User interfaces are where people and technology meet.

User Interface Software and Technology

edited by Amy J. Ko , Jacob O. Wobbrock , Eric Whitmire

1st edition

The HCI community has a long history of innovation in user interface software and technologies, but there are few surveys or review of all of this research. This book attempts to summarize much of this knowledge, providing a living online textbook for UX designers, researchers, design-literate developers to learn from and leverage this ever-expanding body of knowledge.
