 ERCB: About Face
This is due partly to his talents as a writer and speaker, partly to his somewhat murky reputation as the "Father of Visual Basic," and partly to the widespread perception that he beat Microsoft at their own game, then cashed in and walked away without a scratch.
The first thirteen chapters of About Face address global issues: programmers' versus users' mental models of program operation and file systems, what Cooper refers to as program "posture," and the application's facilitation of workflow (or impedance of same).
His comments on sovereign as opposed to transient programs, the evolving role of menus in the era of toolbars, nested and tabbed dialogs, drag-and-drop, and the tendency of most commercial applications to "go stupid" without warning for unpredictable lengths of time were interesting and thought-provoking.
