?Turn left turn right
"You only need to imagine yourself walking on a passenger plane through boarding bridge, when you walk into the plane door, you are facing a choice, just go to the driver's cockpit, or go on the right to enter the passenger cockpit." The cockpit into the driver means you need to manipulate the complex meter, at the same time, you have control, you have a responsibility to let the plane land in the right place. Going to the right into the cabin means you abandon all control power on the plane, and you can fully relax yourself, don't have to consider any questions related to the plane driving.
Mr. Alan Cooper is divided into two categories: "Logic" walking left, has a strong control, I hope to understand the technical details, and "ordinary people" go to the right, I hope that things are as simple as possible, and There is confidence in "let the plane smoothly landed". In the software industry, computer programmers are the category of "logic".
Logic and ordinary people are very different, this is why I still heard the story about "wishful path", this story usually happens at the exhibition or in the customer's location, innocent business person is holding yesterday's technical personnel Everything is a normal demo software to demonstrate the customer, suddenly, squatting out a dialog with a red cross, and writing a serious mistake, even, the demo system collapsed.
"Windows system is always like this, easy to crash ..." After a burst, a business person said this to narrate his reaction, and such an occasion really made him profound.
The reason is what, because only the programmer knows how the software is "like path", they know how to operate the most smoothly, know how to avoid the operation and input data, that is, they understand the internal software Principle, including normal and abnormal parts, but these abnormal portions are usually only in their minds, there is no tips and considerations on the interface. This software is his own "use", others can't "use".
Not all, this is just an extreme example. In some cases, it is really clear that "logic" is characterized, in this book, you can also see many vivid examples and Discussion, profoundly analyzing the difference between "logic" and "ordinary people", including programmers to pay attention to the possibility, not rationality, like to simplify their work without considering the convenience of users, etc.
Third person station
We can learn more about programmers, so that they can make them better; we also need to know more about users, understand their feelings, understand their expectations, and provide them with better software.
Let programmers understand more users? I think that the programmer understands some of the more interactive design knowledge, but it also needs a person to help. Who stood in the middle? That is a role called "Interaction Designer", his task is "Accurately describe our users and the goals hope to achieve".
I joked, the relationship between the three people can also be very stable, if the third person is coordinated and promoted to other two parties.
An important interaction design method is "role" (Mr. Cooper is called "Personas"); there are still some important interaction design principles, design for performance, design, design for people, for joy Design, it is not only the availability design, but also an experience design.
Conclusion
"What will I get when the computer is hybridized with aircraft?"
"What will I get when the computer is mixed with the camera?"
"What will I get when the computer is hybridized with the alarm?"? "What will I get when the computer is hybridized with car?"
"What will I get when the computer is mixed with banks?"
"What will I get when the computer is mixed with warships?"
? Yes, get "Computer"! When computers and software are getting closer and closer, we have the right to make them yourself, bring us convenient and pleasant, not to add trouble, or torture us. Going out of high-tech creative cages, with more free interactive experience, Mr. Alan Cooper has raised the fire, it is our time to pay attention to interactive design technology!

I used to have a pig, how to Always use the software we have developed. After reading this book, we don't have the software to design well, and the software to do should design as a pig. "
