About Face: The Essentials of User Interface Design

Rating:
Summary: Wonderful to read!
Review: Well Alan Cooper is a man of strong opinions. He states them clearly and strongly. Sometimes you get even the feeling of being yelled at. Sometimes the descriptions are rather abstract. But and most important of all: His claims have substance and are well worth thinking about. But be prepared of being evangelized of thinking in terms of the user. This book is an organized collection of essays from a single author.
My main wish to the author is: Please write a small version with the essence of your book. Something in the style of the great Steve Krug book "Don't make me think".
My second biggest wish: Add a table of references. Yes there are some useful references in the book like Edward Tufte "The visual display of quantitative information", a marvel. I just like them all together at the end. Maybe annotated with some comments.
