Designing human-computer interfaces is still an art, learned best by creating many interfaces and carefully observing how real users interact with them. However, there are many tools from cognitive psychology that, if understood and applied, can yield at least two benefits. First, by learning what is known about how humans operate, you can avoid many pitfalls in design. Second, you can make quantitative design decisions. This book, though nearly 20 years old, contains much essential material that is unknown to many practitioners in the field! - Jef Raskin

Reviews the features and applications of a broad range of computer software systems that allow the user to choose the sequence of text or other display at the time of use.

This comprehensive introduction to the field represents the best of the published literature on groupware and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). The papers were chosen for their breadth of coverage of the field, their clarity of expression and presentation, their excellence in terms of technical innovation or behavioral insight, their historical significance, and their utility as sources for further reading. Taken as a whole, the papers and their introductions are a complete sourcebook to the field. 

Today's increasingly competitive and fiscally constrained business environment is fostering the need to cut costs and justify expenditures. Usability engineering is not yet universally accepted, nor is it yet an integrated aspect of software engineering, and would-be usability champions need more help than ever to win the funding necessary to introduce and promote usability engineering techniques.

With the world continuing to shrink into a "global village," software companies are working to make programs that transcend language and cultural borders. One such way is through international user interfaces where the software is prepared so that it can be easily localized in each country. This book focuses on user interfaces, exploring what they can do, and what they need to do to become commercially viable.

Introducing a proven user interface design model for the design and development of high-quality user interfaces, this new edition is a professional guide to designing traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) and object- oriented graphical user interfaces, plus high-quality character-based interfaces, and state- of-the-art multimedia user interfaces. Covers prototyping and usability testing; multimedia user interfaces, including discussions of sound, high- resolution images, and full-motion video; task analysis; the three most popular statistical methods; and documentation and training issues. For user interface specialists, programmers, systems analysts, system designers, project leaders, and system engineers.

The Elements of User Interface Design is written by a cognitive psychologist and interface design specialist with more than a decade's research and design experience. Writing for novices and veteran developers and designers alike, Dr. Mandel takes you from command-line interfaces and graphical-user interfaces (GUIs) to object-oriented user interfaces (OOUIs) and cutting-edge interface technologies and techniques. Throughout, coverage is liberally supplemented with screen shots, real-life case studies, and vignettes that bring interface design principles to life.

Task analysis is an important aspect of user interface design, insuring that the end product is usable and practical. Written by task analysis experts, this book is the first book that provides full-length coverage of task analysis. It covers in detail every step of the task analysis process, and discusses the methodologies behind it.

Developing User Interfaces is targeted at the programmer who will actually implement, rather than design, the user interface. Most user interface books focus on psychology and usability, not programming techniques. This book recognizes the need for programmers to collaborate with usability experts and psychologists, so topics such as the principles of visualization, human perception, and usability evaluation are touched upon. Yet the primary focus remains on those tools and techniques required for programming the complex user interface. Focuses on advanced programming topics event handling interaction with geometric objects widget tool kits input syntax Useful to programmers using any language-no particular windowing system or tool kit is presumed, examples are drawn from a variety of commercial systems, and code examples are presented in pseudo code The basic concepts of traditional computer graphics such as drawing and three-dimensional modeling are covered for readers without a computer graphics background.
