Software for Use - A Practical Guide to the Models and Methods of Usage-Centered Design

Obviously, this book makes a unique contribution to user interface design because of the authors' work in the development of essential use cases. More particularly, Constantine and Lockwood claim that trained usability specialists are in much too short a supply to fill demands for the foreseeable future. As a result, the authors argue "developers, the frontline troops of software, need to be empowered by better tools and techniques if they are to deliver highly usable software on restricted schedules and budgets. This book is about such methods." Frankly, I found the book to be quite informative and provocative from my perspective as a usability professional. I will leave it to "developers" out there to determine its utility for them.
