Abstract
For several years, Bruce Tognazzini held the intriguing job title of user interface evangelist and had the responsibility for persuading independent software developers to design usable interface and follow specified user interface standards. This book is mostly a collection of monthly essays he wrote in that role. The book stands out in the current crowd of user interface books for several reasons: It is practically the only one written firmly from the perspectives of graphical user interfaces, personal computers (instead of mainframes or departmental computing), and fast-moving independent software development. Also, it includes unique coverage of several important practical topics in commercial user interface design.
