Introduction
Welcome to the User-Centered Development Book repository! This book is all about creating software as a service (SaaS) with a strong focus on the user experience. It's designed to help you build products that people will love. The "book" is a living document and work-in-progress. It is still a personal experiment and at this time a collection of my personal notes.
