Hi, Does anyone know of a book/ebook/web about designing interfaces. I know for a funy web site (pretty old) about some mistakes at interface design (worth looking, at least it's funy) http://digilander.libero.it/chiediloapippo/Engineering/iarchitect/shame.htm Also, is there some resource available about proper terminlology in IT (if such thing exists), for example when writing Help files/manuals? I found myself naming things very different: KB, KByte, Kilobyte.... -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic Back to top C.R.

Too bad they stopped updating the "User Interface Hall of Shame" site some time ago; I liked it! These days, I like to go to http://www.thisisbroken.com/ for examples of bad computer (and real-world) user interfaces. For user interface documentation, I recommend "Microsoft Manual Of Style for Technical Publications": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0735617465 I also like "Science and Technical Writing": http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0415925517 Back to top Vladimir Stefanovic Guest Posted: Fri Mar 25, 2005 8:30 pm    Post subject: Re: Designing interfaces, Terminology, ... Thanks for the info about books, I'll try to get them. Yes, "User Interface Hall of Shame" was the fine place. -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic "C.R.
