Many of the references from Front Panel are listed here, with a short review. I have divided the books into three categories: Usability and User Interface Design Programming Miscellaneous Usability Designing for Small Screens by Studio 7.5 Ava Publishing SA, 2005. This book is lavishly illustrated with sparse text, and often feels more like reading a magazine than a book. The coverage of usability principles is not in-depth. However this book has one huge strength. The Humane Interface by Jef Raskin Adison-Wesley, 2001. The Humane Interface is an excellent book by the inventor of the mouse and the creator of much of the macintosh interface. The book is made up of two halves. The second phase of the book presents a number of proposed improvements to the conventional desktop. Designing Visual interfaces by Kevin Mullet and Darrell Sano. SunSoft Press., Mountain View, CA, 1995. Sams, Indianapolis, Indiana, 1999.
netweek PanelSoft Marketing Week Embedded Gurus Analogous Electrical and Mechanical Systems Contents Background It is possible to make electrical and mechanical systems using analogs. An analogous electrical and mechanical system will have differential equations of the same form. There are two analogs that are used to go between electrical and mechanical systems. The analogous quantities are given below. Key Concept: Analogous Quantities To see the analogies more clearly, examine the following table that shows the constitutive relationships for the various analogous quantities. Converting Between Systems Electrical to Mechanical 1 (Force-Current). The important relationship when converting from a circuit to the Mechanical 1 analog is that between Kirchoff's Current Law and D'Alemberts Law (with inertial forces included). One deficiency in this analogy is that it only works easily for capacitors that are grounded. To apply this analogy, every node in the electrical circuit becomes a point in the mechanical system.

Electronics as a hobby With the current trend in miniaturization and mass production, electronics hobbyist's numbers are in a free fall since the 70's. Also, the hobby electronics market was so slow in the recent years, that Radio Shack has dropped almost all of its electronics project books.
