"Better read this book, or your design will be featured in Bloopers II. Seriously, bloopers may be fun in Hollywood outtakes, but no movie director would include them in the final film. So why do we find so many bloopers in shipped software? Follow Jeff Johnson as he leads the blooper patrol deep into enemy territory: he takes no prisoners but reveals all the design stupidities that users have been cursing over the years."

-Jakob Nielsen
Usability Guru, Nielsen Norman Group

"If you are a software developer, read this book, especially if you don't think you need it. Don't worry, it isn't filled with abstract and useless theory--this is a book for doers, code writers, and those in the front trenches. Buy it, read it, and take two sections daily."

-Don Norman
President, UNext Learning Systems


GUI Bloopers looks at user interface design bloopers from commercial software, Web sites, and information appliances, explaining how intelligent, well-intentioned professionals made these dreadful mistakes--and how you can avoid them. While equipping you with all the theory needed to learn from these examples, GUI expert Jeff Johnson also presents the reality of interface design in an entertaining, anecdotal, and instructive way.

This is an excellent, well-illustrated resource for anyone whose work touches on usability issues, including software engineers, Web site designers, managers of development processes, QA professionals, and usability professionals.

Features

  • Takes a learn-by-example approach that teaches you to avoid common errors by asking the appropriate questions of your own interface designs.
  • Includes two complete war stories, drawn from the author's personal experience, that describe in detail the challenges faced by UI engineers.
  • Covers bloopers in a wide range of categories: GUI components, layout and appearance, text messages, interaction strategies, Web site design, responsiveness issues, management decision-making, and even more at www.GUI-bloopers.com.
  • Organized and formatted based on the results of its own usability testing--so you can quickly find the information you need, packaged in easily digested pieces.

「如果你不讀這本書,你的設計可能會出現在《Bloopers II》中。說真的,拍攝失誤在好萊塢的花絮中可能很有趣,但是沒有電影導演會將它們包含在最終的電影中。那麼為什麼我們在已發行的軟體中找到這麼多失誤呢?跟隨Jeff Johnson帶領的失誤巡邏隊深入敵區:他不留活口,揭示了多年來使用者一直在詛咒的所有設計愚蠢。」
