Title:
User-Centered Design
Summary:
This chapter is about how to design a product for the user. One of the key principles is to keep the design simple so the user can understand. Also, let them keep some control, don't automate everything. Finally, design for errors. One way to do this is to standardize things.
Discussion:
Well, this can be one of the hardest things to do. Especially making everything simple, and designing for errors. I read a quote online stating that a Computer Programmer is someone who looks both ways before crossing a one-way street. I think that this quote applies to the design problems of errors. Interestingly enough, I actually saw someone go the wrong way down a one-way street, which made me realize that if there is an error that can be made, there is a user who will make it.
