Usability in Practice

Das hier ist ein sehr interessanter Artikel vom Microsoft MSDN Magazine: Usability in Practice - Useful, Usable and Desirable: Usability as a Core Development Competence.

Fourteen years ago, in his book About Face, Alan Cooper made a distinction between two software models: the technical model and the manifest model through which the software "represents its functioning to the user." I prefer the term UI Model to Manifest Model, but whatever term you use, it's an important distinction.

Ein schöner Artikel für den Feierabend.
