HFI - UCA & Conceptual Design

Recently me and few of my friends attended the UCA & Conceptual Design course in HFI, Mumbai. As the course was related to my field. The course was quite informative and exciting to. The course had some hands on exercises which really were GR8. Thanks to Sarit Arora(CUA) Group leader in HFI who made this thing possible. He made the who concept of User Centered Analysis so simple and easy to understand.
The Buzz word "Usability" was always there. Evolution of Usability is a ongoing process where we talk about Human Psychology which changes as per time and evolution. Its really amazing when we talk about Human Brain so called the "Grey Matter" which is so small yet so complex.
Usability in the web world had boomed up during the past few years. I was a designer and use to always think about colors, look N feel. But there was this one thing which i was missing and that was the Users. Lately i have started realizing that its so important.
I have been going through notes about usability on the web, but that was quite abrupt and blur for me as i was missing the process the steps. But now i have realized it after the course.
I will be updating in my blog frequently with some usability stuff. Hope it will be useful for usability enthusiast.
Please do shower your thoughts on usability........
