15 Free Ebooks about User Experience and Interface Design » paul olyslager
I have collected 15 free ebooks about UX and interface design, including some best selling books which are definitely worth reading. Not only are these free ebooks pretty good reads but perhaps I could save a small rainforest as well. Please let me know if you have read other great free ebooks lately. Search User Interfaces by Marti A. If you want to design innovative search user interfaces, you need this book close at hand at all times. Web Style Guide by Patrick J. A style guide for the interface with real long-run value, showing us deep principles of design rather than simply fashion and technology. Designing Interfaces – Patterns for Effective Interaction Design by Jenifer Tidwell (2006) Anyone who’s serious about designing interfaces should have this book on their shelf for reference. Designing Mobile Interfaces by Steven Hoober and Eric Berkman (2011)

Sexy icon by Wolfgang Bartelme btw :) Prototypes is a Mac desktop app that Duncan Wilcox built (with some help from me) to allow you to quickly take your existing mockup images (made with Photoshop, Illustrator, a crayon etc!), and link them together to create a navigable mini-site that runs on iPhone. Some nice writeups already: No Code, No Problem. Point your phone to ptyp.es and use the PIN 1234 5678 to see an example of what it can do.

InterfacesRiches.Fr Responsive Ad Demos My previous post was about some of the business challenges surrounding responsive design and advertising. I wrote it just after reading Mark Boulton’s excellent Responsive Advertising, which was written earlier this week and which you should definitely read if you haven’t already. While I still think the business challenges are the greater obstacle, the technical challenges are interesting and beg for experimentation. Responsive HTML ad My first idea was to build an HTML ad that could shift itself into 3 different standard IAB sizes: 728×90, 300×250, and 300×50. This works in latest versions of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Opera. Responsive/Adaptive HTML ad using a JavaScript interface This one is based on the same idea but does two things differently. This lets you define your responsive campaign with some settings and then the JavaScript does the rest. This works in latest versions of Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.

Les hyperlieux comme interface relationnelle ubimedia Un précédent billet portait sur nouvel usage, le réseau social de quartier, à savoir la démarche de ma-residence-fr et le projet du Nouveau Vivre ensemble de Charles Berdugo ( lire mon billet précédent) qui fait du lieu de vie des résidents une communauté active locale matérialisée dans un réseau social digital. J'y indiquais l'importance que revêt la notion de proximité dans la compréhension des nouveaux usages de la mobilité, mais une notion de la proximité qu'il faut appréhender au delà du sédentaire et du résidentiel.L'enjeu de l'internet de proximité s'inscrit dans une approche plus globale que l'ancrage sédentaire car il doit être compris aussi sous l'angle des trajectoires entre les lieux qui matérialisent la mobilité de chacun. L'internet de proximité est à mon sens le grand virage des services digitaux qui s'opère aujourd'hui et qui va impacter la présence de marque, notamment en l'orientant sous l'angle des services locaux et glocaux (si on intègre la mobilité).
