Un'ottima guida con i principali pattern (e anti-pattern) da usare nelle interfacce web. Praticamente tutte le tecniche richiedono javascript, oltre a css2 e html, e il manuale si concentra principalmente sul "movimento" delle pagine web, e non tanto sullo stile e sull'usabilità di pagine statiche. Un ottimo riferimento da tenere sulla scrivania e sfogliare quando si pensa "potrei usare questo effetto grafico", per verificare se l'idea ha controindicazioni o è una pratica usabile. "Solo" 4 stell...more
Based on a set of six clear principles, Designing Web Interfaces shows the reader how to create an engaging web experience. Peppering in quotes from the Apple Human Interface Guidelines, Alan Cooper and others, this volume understands that it stands on the shoulders of giants.
Until I read this book, I did not realize just how much more joy a person can have exploring a well designed site.

I bought this book because I thought it would be about designing interfaces, aka general information and theory sprinkled with design patterns. Instead, the whole book is just a huge list of wonderfully documented design patterns for web interfaces. The book is divided into sections, each preceded with brief principle/rule. Sections contain chapters, chapters contain descriptions of design patterns. All description follow the same format and are very easy to read; the flow of this documentation...more
A well written book explaining in both human behavior and UI design/development terms what can be efficient t use when trying to achieve certain goals. Creating interfaces can be a logical and straightforward process, but it requires an intuitive understanding of why certain patterns of behavior are best sustained when we use certain web languages that make interaction fluent and easy.
Interesting book on interface design.
It presents interface patterns such as in-page editing, drag n' drop, animations, contextual tools and overlays, along with tips and examples.
For me, it was useful to establish an archive of possibilities to use on a web application and to provide a common language of web design elements.

I learned in reading this book that I like books with more code. This is mostly examples with nice pictures to illustrate them. Read my full review.
I refer back to this book when I need an idea on how to make an interface shine. There's not too much writing, more examples, and it's great for brainstorming.
This book provides some great design examples (pros and cons and gotchas of each) - I found it to be both interesting and helpful!
Cool for ideas
I've been reading this book on-and-off for several months. And I now realize I've been using it more as a reference when I work on certain projects - which it's really great for. As I am cleaning books out of my shelves, I am thinking this might be one of those I need to keep. It's gonna be a 'go-to' book again and again! (I need to write a review as I promised Janice + the Dallas UX Bookclub; hopefully there'll be another meeting in the very near future)
Great collection of design patterns, some of the examples already look dated, but the concepts still very much apply to web design and development today. Great read to get you focused on richer user experience.
Starting to read this book, Its supposed to dive very deep in the subject and provide even insight into the future of interface design. The book is written by Bill Scott who was the genius behind Netflix and Yahoo's interface design.
Practical, useful, insightful.

Recommends it for:
interaction designers, web designers, user interface developers
as most of my user experience/usability career has been in the commercial/industrial/embedded space, I needed to acquire a web vocabulary. I could look at a web page and know that "this is bad" but not know why. The design principles, patterns and examples are excellent.
