The book Designing with the Mind in Mind, by Jeff Johnson, has 2 5-star reviews on Amazon so far. This book is a look at the cognitive psychology behind user interface rules. A great fit for those interested in how the brain works as well as those designing things humans look at, this book takes you inside the mind to explain why we have the design rules we do.
A couple of excerpts from the reviews:
“In my view, the book has opened up entirely novel alleys of how we will interact with computers in the future. I think, Jeff Johnson goes even further: he allows me a glimpse into a new world of communication, one that is based on modern neurobiology.” –Dr. Joachim Gruber, Berlin, Germany
“…the approach taken here is remarkable for its elegance and conciseness. Anyone in the business of designing a software product that is complex enough to have an associated “learning curve” will find here many good ideas for minimizing the curve’s steepness. The book’s own learning curve is very gentle, despite the wealth of ideas.” D. Bullock, Newton, MA USA
The book is available through MKP directly, or via Amazon.com in print and Kindle versions.
Hi,
the book is VERY GOOD! I read it in a week. I develop GUI by 20 years and I found a lot of useful hints!
