User Interface Design: A Software Engineering Perspective (Paperback)

Description:

For some software designers the interface is still seen as an add-on after the rest of the program has been written, while human-computer interaction specialists see programming as the final task.  This book bridges the gap between the communities by showing how to design screens in a systematic way so that they are easy to understand and support the under interface efficiently. 

Drawing on experience from programmers as well as usability specialists User Interface Design shows the student not only how to design an interface, but also how to make a fully functional interface ? putting theory into practice and highlighting the problems a designer faces when working in a real-world situation.

描述：
對於一些軟體設計師來說，介面仍然被視為在程式的其餘部分編寫完成後的附加功能，而人機互動專家則將程式設計視為最終任務。本書通過展示如何以系統化的方式設計螢幕，使其易於理解並有效地支援介面，以彌合這兩個社群之間的差距。

本書借鑒了程式設計師和可用性專家的經驗，不僅向學生展示如何設計介面，還展示了如何製作一個完全功能的介面 - 將理論付諸實踐，並突出了設計師在實際工作中面臨的問題。
