Review

"This is the kind of book I've been searching for!" — Robert Renman, Augustana University College

"I used your textbook in draft form this past semester for my undergraduate HCI course. It was fantastic. The students loved it, I loved it, and we had a great time. I think they learned a lot." — Mary Jane Wiltshire, School of Engineering, University of Portland

"I realty like the book and think that it would fit into the course I'm going to teach in the fall." — John K. Estelt, Ohio Northern University

Product Description

For one-quarter to one-semester undergraduate courses in Introduction to Human-Computer Interaction courses, Web Design and User Interface Design.

This text is the only one of its kind that addresses Human-Computer Interaction as it relates to Web site design. It stresses principles that can be learned, not just implementation techniques. The text provides a working knowledge of Web design, aimed at creating Web pages and sites that are attractive and user-friendly, plus allows students to become familiar with the concepts and terminology of Web design as a basis for further study.

Only instructors will get the full value of this book 23 Nov 2003
By Brett Merkey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Until it was finally in my hands, I wondered why this book had not received much reviewer attention, given its solid content and authorship. Keys to understanding that at once became obvious:

1) The book is much more expensive than books with similar content.

2) The eloquent Jared Spool, listed as an author, provided only a short preface.

3) The book was designed as a college textbook. Who loves or hates a textbook enough to bother to review it?

As a classroom aid, the book is superb. Usability principles are presented from foundations to applications clearly and without padding. Unlike many usability texts, statements are backed with ample references. The color illustrations lighten the book sufficiently to soften any textbooky stigma.

Each chapter ended with review questions and exercises. Some of them were very interesting and creative, but if you are not in a classroom with an instructor who has access to the password-protected answers, you are on your own.

So the Web professional attracted to the material and learning on his own will inevitably feel a bit cheated out of the full value of the book.

Product was defective 20 Feb 2009
By Manuel Cruz - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Normally, I have had good purchases from Amazon. I will continue to shop for other items here. Unfortunately, the book had words missing from every sentence towards the middle of the book. Also there were full sentences missing at the bottom of the page as if the printing of this book was not checked. I tried to see if I could keep it, because my class had already started, but it was hard to read the chapters when you have words and full sentences missing.

Content Okay - Presentation Poor 15 Feb 2009
By andrea - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
As a previous reviewer suggested, the printing quality of this book is very poor. Every word in each row of the right hand column has been cut off, leaving the reader to guess what should come next. Additionally, this is not a book that is meant to be published in paperback, this is especially evident in the chapter on color, which of course has absolutely no color, but references color wheels (in black and white mind you) and asks you to view images that are meant to show gradations in hue, etc.! One can work through these obstacles, but with a $50+ price tag, you shouldn't have to. The only reason I did not return my copy, was because I needed it for a class in which I was already behind.
