Interface. Fundamentals of Interaction Design

Alan Cooper began working on the first edition of this book 20 years ago. He convinced programmers that the time had come to reach out to users and start writing programs that they would like. Nowadays, the situation is entirely different - the digitization of all types of information has caused users to dive headfirst into new technologies. The fourth edition of the book takes into account all the changes in the industry that have occurred over the past seven years, while preserving all the ideas from previous editions that have not lost their relevance. Interaction design is a human-centered approach to designing interactive digital products, environments, systems, and services. Much attention is paid to behavioral design - an aspect that traditional design disciplines often neglect. In this book, a goal-oriented approach is prioritized, where designers' main focus is on users' goals (that is, the reasons they use the product), their expectations, worldview, and inclinations. This approach allows for the creation of powerful solutions that are pleasant to work with. 4th edition.
