Christophe Porteneuve is here to help: he gives you fundamentals, the most...
Audiovisual storytelling has a long, well-developed history. As far back as
the earliest known prehistoric times, human beings have communicated the
essence of story through the use of pictures and sound: whether it’s cave paintings
of the hunt, a poet proclaiming the epic adventures of Odysseus, Greek
actors performing tragedy...
This is the book we wish we’d had when we were first introduced to agile
methods. We want to show how design and agile are a natural fit together.
How bringing together the people who build the products you design with the
people who use the products you design will lead to better decisions and better
customer...
