A unique resource to help software developers create a desirable
user experience



Today, top-flight software must feature a desirable user
experience. This one-of-a-kind book creates a design process
specifically for software, making it easy for developers who lack
design background to create that compelling user experience.
Appealing to both tech-savvy designers and creative-minded
technologists, it establishes a hybrid discipline that will produce
first-rate software. Illustrated in full color, it shows how to
plan and visualize the design to create software that works on
every level.

* Today's software demands attention to the quality of the user
experience; this book guides you through a practical design process
to achieve that goal

* Approaches the mechanics of design with a process inspired by
art and science

* Avoids the abstract and moves step by step through techniques
you can put to use immediately

* Covers planning your design, tested methods, how to visualize
like a designer, psychology of design, and how to create software
that developers will appreciate

* Explores such elements as choosing the right typeface and
managing interactivity

Design for Software: A Playbook for Developers brings the
art of good design together with the science of software
development to create programs with pizazz.
