Designing Interfaces by Jenifer Tidwell

This is a good book to start with while learning designing interfaces. I wish there could be more examples of modern web/ software interfaces.

Designing Interfaces: Patterns for Effective… by Jenifer Tidwell

Has helpful tips. A few technical quibbles. Sometimes examples were given of an interactive process with only one screenshot, making it a bit of work to try to figure out what the rest of the interaction looked like. I occassionly had a hard time flipping through looking for a particular pattern.

Really though a good book as far as interface design goes. Certainly one of the better O'Reilly books I've read in a while.

(Lots of good examples for folks to build off of and good references. One of those books I'm tempted to actually purchase for myself instead of just borrowing it from the library ;) ).… (more)
