Product Description
Review
"A near definitive guide which covers not only HCI but also the issues which effect and are affected by human computer interaction." (M2 Communications, 7 June 2002)
"...an excellent foundation for teaching interaction design, and a good text for self-study in the skills involved. I cannot recommend it too highly..." (AISB Quarterly, Summer 2002)
“…consists of a wide range of issues that go beyond the traditional scope of human-computer interaction…useful to students…research and development people will find stimulating ideas on the potential of the web and of wireless and collaborative technologies…” (Computer Bulletin, September 2002)
“…useful and usable by multidisciplinary teams…” (Human / Computer Interaction Bibliography, September 2002)
“…the practicing professional will get a lot from this…supported by an innovative web site…” (Atlantic Systems Guild, September 2002)
"…a must-read…unique, inspiriring…" (SIGHCI Newsletter)
Book Description
Accomplished authors, Preece, Rogers and Sharp, have written a key new textbook on this core subject area. Interaction Design deals with a broad scope of issues, topics and paradigms that has traditionally been the scope of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Interaction Design (ID). The book covers psychological and social aspects of users, interaction styles, user requirements, design approaches, usability and evaluation, traditional and future interface paradigms and the role of theory in informing design. The topics will be grounded in the design process and the aim is to present relevant issues in an integrated and coherent way, rather than assembling a collection of chapters on individual HCI topics.
KEY FEATURES:
* This truly integrated approach to HCI provides students with background information from psychology, sociology, anthropology, information systems and computer science
* Provides principles and skills for designing any technology through the use of many interesting and state of the art examples
* The author supported, highly interactive Web Site provides resources that allow students to collaborate on experiments, participate in design competitions, collaborate on design, find resources and communicate with others
* The accompanying Web Site also features examples, step-by-step exercises and templates for questionnaires
CONTENTS:
Preface
1. What is interaction design?
Interview with Gitta Saloman
2. Understanding and conceptualizing interaction
Interview with Terry Winograd
3. Understanding users
4. Understanding and designing for collaboration and communication
Interview with Abigail Sellen
5. Understanding how interfaces affect users
6. The process of interaction design
Interview with Gillian Crampton Smith
7. Identifying needs and establishing requirements
Interview with Suzanne Robertson
8. Design, prototyping and construction
9. User-centered approaches to interaction design
Interview with Karen Holtzblatt
10. Introducing evaluation
11. A framework for evaluation
12. Observing users
Interview with Sara Bly
13. Asking users and experts
Interview with Jakob Nielsen
14. Testing and modeling users
Interview with Ben Shneiderman
15. Doing design and evaluation in the real world: communicators and advisory systems

Too much padding,
By H. Yang (Athens, GA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction (Paperback)
The book is long-winded and filled with copious padding stuff. The authors seem forgot the basic design principle. It is extremely annoying to read the same material again and again on the same page and in different chapters, especially when the material covered is already common sense in nature.

2.0 out of 5 stars
not appropriate for computer science students,
This review is from: Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction (Paperback)
I used the first edition of this book to teach a undergraduate course in interface design a couple of years ago found it to be adequate, but not great. I tried using the second edition this year and found it to be much worse (basically 'dumbed down' for a general audience). The book lacks technical detail, opting instead to use fuzzy descriptions of general techniques. Lots of high-level description of different interaction paradigms, but little in the way of useful techniques for actually creating interfaces. I had to add significant amounts of additional material on the nuts and bolts of producing a quality interface.This book would probably appeal to a non-technical audience such as a humanities-based design course, but is inappropriate for a technically-oriented program. I will be looking for a different text next year.
5.0 out of 5 stars
University Student's Take on this Book's Service,
This review is from: Interaction Design: Beyond Human-Computer Interaction (Paperback)
Very professional service, I recieved my book in the expected time frame. The quality and condition of the book was amazing, considering I bought it at almost half the original price!
