The landmark book on user interface has been updated. About Face 2.0 : The Essentials of User Interface Design by Alan Cooper discusses the value of design in the development process, an area where we are unfortunately lacking in high-tech. Designed for product managers and their development counterparts, it drills down into user interface design with ample case studies to bring home the value of designing instead of just coding. Updated in 2003 with new examples to reflect current metaphors.
