Description
In the years since Jakob Nielsen's classic collection on interface consistency first appeared, much has changed, and much has stayed
the same. On the one hand, there's been exponential growth in the opportunities for following or disregarding the principles of interface
consistency-more computers, more applications, more users, and of course the vast expanse of the Web. On the other, there are the principles
themselves, as persistent and as valuable as ever.
In these contributed chapters, you'll find details on many methods for seeking
and enforcing consistency, along with bottom-line analyses of its benefits and some warnings about its possible dangers. Most of what
you'll learn applies equally to hardware and software development, and all of it holds real benefits for both your organization and your
users.
