DOET is such a significant book it has an acronym
I really recommend the book to anyone (particularly to dev's and anyone that works on UI code). It is a bit of a textbook, it kinda seems dull initially, pages and pages are dedicated to the design of doors. It runs home the points well and is really insightful. It was a game-changing read for me, while reading it you can think about TripleA and a variety of usability improvements that could be made. It really is a first course in UX design, AFAIK introductory UX courses do use it as a text. Here is a PDF version: http://www.nixdell.com/classes/HCI-and-Design-Spring-2017/The-Design-of-Everyday-Things-Revised-and-Expanded-Edition.pdf
UX = user experience
https://www.interaction-design.org/literature/topics/ux-designUX is a very broad umbrella, it is much more than just UI, it encompasses the many topics of how a user engages with a product. It includes usability research, information architecture, UI, interaction design, and a number more topics.

Just because I'm so jazzed from the learnings in DOET, I'll also mention it also has some long sections as well on the design of VCRs and ovens (gives insights why it's bad design that makes it so the clock is difficult to change). That discussion particularly carries over to software.. Some of lessons in VCR design is to have a 1:1 mapping for buttons and their functionality, hide controls that are not used often (cough our launch screen), show controls that are used all the time, and try to show only controls that are needed.

@Captain-Crunch Atlas Shrugged? :grinning_cat_face:
UX is an odd field. Ignorance towards it creates "interesting" issues: https://www.useronboard.com/how-united-onboards-new-users/
At the risk of being too serious, if you want to learn more about the field, this is a good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tbu6G08n_Gw "Why UX is not only the Responsibility of the UX'er"

@LaFayette yo coders are cool. Coding is just like learning any language but probably easier and Ive made a few games myself on my old computer.
Anyways, rofl seriously how long do you spend at your computer making those troll images and stuff rooffllllll do you ever see the sun. Ayn Rand is for gullible obnobs that think they are smarter than others. Too bad this thread turned into another one of those type of convos like Belee's "TripleA won't run" thread
I've never played a game or been on a forum where there wasnt aliaser trolls and my messenger list is ez to show whos aliaser trolling - so far I got an angry message from some Alkezr mad I told him to ease up on Redrum, some Jazan sounded nerdy talkin about all the other maps, Prastle wanting me to download a 32bit Lobby, and Ubernaut who doesnt like being called anal and said his girlfriend loves Captain Crunch thats if he really has a girlfriend ofcourse lol
Like I always say on every game or forum
SO EZ

10/10 I have used well over 5 different programming languages, within the past 5 years, but still struggle to get the accents on my Spanish writings right ^^
