The UX Book
The UX Book: Agile Design for a Quality User Experience, Third Edition, takes a practical, applied, hands-on approach to UX design based on the application of established and emerging best practices, principles, and proven methods to ensure a quality user experience. The approach is about practice, drawing on the creative concepts of design exploration and visioning to make designs that appeal to the emotions of users, while moving toward processes that are lightweight, rapid, and agile--to make things as good as resources permit and to value time and other resources in the process. Designed as a textbook for aspiring students and a how-to handbook and field guide for UX professionals, the book is accompanied by in-class exercises and team projects. The approach is practical rather than formal or theoretical. The primary goal is to imbue an understanding of what a good user experience is and how to achieve it. To better serve this, processes, methods, and techniques are introduced early to establish process-related concepts as context for discussion in later chapters.

Recent models are beginning to overcome challenges such as computational power, data quality and training stability. This edited book on generative AI presents novel perspectives, approaches and methodologies, as well as security, ethical and legal considerations, and future trends. Topics and technologies covered include generative transformers and text generation models, generative models for human-like speech synthesis, generative AI for image synthesis, data synthesis for privacy protection, and exploration of the impact of generative AI in fields including industry 4.0, astronomy, and brain tumour detection. Two chapters offer perspectives on ethics and legality.
