Book Reviews of User Interface Design for Programmers
Book Review: Brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is simply one of the best I have ever read. Joel's style is so funny, simple and expressive, and I enjoyed in every moment reading it. I read once that if someone realy understands the subject, then he must be able to explain it in simple way that almost everyone could understand. So, I think Joel truly knows what he's talking about, and not only in this book.Book Review: Excellent, amusing and easy to read. Go buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Joel has a great writing style making this book a delight to read. It covers all the major areas of interface design in a thoroughly pragmatic way. This is user interface design for practical people who want their software or web sites to be used, not hung on the wall of a gallery.The pace is fast, the tone light, but the message important. Go buy it.
Book Review: Excellent, Quick Read, Must Read
Summary: 5 Stars
This book provides a great overview of interface design principles. At the same time, it is easy and entertaining to read. It is perfect reading material for a few hours in the evening or over the weekend, without committing to reading 1000 pages of theoretical know-how. This one you can get done with in a few short hours!Book Review: Fun to read
Summary: 3 Stars
Lots of great stories and examples, good illustration though at times it seems quite disjoint with the text and just thrown in for example's sake.Overall not a whole lot there though. A great idea if it were better executed. Lots of fluff, unfilled pages and wide spacing make for a quick read and empty feeling.
Book Review: Great way to get introduced ...
Summary: 4 Stars
Not only is `User Interface Design for Programmers' a fun read, but it's also a fun way to get introduced to the world of user interface design.It teaches you the basics of UI thinking, while at the same time keeping the "level" high enough for more experienced designers to like it.
