Touch devices are quickly becoming a dominant form of computing in business and consumer settings. This talk looks at the basic mechanics of touchscreens, specific recommendations for creating touch interfaces, and examples of good and not-so-good touch experiences.

This talk will help you get started in this important, new way of design thinking.
