Excellent textbook for undergraduate and graduate HCI students!
By Jaime Sanchez
As a Human-Computer Interaction University Associate Professor I was delighted with the new edition of Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction (5th Edition).

It was entirely renewed and fully updated.

I have shared this textbook with my HCI undergraduate and graduate HCI students this semester and they liked it a lot and found it touches well and thoroughly current HCI issues!

Ben Shneiderman and Catherine Plaisant present and discuss timely most key HCI theories, concepts, ideas and applications.

I strongly recommend this book for academic and professional HCI courses.

Reasonably Good Information
By Lisa Shea
I've been writing computer code since the 1970s and have seen a wide variety of user interfaces - thermal paper rather than a screen, single-color displays, full color displays, mice, pens, keyboards, and other options. User interfaces are always changing and updating and being tweaked. With that in mind, I find it admirable that a book tries to document exactly what the current state of interfaces is - and not too surprising that the book can become obsolete the moment it comes off the presses.

So a portion of the book is common sense that can apply to creating interfaces in any decade. Your interface needs to be easy for a brand new user to use. It should provide "training wheels" for those new to the system, and then ease them into full use. A well done design should account for both elderly users and disabled users.

Various concepts are covered, like:

gulf of execution - mismatch between user's intentions and allowable actions
gulf of evaluation - mismatch systems representation and user's expectations

On one hand you could say these are good foundations for any designer to understand. You want to create icons that users understand without a thick manual. You want users to be able to quickly get the hang of your system and enjoy using it. But on the other hand, the book almost seems to assume that the user has never seen a keyboard or mouse before starting in to the topic. Surely readers know what a menu is, and how to navigate it. I'm all for books covering the basics and then going on to more complex topics, but the book wallows a little too much in those basics.

Also, the language tends to sway between incredibly simple and incredibly dense. Where the book teaches you to identify and speak to your audience, the book itself isn't able to do that well. Sometimes it assumes the reader is a visitor from the 1800s who has never heard of a computer, never mind tried to use one. Then a few pages later the page is describing a situation with incredibly technical language that is unclear even to experienced programmers.

Still, if we assume the purpose of this book is to give an overview about what things a designer should consider when creating a design, the book does that well. It has a variety of graphics drawn from current websites, that will help the content be understandable to web-savvy users. If you complain that some of the tips are extremely obvious, you can give that same complaint about just about any book you read. They have to include obvious tips as well as the advanced ones, so they cover all the bases.

So how to rate this? As an esoteric "overview of how computers should work" I give it 4/5 stars. It has generally accurate information, with helpful graphics, and while the language is sometimes oversimplified and sometimes obtuse, it generally is quite readable.

However, know going into it that the book is meant for this type of an overview. This is NOT a book I would ever give to any web designer or interface designer as a helpful tool to use and keep on the shelf. You can't flip the book open to a section to get tips on designing areas of your application. You can't scan through charts telling you what to do and what to avoid. While many other books are laid out well for this sort of purpose, Designing the User Interface is not.

When I read my many other books on computers and design, I amassed copious notes that I would use in my programming life. When I finished this one, I had accumulated barely a page of notes at the end.

Not sure what to say about this book
By Philip Schielke
I'm writing this as a computer science instructor, that had very LITTLE familiarity with this field before picking up this book.
The good: It's clear that the authors have a wealth of experience in the field. I actually like the bibliography at the end of each chapter. I'm making my students read some of the journal articles from there. Book covers a broad range of topics.
The bad: This book seems like less of a textbook and more of a survey of the entire breadth of the field. As a computer scientist I often found myself wanting more data, or more details on certain topics. Many of the "findings" of researchers are simply mentioned in passing, as in so-and-so discovered this. Many times I was yearning for more details. Other areas where I didn't want a lot of detail I got more than I wanted. As a die-hard computer scientist I found the book a bit touchy-feely and wishy-washy for my tastes. There seemed to be a lot of subjective statements, and opinions stated without accurately representing the other side. For example the author comes out very strongly against anthropomorphic design (which I tend to agree with), and makes sweeping statements about how users always prefer to NOT have this sort of design. Yet, research in using anthropomorphic interfaces in healthcare has shown that most users prefer such a design (at least in the limited domains of the research.) Many of the revolutionary discoveries in the book my students saw as common sense. (Granted it's hard to see that someone had to invent or discover certain design concepts that we take for granted now.) The students felt they were being talked down to by the author's and longed for more CS heavy material.
I've read journal articles by the first author and they read much better than most of the book. Perhaps it's a bad editing job on the book?
The ugly: The PPT slides provided by the publisher are TERRIBLE. Fonts are too small, misspellings, images with text are cut and pasted into the slides and the text becomes too small, and blocky if expanded. Information that is emphasized in the text gets one slide, whereas certain paragraphs in the book that are not emphasized get 4 or 5 slides. I cannot say enough about how bad the slides are.

