4.0 out of 5 stars A good start for HCI designer, May 6, 2000

Hui Li (Tucson, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Human-Computer Interaction for Software Designers (Tutorial Guides in Computing and Information Systems) (Paperback)

This is a good book if you are beginner and want to have an over view of issues in human computer interaction arena. Assuming you have knowledge on the details of implementation (MVC, etc), this book can help you broaden your GUI design. It is very helpful for me to design a knowledge managment system. Several interesting examples. I rank it as four star. ...elm, if you are interested in HCI and just begin, you may like it.
