I realized I neglected to post here that the second edition of my book Designing for Interaction came out in August! It’s available now from Amazon and other fine booksellers.
Some excerpts you might enjoy:
- Table of Contents and Chapter 1: What is Interaction Design? (2.6mb pdf)
- Chapter 4: Design Research (on the New Riders site)
- Chapter 6: Ideation and Design Principles (on Johnny Holland) New chapter!
Other new chapters include Design Strategy (Chapter 3); Design Research Analysis (Chapter 5); and Prototyping and Development (Chapter 8). Most of the rest of the book has been substantially re-written. All in all, I feel it’s a much better introduction to the field than the first edition. (First edition readers: contact me and I’ll be happy to send you the Design Strategy chapter as a pdf for purchasing the “Beta” book!)
Happy reading!