Good book!
By Richard Hazey
This book is well organized and concisely written. Each chapter stands on its own and can be read independently, which fits my style and allows for reading it as time permits. The chapters each contain some theory or explanation as well as copious amounts of code and real world examples. The use cases were also helpful in understanding situations where the design patterns could be implemented.

I purchased the eBook version which had links embedded in the text for additional detail and in-depth explanations on related topics. I like to explore as I read and learn, so this was a welcome feature.

The only con for me was that it's written for Python 3, however, the concepts apply to Python 2 and other languages. Eventually I will move to Python 3 and this was a gave me a chance to try Python 3.

I recommend if you want to learn about design patterns and you're a Python user.

New ideas to refactor and optimize your code
By Matteo
If you need to find new ideas on how to optimize or make your code more easy to interpret this book will give you several examples of code structures to make it more efficient or more simple to interpret. The book writing style is a bit dry and it's not for beginners(you need to know what python is about and how to code with it or you will get lost) but the core content is sound so if you know your stuff and you want to learn new coding styles this book is for you.

Excellent training resource for new graduates
By Allison Squires
Filled with self paced modules applicable to the critical care, emergency room, and medical-surical setting, High Acuity Nursing is an excellent clinical resource to supplement orientation & training programs of new graduate nurses. Organized by body system, it integrates A&P, clinical nursing applications, and critical thinking all in one. I used it with my new graduates when orienting them to the IMCU, ED, and med-surg units. They found the information helpful in tying in the clinical content they were learning during orientation and the practical application of it. They rated the self learning modules highly in the evaluations. Internal transfers into the ICU have also found it to be helpful when orienting to that new setting.

High Acuity Nursing
By Stacy Lynn BSN, RN, CCRN
This book has been very helpful to our new nurses who seem overwhelmed when they first get out of school. Self-paced modules help them incoorporate their knowledge with the types of patients they take care of. I have used this book for seasoned nurses too. They like the validation they get from being able to pre- and post-test.

A great teaching and learning tool for all nurses looking to review or to upgrade skills.

ARISEN
Book One - Fortress Britain

When the Zombie Apocalypse came, one country had shut down its borders in response to a major terrorist attack. Now Fortress Britain is the last bastion of the living - with 50 million beleaguered survivors facing down a world of 7 billion animated corpses.

And when civilization fell, one international team of supremely elite special operators was being assembled for a nearly impossible mission, deployed out of the SAS barracks at Hereford. Supremely trained and armed, always the most skilled, resolved, and unstoppable amongst us, now the commandos of Alpha team are humanity's last best hope for survival. Searching through the detritus of fallen Europe, scavenging pharmaceutical labs for clues to a vaccine that might bring humanity back from the brink, now they are tasked with one last desperate operation.

They must cross the Atlantic aboard the world's only remaining supercarrier, insert by air into the very middle of a dead continent, and then fight their way on foot through a city of 3 million ravening dead guys. But these Zulus will not be like any zombies they have ever fought before...

Top notch zombie series
By Horror Fan
There are a ton of zombie novels on the market, many of which are of unimaginative and/or predictable. The Arisen series is a smart, clever, fast-paced thrill ride that takes the reader inside an elite military team that may be mankind's last, best hope to finding a vaccine against the zombie virus. Despite their specialized skill set, the members of this team are also clearly depicted as flawed human beings who are more than one-dimensional killing machines. You get to know them as people who are dealing with all the same doubts and fears as the rest of the remaining living humans except they've made the choice to sacrifice their personal issues to dive headlong into the fray so mankind may have hope. Truly riveting. If you enjoy the zombie genre but are tired of one dimensional stories and characters, give this series a try. You won't be disappointed.

Team Alpha rocks
By Kindle Customer
I like a good zombie romp and this book has action in spades. As another reviewer commented, the zombie fighting is a bit slower in the second half of the story but it serves as a nice setup to the following book. The "Suicide Squad" flavor of their frantic early missions make up for any lag in my opinion, and the authors take the time to develop the characters more than is usually seen, with the exception of Ali. I hope we find out more about her story in the second book, since she is one of my favorite characters despite her air of mystery.

Amazingly well-written action thriller
By Huckabloon
This is an astonishingly well-researched and highly plausible novel about a viral infection causing a global "Zombie Apocalypse". The writing is quite good and engaging - full of action scenes that had me frantically reaching out for the "Next Page" button on my Kindle. The level of realism in this novel is what really sets it apart - the authors just seem to get everything right down to the finest details. I can't wait for the next installment!

