Hey all ...
Favorite books, anyone? Either the ones that changed your perception in some way, or books that you reach for all the time?
I'm currently reading "Ambient Findability" (http://www.amazon.com/Ambient-Finda...2252144?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1187282139&sr=8-1)
and ... it's slow going, but pretty interesting as philosophy.
I'm struggling a lot at my place of employment with software development managers who think in terms of "looks nice" while I try to keep focus on "what would our user/customer make of this?" ... they say "usability" without knowing what its principles are.
How do you balance use and esthetics in your own work?
Hmn ... I guess that's a couple topics.
Comments?
