Task-Centered User Interface Design (full ebook)

This is a great user interface paradigm. Tasks are the only things we do on computers, we want to put them front and center instead of obscuring them inside windows and menus and buttons and toolbars.

Microsoft is showing an interest in task oriented design with the new Office control panel. It's an enormous improvement over the old interface.

I used to have a really good long essay on task oriented design someone wrote around 1995, I'll try and track it down. And if anyone ever wants to discuss an entire task oriented computer environment, email me, it's one of my favorite things to talk about.

Holy crap very useful find nickb!
