نسألكم الفاتحة والدعاء للمرحوم نائل محمد شاكر مؤسس سلسلة BookClub بالعربي و مستشار لبودكاست The Product.Live منذ اليوم الأول اللهم اجعل مساهماته و عمله في نشر علمه و خبرته العملية في ميزان حسناته علم ينتفع به الناس لا ينقطع به عمله الصالح من الدنيا ١٤ مارس ٢٠٢٤ - ٤ رمضان ١٤٤٥ —-------------------------------- آخر حلقة قام نائل شاكر بتسجيلها.. كتاب مميز يحكي قصة "مبادئ التصميم العظيم والمعنوي"، اللي شارك فيه أحد أعظم المصممين في العالم. وقال تيم براون، إن الكتاب "أكثر أهمية اليوم مما كان عليه عند نشره لأول مرة". حتى الأذكياء فينا بيحسوا بالعجز لما بنحاول نفهم نشغل لمبة الضوء أو شعلة الفرن، أو نفكر ندفع، نجر، أو ندور علي باب. الكتاب بيقول إن المشكلة مش فينا، المشكلة في تصميم المنتج اللي بيتجاهل احتياجات المستخدمين ومبادئ علم النفس الإدراكي. المشاكل بتتنوع من الضوابط غامضة ومخفية إلى العلاقات التعسفية بين الضوابط والوظائف، وعدم وجود ردود فعل أو مساعدة أخرى ومطالب غير معقولة بالحفظ. الهدف من الكتاب هو توجيه المستخدم بسهولة للعمل الصحيح في الوقت المناسب، بالاستفادة من القيود وجعل الأشياء مرئية واستغلال العلاقات الطبيعية بين الوظيفة والضبط. "The Design of Everyday Things" دليل قوي على كيفية - ولماذا - تحقق بعض المنتجات رضا العملاء بينما تحبطهم الأخرى. ------------------------ One of the world's great designers shares his vision of "the fundamental principles of great and meaningful design", that's "even more relevant today than it was when first published" (Tim Brown, CEO, IDEO). Even the smartest among us can feel inept as we fail to figure out which light switch or oven burner to turn on, or whether to push, pull, or slide a door. The fault, argues this ingenious -- even liberating -- book, lies not in ourselves, but in product design that ignores the needs of users and the principles of cognitive psychology. The problems range from ambiguous and hidden controls to arbitrary relationships between controls and functions, coupled with a lack of feedback or other assistance and unreasonable demands on memorization. The Design of Everyday Things shows that good, usable design is possible. The rules are simple: make things visible, exploit natural relationships that couple function and control, and make intelligent use of constraints. The goal: guide the user effortlessly to the right action on the right control at the right time. The Design of Everyday Things is a powerful primer on how -- and why -- some products satisfy customers while others only frustrate them.