What seemed like 90% of the book was an elaboration of what ...
By Thomas D.
There is real reason to doubt this book but after reading it, it is undoubtedly worth a full and thorough read. Yes, as may be expected with any book about how to think it is full of information that is obvious and abstract. However, its biggest flaw if any is that much of its small and airy volume is full of reiterations of the same information and concepts. What seemed like 90% of the book was an elaboration of what had been summed up in a few sentences in the first chapter and therefore seemed fairly obvious. That being said, I’m glad for that because even after reading the entire book I had significant difficulty implementing the six thinking hats method in a discussion. Even though the entire book is based around a relatively simple concept, it’s an incredible concept and it’s a concept that’s incredibly difficult to fully understand after reading just the first chapter. Additionally, that 10% each chapter that wasn’t a reiteration of previous concepts like the purpose of a certain hat, was information that was very insightful and very useful.
Like any skill worth learning, the six thinking hats method needs not only to be read about but also to be practiced to be most useful. Really meaningful things can come out of reading this book but only if you do more than just read it. The book includes short examples of how each hat should be used on almost every page. However, apart from a few pages near the beginning of the book and mention under the blue hat section, there are no simple and precise guidelines on how to tackle an entire conversation using this method. De Bono’s explanation for this is that there are no simple and precise guidelines for how to use this method because the best method is the one that is developed on an individual basis. When attempting to put this in practice however, I found this to be very difficult. In practice I wasn’t sure when to use what hat or whether I was really using the hat I thought I was. Despite this, I’m confident that with a little more practice I will have adopted a method of thinking that really is superior to the one I had before reading The Six Thinking Hats. The difficulty in implementing the six thinking hats method in itself goes lengths to show that it is a meaningful method that is worth reading a book about. There is no doubt that De Bono is one of the greatest minds of our time and that even if you consider yourself an organized and intelligent thinker, reading The Six Thinking Hats will give you a more powerful and effective mind.

If you want to find a way to make smart decisions without taking too much time
By Andrea Lopez
If you want to find a way to make smart decisions without taking too much time, then this book is for you. “Six Thinking Hats” is written by Edward De Bono. He makes a comparison between critical and lateral thinking. As children, we are taught to do critical thinking. We have a problem, we find a solution, and then we spend time arguing why our solution is correct. This method of thinking creates arguments and that is what De Bono tries to eliminate. He came up with the concept of the six thinking hats in order to help people think better. With the six thinking hats, people are able to solve problems without causing arguments. Each hat is represented with different colors and each one has their own meaning. The book is, in a way, divided by the different hats. At the beginning of each section, he explains what the hat represents and he gives examples of how the hat is or can be used. At the end of the “section”, De Bono gives a good summary of the hat. This makes it easy for the reader to clear up misunderstandings that they may have had in the beginning. Also, the concept of the six thinking hats is explained well. Having different colors for each hat is easy to remember what each hat represents and the concept is easy to understand. It may take some time for people to get used to using the six thinking hats but once they get used to the method, their life will become easier. People are able to come up with solutions faster using this method compared to using critical thinking. Using the Six Thinking Hats may also provide better solutions to problems because they will go over different alternatives and the best one will be the final solution to be chosen. This method of thinking allows everyone to participate and they all see each others perspectives on an issue so it is easier to decrease arguments. De Bono explains that there are two purposes for the Six Thinking Hats. The first purpose is to simplify thinking. Focusing on one part of the problem at a time becomes less overwhelming for people. The second purpose is to allow a switch in thinking. Every person has the opportunity to switch their hats so they can see the different sides of their problem. This book can help a business or a group of people improve their communication, increase their creativity, and make better decisions. Overall, this is a book worth buying. The book is easy to read and it is also very educational.

Improving the way we think
By Daniel
If you look at the human history, everything that is manmade comes from the way we think and communicate. We all have our own unique perspectives on how we view the world and many times, there are conflicts because we tend put our egos first before anything else. "Six Thinking Hats" by Edward De Bono can teach you how to put your egos aside and help you utilize his six thinking hats. This strategy will help you in many situations, especially when you are working as a group or organization because it is about efficient communication and effective decision-making. There are six different colored hats and each hat serves a purpose and reasoning. Let us say that you are in a meeting with a group of people with a same goal. Assuming that everyone had a different strategy of achieving that goal, there can be some conflicts due to their ideas. This is where the six thinking hats come in to play. The White Hat can be used when you define what information can be obtained and what is needed. The Green Hat represents creative thinking and sharing those unique ideas with each other. This is where the Yellow Hat and the Black Hat comes in handy. The Yellow Hat shows the positives and optimisms of each idea that is presented and the Black Hat lists all the negatives and skepticisms about the same ideas. After going through the pros and cons, you ask you group about how they feel about each idea by wearing the Red Hat, in which, represents feelings and emotions. To finalize the meeting with one strategy that is in the best interest of the whole group, you wear the Blue Hat, where you come to a decision after going through the process. I highly recommend that you read this book because using these thinking hats will benefit you in your personal and professional lives in terms of communication and decision-making.

