Publisher's Synopsis
Giving the reader who designs computer systems a method to create usable systems, this book's central argument is that computer systems are tools for humans and that to make usable systems designers must design visually, design for the end use, test the system development to allow change and design the computer dialogue and documentation as a whole book.;The book shows how designers can design rather than just apply guidelines. It goes beyond simple check-lists and gives a way to construct creatively new computing artifacts. It draws on theory, but is written from a practitioner's perspective and shows, through example, how to develop usable computer systems.;The book costs $AUS 20.00 (plus airmail $AUS 15.00). Bulk orders are negotiable.
