Here's what's on my bookshelf. Of these, I like Mullet /Sano and Spolsky the best: Title: The Humane Interface Author: Jef Raskin ISBN: 0-201-37937-6 Jef Raskin invented the Macintosh user interface. This is an interesting read, with some applicability to design inside a browser environment, but mostly aimed at programmers IMHO. Title: Designing Visual Interfaces Authors: Kevin Mullet, Darrell Sano ISBN: 0-13-303389-9 "Describes fundamental techniques that can be used to enhance the visual quality of graphical user interfaces." I like this book a lot, and wish more web designers would read it. Title: Constructing the User Interface with Statecharts Author: Ian Horrocks ISBN: 0-201-34278-2 Highly technical exposition of the Statecharts method for user interface design. Formal methods. Aimed at software engineers. Title: Usability Engineering Author: Jacob Nielsen ISBN: 1-12-518406-9 "The purpose of Nielsen's Usability Engineering is to help nontechnical people improve the systems so that they are not only error-free, but easier and more pleasant to use, and more efficient." User Interface Design for Programmers Author: Joel Spolsky ISBN: 1-893115-94-1 Chapter 9: People Can't Read. Chapter 10: People Can't Control the Mouse. Chapter 11: People can't Remember. Chapter 13: Those Pesky Usability Tests. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:198847 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
