About Face: The Essentials of Interaction Design, Fourth Edition is the latest update to the book that shaped and evolved the landscape of interaction design. This comprehensive guide takes the worldwide shift to smartphones and tablets into account. New information includes discussions on mobile apps, touch interfaces, screen size considerations, and more. The new full-color interior and unique layout better illustrate modern design concepts. The interaction design profession is blooming with the success of design-intensive companies, priming customers to expect "design" as a critical ingredient of marketplace success. Consumers have little tolerance for websites, apps, and devices that don't live up to their expectations, and the responding shift in business philosophy has become widespread. About Face is the book that brought interaction design out of the research labs and into the everyday lexicon, and the updated Fourth Edition continues to lead the way with ideas and methods relevant to today's design practitioners and developers

This text provides information on designing on an interface and creating new Windows. It contains practical examples.

In this exploration of technology's darker implications, the author highlights the unique "meta function" of computers, which can lead to unintended actions from users. He argues that programmers must reassess the user-hostile elements ingrained in software development. Instead of offering clear options, they often overload users with unnecessary features while neglecting persistent bugs. This complexity contributes to the perception that "computers are hard, mysterious, unwieldy things." The author suggests that those who seem to master these systems have simply become desensitized to poor design. His writing, while occasionally overblown and filled with quirky terminology, raises critical questions about user experience: Are we truly enhancing user satisfaction? Are we streamlining their work processes? Are we making their work hours more productive? He calls on programmers, business leaders, and "interaction designers" to challenge current assumptions and prioritize user experience. The author firmly believes that the aim of technology should be to avoid making users feel inadequate, emphasizing the need to rethink established priorities in software design.

While the ideas and principles in the original book remain as relevant as ever, the examples in "About Face 3" are updated to reflect the evolution of the Web. Interaction Design professionals are constantly seeking to ensure that software and software-enabled products are developed with the end-user's goals in mind, that is, to make them more powerful and enjoyable for people who use them. "About Face 3" ensures that these objectives are met with the utmost ease and efficiency. Alan Cooper (Palo Alto, CA) has spent a decade making high-tech products easier to use and less expensive to build - a practice known as "Interaction Design." Cooper is now the leader in this growing field

First published seven years ago, just before the World Wide Web's rise, this book quickly became a bestseller. While the original ideas remain relevant, the second edition features updated examples reflecting the Web's evolution. Interaction Design professionals strive to develop software and software-enabled products that align with end-user goals, making them more powerful and enjoyable. This edition ensures these objectives are met with ease and efficiency. Alan Cooper, a pioneer in Interaction Design, has dedicated a decade to making high-tech products user-friendly and cost-effective. He is recognized as a leader in this field and has authored two bestselling texts that are considered essential in the industry. One introduced a comprehensive set of practical design principles, while the other critiques how companies often create frustrating products that fail to meet customer expectations. Robert Reimann, with 15 years of experience in digital product design, has worked on various interaction design projects across multiple domains for both startups and Fortune 500 companies. Since joining Cooper in 1996, he has contributed to the development of many goal-directed design methods discussed in this edition and has shared his knowledge through lectures at major universities and international industry events. He is also on the advisory board of the UC Berkeley Institute of Design.
