one criticism about the production of these videos, it would be to not sacrifice clarity for interest. I completed the IT Automation with Python certificate about half a year ago. It was a great program; it had a diverse range of teachers, and they tried to keep it fun, but each one delivered their material is the same mind-numbing, even-paced, manner, verbatim to the script. It makes it pretty difficult to stay engaged in what the speaker is talking about. I still enjoyed the IT certification and I look forward to exploring the new ones, and overall I enjoyed this video as well....just trying to give some constructive criticism.

[@user-jv9lz3fg5t]

Yes, I agree.

[@devontaylor1913]

Always great seeing Google giving back to the community. Excited to get started as soon as possible!

Designing and developing a website is a complex and thought provoking process which encompasses many technical and non-technical elements. Linking these elements together is vital to creating a website; it should be both easy to find and provide an excellent experience for the user.

[@gogarrickboyd]

Can’t wait to get going on this. Been anticipating since first announced!

[@Ms_AP_]

@Google if you REALLY want to make these certificates a game changer, get them all ACE certified so we can transfer the credits into a college degree later. Ensuring that these courses can become stepping stones to further a degree would literally change thousands of lives.

[@stephaniecrothers8482]

IT and UX Design ARE [ACE] certified through 2024

While I have not read or seen any reference of Dr. Don Norman on user experience there has been some studies of user design and user interface back in the mid 80s. One of the best books was written by Willian M. Newman in 1987 ISBN 0-07-046332-8 . In Chapter 3 It focuses in the user interface but the entire book is as well a great starting point to understanding user experience.

[@laksemor299]

[@resourceress7]

speaking of user experience: Google is an extremely rich company. They need to pay someone to write accurate closed captions. Auto-generated "craptions" don't count. Even rich companies don't want to get sued for not following accessibility laws. Google also needs to hurry up and add subtitles in many languages. So the users can experience their content!

[@aliaksandrasaywell3826]

I wonder if Google would hire any of their own UX course graduates or does one need more experience than that and a proper accreditation to even apply for a job at Google.
