I agree with Dave. I work in both software and architectural.
When working in software, I am a 'Usability Engineer'. I am not a

I would be very cautious about this topic.
We don't even know definitively what an Interaction Designer is, let
alone how we were all educated.
While we are some 30 years into our existence (depending on what you

I'm a sometimes member of this list so apologies for busting in

Jeff,
You've had some great suggestions here - I particularly agree with Andre
H's recommendation of Paul Heckel's "Elements of Software Design," a
forgotten classic that draws comparisons with other disciplines.
Still, it seems almost all the examples are histories (sort of) of

I always thought of this as the start of interaction design:

Jeff,
The article by Ron Baecker in the recent issue of ACM interactions
seems to be exactly what you need to get the chronology in place and
identify most, if not all, relevant milestones.
Then, I'll second the recommendation for Moggridge in order to get
more detail and personal angles on
I'm a fan of Brad Myers' 1998 "A Brief History of Human Computer

Hi all,
Thanks for the kind words about the Interaction Design History slides. I've
been meaning to do a little version control, but it won't happen tonight. So
I thought I'd say that this one is newer, and slightly improved from the

I gave a presentation on the history of IxD at IDSA in 2005 (under the

It seems slightly askew to what you are asking which is less about
the history of "interaction" and more about the history of
"computer interfaces", but heck, here it is!

Not a book, but Marc Rettig's "Interaction Design History in a

Hey Jeff,
Well, a version of this book is in my head, but that doesn't do you
any good today. Bill Moggridge's Designing Interactions could be close
to what you want. A lot of interviews with people who were there early
on.