Review
"Skiena and Revilla's new book 'Programming Challenges: The Programming Contest Training Manual' is just the ticket for those interested in a jumpstart to the world of contest programming. With special emphasis on the international ACM collegiate contests, the book's best feature is each chapter's pithy introduction that demystifies a particular scheme or algorithmic approach. The ensemble of these explications coupled with the contest strategy guidelines in the appendix can enable a novice to enhance contest results dramatically in a short time simply by solving the suggested exercises in each chapter. Even contest veterans are likely to be able to find a nugget or two in the explanations and strategies. "Presented in a logical order (contest programming has over a dozen different primary attacks), the book guides readers not only through the techniques and algorithms required but also through a huge set of problems that can be used for training. Solutions can be submitted to Valladolid University's online trainer for quick feedback and reinforcement. "If you're the sort who likes to have a single volume that covers the vast majority of a field, you'll love Skiena and Revilla's new tome." --Rob Kolstad, Ph.D., Head Coach, USA Computing Olympiad

Great reference, but could be improved
By Thomas Ehardt
I do think that this book is showing its age a bit (see below), but it is still a good introduction to this world. One drawback to this book is the inclusion of so many actual problems from the archive. The fact that they are actual problems prevents the author from providing a solution, which would be very helpful.

I do realize that this book is meant to be used as a course text, so including solutions for all problems is not ideal, but having one or two non-UVA problems that could be dissected would be great.

Now as to how the book shows its age, I think the complete omission of unit testing is a real detriment to the book - in all cases, problem statements include sample input and output. Adding tests up front to ensure that at least the sample cases are always passed really helps to keep things on track when coming up with a solution to a problem.

Don't get me wrong - these are minor things that do not take away from the content of the book. This book (and/or a course based on it) should be required for all CS undergrads!

Excellent book - several caveats
By David Bock
First, let me get the caveats out of the way:

1) 'Contest' code like this does not teach nor encourage many of the concepts desirable for large system development. The point is not to have code that is extensible, maintainable, well designed, etc... although there are some good points (see below).

2) This book does not try to 'teach' concepts. That is not the point either (see below).

While the book is not 'teaching', it does set a bunch of interesting playing fields in which people can explore, discover, and learn on their own. In this regard, this book is excellent. I am considering using it to lead a study group at work for this reason.

While it is not promoting the development of many of the desirable skills I think develops generally need more of, it is promoting the use of requirements, detailed design, and acceptance tests... this is how the projects are specified and graded.

Yes, I said graded. This is a really cool feature of the book - there is a website where your solutions can be submitted, and a 'robot' will run and test them, letting you know the results. The way they pull that off is pretty cool. You create an account, and it ranks how well you are doing.

If you are interesting in contest coding, if you are looking for some platform on which to lead a study group on algorithms/problem solving, or if you are the kind of person who picks up Games Magazine looking for little problems to solve, this book is for you.

As a teacher, this book fails me.
By Jason Cordes
I teach computer science at the high school level. Many of my students are hired for professional software development before they even graduate. One of the areas my students tell me they wish they could do better is contest coding. I've been doing quite a lot of research in that area, and I've read and digested several very good algorithms books (Data Structures and Algorithms in Java by Peter Drake is among the best I've read so far). Unfortunately, I have yet to find a book that adequately explains how to generate rapid solutions to contest problems. A skill that is interestingly useful in the professional environment in the role of prototyping.

WHAT I THINK ABOUT THIS BOOK:
The book falls very short of what it promises. It does contain a few selected programming problems (several of which I encountered when I competed in the ACM contests myself!), but it merely gives hints on things to think about and nothing about how to select appropriate solution algorithms. Also example code is only given for the simplest of situations. I would have preferred examples of more complex scenarios with a discussion of how to scale it back for simpler situations. Also, the book purports to be language neutral, and in their defense, although all the code is in C, there are discussions of how to use libraries from other languages. The only real use I got out of it was how to categorize problems into subsets and what those subsets look like. Essentially, the book is written to an audience who likely doesn't need the book in the first place...which is a shame.

If you are a master programmer and you just need some "nudges" in the right direction, this will be an excellent book for you.

If you are a novice, this book is all levels of wrong for you...consider getting a good data structures book (that includes graph algorithms...many of them don't!).

If you are an average to good programmer, just go to one of the contest sites and practice problems. It might also be useful to download the FREE guide to the ACM International Contests at acmsolver dot org. Also, the problems presented in this book are mostly covered in the collection of problems published as "From Baylor to Baylor".
