商品描述


Description

Students will appreciate this unique guide to interactive system design, reflecting the experience and vision of Jef Raskin, the creator of the Apple Macintosh project. Other books may show how to use today's widgets and interface ideas effectively. Raskin, however, demonstrates that many current interface paradigms are dead ends, and that to make computers significantly easier to use requires new approaches. He explains how to effect desperately needed changes, offering a wealth of innovative and specific interface ideas for software designers, developers, and product managers.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

學生將會喜歡這本獨特的互動系統設計指南,它反映了蘋果麥金塔項目的創造者Jef Raskin的經驗和視野。其他書籍可能會有效地展示如何使用當今的小工具和界面理念。然而,Raskin卻證明了許多現有的界面範例都是死胡同,要使電腦更容易使用,需要新的方法。他解釋了如何進行迫切需要的改變,並為軟體設計師、開發人員和產品經理提供了大量創新和具體的界面理念。
