The Psychology of Everyday Things by Donald A. Norman

 | A joyful book indeed. It explains the "user interface design" principles of the doors, ovens, cars and other things that are used in our everyday life. The book gives many examples of good and bad design issues.
It is interesting to see how Mr. Norman spent so much of his time to understand how human cognition and mind works or fails. Gives you some insight about your own actions. Maybe AI guys may benefit from this book too. The book itself has nothing to do with computers but I think this book should be read by every software designer. |

The Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerald M. Weinberg

| The first book I had read about programming. I have found this book in university library when I was in the first week of my first year in the Computer Engineering Department. I was looking for a book that will teach me programming and I have seen this book that told entertaining stories. At that time I only enjoyed it. But after years passed by I started to realize the importance of reading it as well. And I remember one sentence after 15 years "Programming is a social event."
After I have earned enough money to buy this book I have found out that is was out of stock. Now after all these years, they are publishing a revised version. It will be out soon. Come on, queue in, this book should not be missed. Programmers; this is your life, try to understand it. |
