Jakob Nielsen – författare

In the years since Jakob Nielsen''s classic collection on interface consistency first appeared, much has changed, and much has stayed the same. On the one hand, there''s been exponential growth in the opportunities for following or disregarding the principles of interface consistency-more computers, more applications, more users, and of course the vast expanse of the Web. On the other, there are the principles themselves, as persistent and as valuable as ever. In these contributed chapters, you''ll find details on many methods for seeking and enforcing consistency, along with bottom-line analyses of its benefits and some warnings about its possible dangers. Most of what you''ll learn applies equally to hardware and software development, and all of it holds real benefits for both your organization and your users.- Begins with a new preface by the collection''s distinguished editor- Details a variety of methods for attaining interface consistency, including central control, user definitions, exemplary applications, shared code, and model analysis- Presents a cost-benefits analysis of organizational efforts to promote and achieve consistency- Examines and appraises the dimensions of consistency-consistency within an application, across a family of applications, and beyond- Makes the case for some unexpected benefits of interface consistency while helping you avoid the risks it can sometimes entail- Considers the consistency of interface elements other than screen design- Includes case studies of major corporations that have instituted programs to ensure the consistency of their products

How do we create a satisfactory user experience when limited to a small device? This new guide focuses on usability for mobile devices, primarily smartphones and touchphones, and covers such topics as developing a mobile strategy, designing for small screens, writing for mobile, usability comparisons, and looking toward the future. The book includes 228-full color illustrations to demonstrate the points. Based on expert reviews and international studies with participants ranging from students to early technology adopters and business people using websites on a variety of mobile devices, this guide offers a complete look at the landscape for a mobile world. Author Jakob Nielsen is considered one of the world''s leading experts on Web usability. He is the author of numerous best-selling books, including Prioritizing Web Usability and the groundbreaking Designing Web Usability, which has sold more than 250,000 copies and has been translated in 22 languages.

Eyetracking Web Usability is based on one of the largest studies of eyetracking usability in existence. Best-selling author Jakob Nielsen and coauthor Kara Pernice used rigorous usability methodology and eyetracking technology to analyze 1.5 million instances where users look at Web sites to understand how the human eyes interact with design. Their findings will help designers, software developers, writers, editors, product managers, and advertisers understand what people see or don’t see, when they look, and why. With their comprehensive three-year study, the authors confirmed many known Web design conventions and the book provides additional insights on those standards. They also discovered important new user behaviors that are revealed here for the first time. Using compelling eye gaze plots and heat maps, Nielsen and Pernice guide the reader through hundreds of examples of eye movements, demonstrating why some designs work and others don’t. They also provide valuable advice for page layout, navigation menus, site elements, image selection, and advertising. This book is essential reading for anyone who is serious about doing business on the Web.

Increasing technological sophistication in many countries and the resulting larger world trade has indicated a need to pay greater attention to the international aspects of user interfaces. Many American companies are approaching a situation where half of their sales are outside the United States, and companies in smaller countries often have a much larger proportion of their sales outside their own country. This means that software sales will increasingly depend on their international usability and not just their domestic usability. Seen from a user's perspective more than half of the world's software users will be using interfaces which were originally designed in a foreign country. Usability for this large market of users will depend upon increased awareness of the issues involved in designing user interfaces for international use. As the European community aims to establish the so-called Single Market by the end of 1992, international software will become even more important in that part of the world. And as if it wasn't hard enough to design user interfaces for use in Europe, there are a further set of problems connected with user interfaces for Asia. Both of these issues are examined in depth. This is the first publication of its kind to appear on the topic of international user interfaces, and presents both general guidelines and a number of detailed case studies on the many aspects entailed. The book will be of considerable interest to project managers, lecturers, students, developers of basic software and user interface designers.

This is an introductory textbook on isometry groups of the hyperbolic plane. Interest in such groups dates back more than 120 years. Examples appear in number theory (modular groups and triangle groups), the theory of elliptic functions, and the theory of linear differential equations in the complex domain (giving rise to the alternative name Fuchsian groups).The current book is based on what became known as the famous Fenchel-Nielsen manuscript. Jakob Nielsen (1890-1959) started this project well before World War II, and his interest arose through his deep investigations on the topology of Riemann surfaces and from the fact that the fundamental group of a surface of genus greater than one is represented by such a discontinuous group. Werner Fenchel (1905-1988) joined the project later and overtook much of the preparation of the manuscript. The present book is special because of its very complete treatment of groups containing reversions and because it avoids the use of matrices to represent Moebius maps.This text is intended for students and researchers in the many areas of mathematics that involve the use of discontinuous groups.

Die Informationstechnologie im Zeitalter nach Gutenberg bedeutet neue Herausforderungen fur Autoren, Journalisten und Medienschaffende jeglicher Provenienz. Das Buch vermittelt praxisnah und beispielorientiert das grundlegende Wissen, wie Artikel, Bucher, Zeitschriften online oder offline konzipiert und realisiert werden. Dabei wird insbesondere gezeigt, wie im Internet selbst Moglichkeiten der Unterstutzung bei der Realisierung genutzt werden konnen. Die Starke des Buches liegt vor allem da, wo sich die Darstellung an die Vermittlung des Wesentlichen halt und nicht bei den Zufalligkeiten konkreter Autorensysteme haften bleibt. Das Buch bleibt auf seine Weise aktuell und grundlegend gleichermassen. Rezension in "Die Zeit im Buch" 51.Jg., 1/97, S. 15 1997 (...)

Att brygga egen öl eller cider är kul och framför allt blir det väldigt gott. Köksbryggning är en variant av traditionell hembryggning men på en nivå som de flesta klarar av och kan ha glädje av utan förkunskaper eller ett superintresse för ämnet.

En köksbryggare brygger mindre volymer, mellan 4 och 10 liter och den mindre volymen gör att det går fint att använda den utrustning man redan har i sitt kök. De flesta har en fem liters kastrull, en kökssil, en slev och en tratt. Detta är, utöver jäsutrustning, allt du behöver för att komma igång. Köksbryggning handlar även mycket om skaparglädje. Man sysslar inte med köksbryggning för att komma ner i pris per flaska. Nej, den riktiga anledningen till varför man ställer sig och brygger sin egen öl handlar om att få utlopp för sin kreativitet och känslan av att ha skapat en riktig öl. Man kanske till och med hittar på ett namn och gör en egen etikett till ölen.

I boken Köksbryggning hittar du en lättsam guide till grunderna inom ölbryggning och 20 olika öl- och ciderrecept för dig att brygga.
