"Okay, that's the first chat interface, and some other interfaces are based on this reference. ”

Stopping the pen, Chen Yu handed the designed interface in front of everyone: "Xie Zhang, tell me, what is the difference between this interface and the interface of QQ?"

"It's much more beautiful than QQ. ”

Chen Yu asked Zhang Jianming again: "Brother Jian, what do you think?"

"Beautiful and generous, but also very simple, much stronger than QQ. ”

Zhang Jianming also nodded.

Later, Chen Yu asked about Li Nan.

"It's not just about beauty. ”

Li Nan thought from time to time: "I feel that Mr. Chen, your interface design is not just as simple as the beauty on the surface. ”

"Oh, Li Nan, what else?"

"Mr. Chen, I can't say it all at once now, I still have to study and study. ”

"Okay, Li Nan, you can take it back and study it. ”

Chen Yu didn't say anything more.

Li Nan is a very good programmer.

However, no matter how good he is, it is impossible to compare with Chen Yu's forward-looking vision.

The reason why Chen Yu vetoed it step by step and didn't do it all at once was to cultivate Li Nan's way of thinking.

Software is not only about looking good, but also about a deeper pursuit.

......

"Brother Nan, why have you been staring at this interface design in a daze?"

Holding the interface diagram designed by Chen Yu, Li Nan returned to the technical department but fell into deep thought.

He felt that the design seemed to contain countless truths, but he couldn't say the specific truths.

There was a flash in my mind, but there were some that I couldn't catch.

"What do you think of Mr. Chen's interface design?"

Looking up, Li Nan asked a few of his subordinates.

"Didn't you say it?,The design is so beautiful.,Hang QQ.。 ”

"That is, if we make our instant messaging according to this interface design, we will definitely occupy the market quickly. ”

Everyone echoed.

It's just that Li Nan shook his head: "It's too naïve to occupy the market with just one interface, have you forgotten how our UC died?"

This said, but everyone was a little embarrassed.

At that time, they were full of pride, thinking that they could have a long time with QQ, but unfortunately they died directly in the end.

"Brother Nan, I think that Mr. Chen's design drawing is not only good-looking, but also understandable at a glance, which feels very convenient. ”

"Oh, go on, what's the convenience?"

"Anyway, I think that even if someone who has not been in contact with a computer has not had much contact with such an interface, he will know how to operate it as long as he is familiar with it. ”

"Yes, you're right. ”

The answer from his subordinates suddenly made Li Nan overjoyed.

He finally understood what was so great about this interface design?

The most powerful thing about this interface design is not his good-looking, nor his simplicity, but his logic.

This kind of logic can make people think of how to do it at once.

For example, there is a message design here, and a horn is drawn on it, which means that there will be a message here.

Another example is the label of a document, which represents the email.

There is a sign for a picture, which means sending a picture.

And this logo, this button...... If you think about it, you can probably understand what it means.

"Great, brothers, let's get to work. ”

"There are still several interface designs left, so let's not let Mr. Chen help us design them. ”

"According to the idea given to us by Mr. Chen, we redesigned all the original page boundaries. ”

This time, Li Nan was extremely passionate.

He felt that he had grasped the true meaning of Internet software design.

A few days later, when Li Nan submitted all the interface designs, including the sub-interface design plan, to the general manager's office, Chen Yu couldn't help but nod secretly. It seems that Li Nan is really talented, and his inspiration for him a few days ago was not in vain.

"Li Nan, yes, these designs are simple and convenient, much better than the previous designs. ”

"Mr. Chen, don't tease me, I also designed it under your inspiration. The interface design you gave me is just amazing, and I'm still working on it. ”

"I'm still working on it. ”

"It's definitely going to have to be studied, this design contains too much philosophy. ”

"The more I talk about it, the more exaggerated it becomes. ”

Chen Yu smiled: "Actually, that's it, good software must not only be beautiful and generous, but also take care of the human way of thinking, that is, logical." Just like the window operation launched by the computer at that time, there was no window at the beginning, and it was all operated with code, which was too troublesome for non-professionals to know how to use. The same should be true when we develop software. ”

"We should know that we develop software that is not for experts, but for ordinary people. Even if it's for experts, they want to be logical, and it's a human-computer interaction problem. ”

"Human-computer interaction?"

"Yes, human-computer interaction is a study of the interaction between people and systems, and between humans and computers. We humans not only need to understand computers ourselves, but also the computers we design, including computer systems and software, can also be understood by humans at a glance. It's like my cup in real life, when I pick up this cup, you know at a glance that this cup can be used to hold water, and it can be used to drink water. If you design a cup and you don't even know where to put water, then obviously you're failing with this cup. ”

"Therefore, in the future, our software should not only implement various functions, but also think from the user's point of view. Do they like this function, do they need it, are they easy to use, and is there a more convenient way to do it?"

In fact, this knowledge does not need to be discussed at all in later generations.

Because in the era of mobile Internet in the future, UI interface design has been a problem that countless people understand.

It's just that now that the traditional Internet has just risen, many later theories are not clear and thorough.

But now Li Nan, under Chen Yu's constant nudges, is seeing the light of day, and all kinds of things that can't be figured out are figured out at once.

"Ah, Li Nan, why are you still here?"

"Mr. Chen, I want to continue to listen to your inspiration?"

"Uh......"

Chen Yu burst into tears.

This guy is still addicted to listening.

How can that work.

I'm just at this level, and then I continue, how can there be so much to say.

However, the force is still finished, Chen Yu said lightly: "The knowledge of computers and the Internet is as graceful as the ocean, even if we exhaust our life's efforts, we may not be able to finish speaking, explain thoroughly, and study well." If you want to become one of them, you have to go deep into the ocean, observe more, and practice more. ”

"Thank you Mr. Chen for your teachings. ”

At this time, Li Nan had completely worshipped.
