designing interactions.

Just got through designing interactions by Bill Moggridge. Really fantastic and insightful book into the birth and development of interaction design as a discipline. There's some really fascinating parts of the book, what I found most interesting was the Doug Engelbart section on inventing the mouse, and printers for digital photography section. The book is great and I am going to re read it and make heaps of notes because it is probably the most comprehensive book on interaction design I have seen. Its really beautifully illustrated as well especially the drawings by Bill Verplank. A must read. Also there is a lecture by Moggridge at Stanford on YouTube about the book, with excerpts from the DVD. Link below.
