Who Knows What's Best?
(Does
IBM?)
IBM has developed extensive usability resources on
the Web. These resources will be referenced numerous times throughout these
lessons, as well as resources from other software development companies. All
references are offered as examples of how things could be done, not how things
should be done.
Lesson 20 will direct you to a selection of
additional usability materials that are available on the Web as PDF downloads
or
as html files.
