Introduces 'Quince,' a free, interactive patterns and practices catalog and community resource
to boost developers' UX knowledge
Princeton, N.J. & Elstree, United Kingdom — February 2, 2009 — Infragistics, the world leader in user interface development tools and experts in the User Experience (UX) market, today announced the immediate availability of 'Quince,' a free, interactive UX patterns catalog and community resource to build user interfaces. Quince, Infragistics' resource specifically focused on giving developers guidance to create exceptional user experiences, allows UX pattern discovery, usage and understanding.
"Infragistics has been the world leader in UI development tools for 20 years and we're using the knowledge we've gained there to help developers and designers employ best UX practices. This empowers them to build UIs that are easy-to-use, intuitive, logically organized and look great making those applications much more likely to be accepted, used and subsequently successful in the marketplace," said Dean Guida, CEO of Infragistics. "User Experience is a key market differentiator and with Quince, developers can continually improve their UX design skills and the experience of the software that they create."
Quince, built on top of Microsoft's Silverlight technology, is launching with over 90 of the most commonly used UX patterns. Through Quince, Infragistics has created a community focused on creating exceptional UX where developers can go to:
- Get ideas and inspiration
- See what other developers are doing
- Learn how to create fully-featured, relevant, great-looking UIs
- Give feedback and insight into UIs in the catalog
- Share UI designs
There are absolutely no fees associated with Quince. In order to participate in the community features, developers can register free of charge on www.infragistics.com.
"Quince is about providing more than a 'box of tools' and instead helps developers create an experience that is visually stunning and compelling for the end user," added Guida.
Quince is a product of Infragistics' User Experience team, a group of experts with numerous years of experience publishing, speaking on, and working with UX. In addition to Quince, Infragistics offers UX Services including training and consulting.
