Amazon.com

An excellent book for anyone who wants to understand why so much software is so poorly designed -- and an even better book for anyone who wants to DO something about the problem. Must reading (and doing!) for programmers of any level.

Kurzbeschreibung

The cleverest code in the world is worth nothing if a program's interface proves an unwieldy barrier to users. That's why programmers and designers alike will benefit from "About Face: The Essentials of User Interface Design." Here, respected software designer Alan Cooper shares his own real-world experience and design principles so that you, too, can fashion intuitive, effective user interfaces. Applicable to multimedia and Web sites as well as application software, "About Face" is an invaluable resource for design professionals.

This book changed my life. No kidding. Before I discovered this book, I thought I was a pretty decent GUI programmer, but in retrospect, I really had no concept of usability. What I was doing was slapping an interface on top of my code. This book will change the way you design & write software, and even how you use software yourself. And at least in my case, it even changed the way I look at everyday life. I find myself asking why things were designed the way they were, and realizing how much better things could work if they were re-designed with usability in mind.

Cooper mainly looks at the Windows GUI in this book, explaining the basic elements of the GUI, and why they do or do not work well. And he gives suggestions as to how things could be done better.

And he gives some interesting reasons why today's developers design software the way they do.

I highly recommend this book to every developer who has to design/code GUIs. I've actually read through it twice. I can't say that about any other computer-related book I've ever read.

Thought it was great THEORY 14. Januar 2000

If you want to use this book as a cookbook to help you create better Win apps, then it is dated. If you want some of the vision behind the trends in Windows architecture, then it is great.

Easy to read, very interesting.

Format:Taschenbuch
Cooper's book is a must read for anyone serious about user interface design, especially for Windows. It explores a wide range of subjects, from understanding users and the goals of UI design to an analysis of the major Windows user interface components. He has many interesting things to say and a great deal of insight. The presentation (which could be significantly improved with better editing) is enjoyable reading and thought provoking. One oddity - Cooper has a penchant for naming things, but unfortunately he isn't very good at it. The book is filled with original, often bizarre names for user interface concepts and components, but you could never use them in public without embarrassment.

If you are doing Windows user interface development, you should also check out McKay's Developing User Interfaces for MS Windows, which gives a very practical treatment of much of this material and more.

Incredibly Arrogant
I gave this book a '3' because I think it is well written and organized, but I still hated it more than any book I have read in a long time. Lesen Sie weiter...

Learn from this book!
This book focuses on what some of us in the industry have neglected - the user. Ulimately it is our users that will interact with our programs day in and day out. Lesen Sie weiter...

Relevant and powerful thoughts....poorly written
After reading Alan Cooper's latest book, The Inmates are Running the Asylum, I immediately bought this book for more specific information regarding Mr. Cooper's design ideas. Lesen Sie weiter...

Very Much Outdated By 1999
This book is chaotic in its presentation of microscopic case studies from Windows and 16-bit applications of the "old days. Lesen Sie weiter...

Excellent!
The book is thought provoking. It shows an enourmous insight into what we are doing with the users when we present them with a user interface. Lesen Sie weiter...

Brilliant first step towards great Interaction Design

needs a good editor
Cooper offers some good thought provoking ideas, but at times he too long winded. With a good editor this book could have been half the length and twice as good. Lesen Sie weiter...

Bad Reviews By (I suspect) Bad Developers
This book is brilliant. Those that have complained in previous reviews are very likely those that can not get past their horrendous code. Lesen Sie weiter...
