Descriptions Skip Intro: Flash Usability and Interface Design: Flash Interface Design and Usability (Voices (New Riders)) for Free
Skip Intro: Macromedia Flash Usability and Interface Design is a book for Flash designer/programmers who want to make interfaces that people can actually use, rather than just stare at open-mouthed. It's a retort to usabilty gurus--most notably Jakob Nielsen--who have said that Flash is a bad thing for the Web because it gets in the way of clear presentation of information--or usability.
Skip Intro isn't a philosophical monologue, but neither is it an ActionScript manual, instead it shows you how to build sites and applications founded on useability principles using case studies and programming examples. The first chapter takes a look at what's wrong with so much Flash design and how to avoid making the same mistakes, followed by a "Basic Training" chapter which mostly offers some useful advice on debugging.
There are three sections dealing with the particular usability issues encountered in designing a digital art gallery site, an e-commerce site and a software development company site. The case study identifies the client's aims and a typical user profile is provided, these are used as the basis for a set of specific design goals which are implemented in the ensuing chapters.
The specific goals for the gallery site, for example are "Loading awareness", "Controlling the situation", "Keeping things in context", and "A smarter cursor". A chapter is devoted to developing specific interface elements--a preloader, gesture-driven scrolling list, movable contextual menu and custom cursor component--to achieve those goals.
Skip Intro is one of those rare books that tell you not just how, but why you should adopt a particular approach to Flash design and programming. --Ken McMahon, Good Books To Read 2016 .
