Product Description

The classic text, Interaction Design by Sharp, Preece and Rogers is back in a fantastic new 2^nd Edition!

New to this edition:

• Completely updated to include new chapters on Interfaces, Data Gathering and Data Analysis and Interpretation, the latest information from recent research findings and new examples
• Now in full colour
• A lively and highly interactive Web site that will enable students to collaborate on experiments, compete in design competitions, collaborate on designs, find resources and communicate with others
• A new practical and process–oriented approach showing not just what principals ought to apply, but crucially how they can be applied

"The best basis around for user–centered interaction design, both as a primer for students as an introduction to the field, and as a resource for research practitioners to fall back on. It should be labelled ′start here′."
—Pieter Jan Stappers, ID–StudioLab, Delft University of Technology

Customer Reviews

Good
This was a book that was on my reading list at Uni. I am really pleased I purchased this book (there is a new edition out). Its very useful guide to HCI and not only assisting my in my HCI module but in my dissertation to give me a good grounding to Usability principles.

Recommended if you are interested in this field, also look at Jakob Nielsen's HCI book range.

Balanced, yet comprehensive information source
There is an equal balance of the psycology behind computer interaction, and pratctical insight.
The book covers a broad area witthin the relm of computer arts, web production, and multimedia.
A real asset i've found, to degree level study.

Interaction Design - Beyond Human Computer Interaction
I would highly recommend this book to anyone studying Human Computer Interaction. It is informative and yet interesting, though a bit theoretical. It would be ideal to use another book with more practical approach to compliment it.
