Title: The Humane Interface: New Directions for Designing Interactive Systems Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: Jef Raskin Rating: 5/5 The chapter on GOMS and metrics is worth the price of admission. This distillation is very valuable. It's a simple fact that to measure and observe something is to improve it. To be able to measure at least some aspects of a particular user interface design against another and against an absolute best case is a powerful tool. While I am somewhat embarrassed to not have heard of these techniques before, I can tell from most user interfaces on the market that I am in good company.

Title: Unified Modeling Language Reference Manual, The (2nd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) Publisher: Addison-Wesley Professional Authors: James Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, Grady Booch Rating: 5/5 This book is a comprehensive, well-written reference that stays by my side whenever I'm modeling. The accompanying CD-Rom has the book's text stored as a PDF file and is arguably even more useful because it is hyperlinked. A few others reviewers disagree, but their complaints suggest a misunderstanding of the book's intent. This book is a "Reference Manual." It is not a tutorial and does not cover tangental topics (like good/bad OOAD practices). Think of it as a UML encyclopedia. If you want a concise description of every UML diagram and notation then this is the book you want.
