Hi Mark,
I think the Buxton book, even on its third reading, is probably more
important than any other design book I have read in the two years
since grad school.

Hi -
I'm new to this group, so pardon my intrusion. I hope this is the
right place to ask - I have a comment to toss in and and question;
Interesting thread on sketching. A book I really like about
sketching UE stuff which applies to some interaction design issues
is a book by Bill Buxton called "Sketching User
Experiences" (Morgan Kaufmann). In the book he discussed
different ways of doing this, even sometimes on planes of glass
viewable from two sides then. The book got me so interested in
sketching, that I've thought about taking a sketching class at a
local community college. My old engineering drafting methods are
just too perfectionistic and slow. There are also a lot of great
ideas in the books by Edward Tufte.
My question is for a recommendation on a good book on interaction
design. I already have The Essentials of Interaction Design by
Cooper/Reimann, was looking for other recommendations. Web
design types are plentiful, but also interested in other modalities.
thanks much,
'mark

I'm still trying to determine which of the 3 I like best for
wireframing. Just started trying out Fireworks CS3 but have used
Smartdraw forever and it seems to be my go to app because of
familiarity. I would love to try Axure, but the license is a little
steep.
