…because it is sunny again in Seattle! w00t! I am now done updating the site for the moment. I condensed the nonsense on here thanks to the informal usability advice of “Richard Branson.” Today is my last day off this week so I would plan on tanning, but there are definitely a lot of construction workers that can see me. So maybe not so much.
And borrowed from the amazing D.A. Clements, Information School lecturer and mentor extraordinaire, 5 books to read on web design/interaction design from the iSchool webmaster:
- BIll Buxton. Sketching User Experience
- DK Van Duyne, JA Landry, JI Hong. Design of Sites
- Jenifer Tidwell. Designing Interfaces
- Dan Brown (not the Da Vinci Code guy). Communicating Design
- Andrew Dupont. Practical Prototyping and Scriptaculous
I’ve read parts of the Bill Buxton and I think Tidwell books, but not the others. Now I have time to read this stuff, but I’m still finishing the Polar Bear book. I’ve skimmed it before, but I’m trying to pay attention this time. I didn’t realize Scriptaculous was supposed to be any better for prototyping than another Javascript library, but the same things can probably be applied to other libraries.
