It is recommended reading for anyone who wants to provide users of their software with interfaces that are intuitive and easy-to-use. The key to any successful application lies in providing an interface users not only enjoy interacting with but which also saves time, eliminates frustration, and gets the job done with a minimum of effort. Readers will discover the secrets of good interface design by learning how users behave and the expectations that users have of different types of interfaces.

- Gaining an appreciation of the differences in the "look and feel" of interfaces for a variety of systems and platforms

- Learning how to go about designing and creating the most appropriate interface for the application or website being developed

- Becoming familiar with all the different components that make up an interface and the important role that each of those components plays in communicating with users

- Understanding the business benefits that flow from good interface design such as significantly reduced support costs

- Gaining invaluable insights into how users behave, including the seven stages of human interaction with computers

- Working through case study based, in-depth analysis of each of the stages involved in designing a user interface

- Acquiring practical knowledge about the similarities and differences between designing websites and traditional desktop applications
