商品描述

What makes an expert software designer? It is more than experience or innate ability. Expert software designers have specific habits, learned practices, and observed principles that they apply deliberately during their design work. This book offers sixty-six insights, distilled from years of studying experts at work, that capture what successful software designers actually do to create great software.

The book presents these insights in a series of two-page illustrated spreads, with the principle and a short explanatory text on one page, and a drawing on the facing page. For example, "Experts generate alternatives" is illustrated by the same few balloons turned into a set of very different balloon animals. The text is engaging and accessible; the drawings are thought-provoking and often playful.

Organized into such categories as "Experts reflect," "Experts are not afraid," and "Experts break the rules," the insights range from "Experts prefer simple solutions" to "Experts see error as opportunity." Readers learn that "Experts involve the user"; "Experts take inspiration from wherever they can"; "Experts design throughout the creation of software"; and "Experts draw the problem as much as they draw the solution."

One habit for an aspiring expert software designer to develop would be to read and reread this entertaining but essential little book. The insights described offer a guide for the novice or a reference for the veteran -- in software design or any design profession.

A companion web site provides an annotated bibliography that compiles key underpinning literature, the opportunity to suggest additional insights, and more.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

什麼使一個專業的軟體設計師?這不僅僅是經驗或天賦的問題。專業的軟體設計師擁有特定的習慣、學習的實踐和觀察到的原則,他們在設計工作中有意識地應用這些。本書提供了從多年觀察專家工作中提煉出的六十六個見解,捕捉到成功的軟體設計師創造優秀軟體時實際所做的事情。

本書以一系列兩頁插圖的形式呈現這些見解,其中一頁是原則和簡短的解釋性文字,另一頁是相對應的圖畫。例如,“專家產生多種選擇”通過同幾個氣球變成一組非常不同的氣球動物來進行說明。文字生動易懂,圖畫發人深省且常常有趣。

這些見解按照“專家反思”、“專家無所畏懼”和“專家打破規則”等類別進行組織,範圍從“專家偏好簡單解決方案”到“專家將錯誤視為機會”。讀者將學到“專家讓用戶參與”、“專家從任何地方獲得靈感”、“專家在軟體創建的整個過程中進行設計”和“專家在解決方案之外也畫出問題”。

對於一個渴望成為專業軟體設計師的人來說,培養一個習慣就是閱讀並反覆閱讀這本有趣但又必不可少的小書。這些見解提供了新手的指南或老手的參考,無論是在軟體設計還是任何設計專業中。

附帶的網站提供了一個註解書目,彙編了關鍵的基礎文獻,並提供了建議其他見解的機會等等。
