2.0 out of 5 stars Not an indepth tutorial, September 3, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: A Guide to Usability: Human Factors in Computing (Paperback)
This book provides an overview of items to consider when creating a software application. This book is an easy read that talks about many usability topics, however it doesn't really go into much detail on any of them. It will not teach you how to do usability evaluations or design any experiments. I would recommended this book to people that want to get vaguely familiar with usability. I would not recommend this book to someone that wanted to learn how to do usability evaluations or learn indepth details on designing usable interfaces.
