Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This is a great book, not just in terms of the subject, which integrates usability concepts with an application framework, but in terms of clarity and organization. ... The main goal is to explain how to develop complex applications with a rich and efficient user experience. ... Each chapter has an introduction to the topic discussed, and then proceeds to tackle the code. ... I recommend this book as a tutorial for new developers, and as a companion for experienced developers." (Jose M. Ramirez, ACM Computing Reviews, September, 2008)
