Onderwerp: [IxDA Discuss] form and behavior documentation
 
In response to my comment ... 
 
: Don't I know it. I've long dreamed of doing a spec design document and
: publishing it as a book, to show the world the way these things ought
to
: look. But that's a BIG project.
 
... Peter Boersma asks ...
 
: Like this: Communicating Design: Developing Web Site  
: Documentation for Design and Planning ?
 
And the answer is, not quite, no.
 
That book, being focused on web design, presumably devotes significant
attention to page templates and information architecture. Those are a
different class of problem from what I'm interested in. I'm more
concerned with the complex behaviors of interaction design --- stuff
like desktop apps, consumer devices, medical/scientific instruments, and
web-based tools (rather than web sites, if you see the distinction).
 
More significantly, the fantasy book I don't really have time to do
wouldn't be a book about interaction design documentation. It would be a
book of interaction design documentation. It would describe the design
of a specific product in detail, just like I do for clients.
 
As I say, that's a big project. Unfortunately, my attention is too much
devoted to client work for me to also take the time for this.
