Taking a psychological perspective, this book examines the role of Human-Computer Interaction in the field of Information Systems research. The introductory section of the book covers the basic tenets of the HCI discipline, including how it developed and an overview of the various academic disciplines that contribute to HCI research. The second part of the book focuses on the application of HCI to Information Systems research, and reviews ways in which HCI techniques, methodologies and other research components have been used to date in the IS field. The third section of the book looks at the research areas where HCI has not yet been fully exploited in relation to IS, such as broadening user groups and user acceptance of technology. The final section of the book comprises of a set of guidelines for students to follow when undertaking an HCI based research project.

Written for professional programmers or CS students, this book skips the stuff you don't need and keeps a laser focus on the C# type system. It explains not just what value types and reference types are, but why and how they behave as they do. In particular, by learning the underappreciated benefits of value types, you'll quickly be able to optimize the performance of your applications. The book also offers numerous real-world examples and detailed explanations of targeted techniques, best practices, and common pitfalls. You'll progress from simply writing runnable programs using correct C# syntax to developing modern, idiomatic, and efficient applications that take full advantage of C#'s highly scalable type system.
