Description
In a field spanning computer science, psychology, and industrial engineering, this textbook outlines development methods and software tools for designing software interfaces, describes the five primary user interaction styles, and considers critical design decisions that can determine the difference between the success and failure of products. The fourth edition deletes the chapter on the web and instead describes web-based and mobile device designs throughout. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
