You’re new at your job. You’re a project manager and you’ve just been tasked with overseeing the new website. You’re thrilled! But you’re also freaked out because you’ve never led a project like this in your life. Don’t despair. In this video course, web design vets Jen Kramer and Heather O’Neill will put your mind at ease and mentor you towards gold.

Along the way, you’ll learn about project outlines, must-know business concepts (value proposition, success metrics, etc.), branding, ethnographic research, market research, personas, information architecture, UX design, usability testing, and more. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to deliver a website specification that’s ready to code...and impress your boss.

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.Addison B.
