Review

Review in preparation

 

From the book presentation:

A major revision of a classic reference, GUI Bloopers 2.0 looks at user interface design bloopers from commercial software, Websites, Web applications, and information appliances, explaining how intelligent, well-intentioned professionals make these mistakes – and how you can avoid them. While equipping you with the minimum of theory, author Jeff Johnson presents the reality of interface design in an entertaining, anecdotal, and instructive way.
(From amazon.com, adapted)
