Someone, please answer me: Who are the designers of Microsoft's interaction?

My life with computers began with the windows and I have done everything to defend it, but I burning my movie with some things that appear in it.

First: Every action asks for confirmation to the user.

What does that mean?

Microsoft is the freeing of any damage that may occur because the action was confirmed by the user, the default happened by misuse of the system. I do not know if it would be a good way to treat those who paid for their products.

I look for solution to everything, just finding a way to stop this, but the novice user, who does not have much experience with software that does not read all the screens, which you click on links to MSN, is not the slightest idea how to enhance your experience with the use of software.

Second: no off button off.

Everyone is familiar with this icon (circle with a cut on the top) and the graphics off. Is it on your phone, on television, on DVD, and even in the earlier version of windows.

Now that the designers thought raios Interaction of Microsoft to change an icon typically off to put the computer in a state of waiting?

Until they put the computer to hibernate was one thing, after all, save energy and to turn off the computer at this time of environmental responsibility which we live is totally acceptable. Now in standby does not turn off the computer, staying connected processor, cooler processor, memory, keyboard and mouse inputs, saving as much as it does not hibernate.

But the economy is not the case in this post, what intrigued me was the icon. My grandma no idea of what a "session in memory," she just wants to turn off the computer is equal to the black and white TV that she loves . Press the button and forget.

I do not know if this was resolved in Service Pack 1 for Vista. It is increasingly difficult to get excuses for the mistakes of fools Microsoft. In XP, still not been corrected the spelling error of orography the translation into Portuguese of Brazil. We will wait for SP3 or migrate to some free software of life, or perhaps a MAC OS would not be the solution of my problems?

I participated in Earth Hour 2008!

It is an incredible feeling, to participate in something that has many people participating at the same time. Not to mention that saved a graninha off the PC, the lights and shut the engine of motoca

But I did and what?

I was chatting with two friends (Andrews Medina and Junior) and decided to see the girls who passed by on the sidewalk in front of the mall.

I have to clarify one thing before you take someone at home: The Andrews just talked, not because the girls looked to be married, a man correct.

All because the message Andrews, but if you want I tell the truth. p

But as the need is greater, after the 21:00 (time of Brasilia) back to the front of the PC.

The next year is over!

Like Phoenix, revives a series of reviews of books I ever read. It took the post on the books and now has accumulated many revisions. Gradually I will write about other books.

Steve Krug, note that name. Author of the book translated: Do not make me think! In the original English: Do not make me think! for sure is the best writer that I could already read. I had the opportunity to read both the original and translated as the two are very good, the same sense of humor of the story is also in the original translation.

I do not think it is a book that already at the outset gives the message. Attention developers of systems and sites, not killing my brain trying to find the information that is hidden in the maze crazy.

I thought it was good to read the book.

Everything in this book is for improving user satisfaction, which is their client. Steve gave the hole, but all with good humor. Bold, created by laws of airworthiness that applied, will give direction and freedom of choice for those who are using your system or site.

And for the site nagevação be a pleasurable and not a torture, it offers hints of Architecture of Information as basic texts, simple, going straight to the point. The omission of unnecessary palavrs is the key.

Tá difficult for sailing, will leave a trail to follow the user, the bread crumbs (breadcrumbs), tell you where he is (a street sign).

Without doubt the best book I read in 2007.

Title: Do not make me think!
Author: Steve Krug
Year: 2001

Status: Approved with praise - will head to the bed.

Despite talk of my life for everyone, I believe not yet talked about my employment situation.

This week was terminated my contract with UNITE (Union of the Higher Schools of Rondonopolis) and I'm back to good negotiations on the labor market.

This time I spent in UNIR was very pleasant and more dynamic, I had the opportunity to work on different branches of the area of Information Technology. Started in infrastructure, all that history of laboratories and servers, cabling and even wireless network. Some time later I was informed that should give support to users.

During the graduation, when I heard of teachers and programmers that users were beings from another world, they found fault in everything and that users should be exterminated. Working closely with the users did I leave everything I have heard about them. They are normal people who just want to work and do not measure efforts to learn.

Was defending users have learned something that changed my life. Usability. That was the word I spoke more, then learned to differentiate usability for accessibility, navigability, ergonomics and even design. It was there that once again the dynamic of life brought me a new opportunity.

I was as effective WebMaster. I found a little outdated for the current period, but the staff of the HR is not the fault of activity is not yet settled in the CTPS (portfolio of work) is registered Systems Programmer. Well, working as WebMaster (Web factotum-any-thing), become a site that was a jumble of tables, at a site targeted by the W3C web standards. And little by little I could show that the site was a medium much more cheaply and that was available and unusable, so the content of the site was growing and had to start the game from the Information Architect and all that parafernalha of wireframes, sitemaps, was necessary.

And the only site that was informative, now turned into a portal to meet all sites independent of the courses offered by colleges Integrated Rondonopolis, soon came to the Center Stage, site of the Science Shows, forum, webmail, the Student Portal, the Portal Professor and many other systems and sites that make the experience of WebMaster much more complex. As the team was very small, I could not define what was my profession, it was there that I began to say that I am a web anything. Only there was not enough time to develop the site of the Department of Technology who was a dream.

I had to leave the house, and during the past 3 months I began to train someone who could continue my work if one day I was leaving. I hope I have left a good lesson on web development, information architecture, graphic design, interaction design and planning of projects for internet.

Of the many friends who did not forget this period and stay in touch forever.

It was good long while and I am eager to know what projects and challenges awaiting me.

22/03 Day began in the course of Python UFMT of Rondonopolis taught by guru Andrews Medina.

This course of Python came in handy for the southern state of Mato Grosso. The labor, which is formed here in the area of programming is much weakened by the level of teachers in institutions of higher education places. The UFMT Rondonopolis of thought further, broke paradigms to bring the local academic community, a free course taught by someone qualified and experienced.

About the course:

The course is a basic course on programming computers to devices using the language Python which was developed in the way of the needs of modern programming.

The principle a basic course, but the progress of the course, Professor Andrews Medina reported in casual conversation in the interval, which is still well advanced content can be seen as development of games (PyGames) and a framework for web development (Django) .

About the teacher:

I know the Andrews Medina since the time of the IRC, then went to meet him personally in the classes of computer science. And since when has promised success.

Today is moderator and active member of the list of Python in Brazil, Professor of Computer Science and Information Systems in a particular college and has worked on many projects in Brazil the outside, including the site of the Brazilian Society of Diabetes.

Moral of the story:

Someone might ask what someone in the area of the Information Architecture design that tends to want interaction with programming in Python. The objective is: The more knowledge better. I need to learn the side of the programmer not to promise miracle solutions in projects by insignificant amounts. It is very important to value the work of the programmer. Okay, okay, I have training in computer science, with program effectiveness in at least 6 different languages, I know about 4 database, but nothing prevents me to know another language.

Working with diverse teams, requires knowledge heterogeneous. If the manager says that the system of web development team will work with Python language, I do know at least the inclusions (includes) the dynamic within the static code (HTML).
