Effective UI: The Art of Building Great UX in Software
Het wordt vaak vergeten, maar digitale applicaties (web, mobiel of 'gewoon' computer) zijn feitelijk software. Softwaretoepassingen hebben een gebruikersinterface die vooral bruikbaar moet zijn om prettig te kunnen gebruiken. De auteurs van dit boekwerk laten zien dat bruikbaarheid van software alleen onvoldoende is. Zij beschrijven hoe softwareproducenten ervoor kunnen zorgen dat de gebruiksbeleving van hun toepassingen de moeite van het gebruik en daarmee de aanschaf meer dan waard zijn.
