You remember how it all started, right? People who were designing interfaces said, "Our scope is bigger than the interface. This stuff is dynamic. It's conversational. We are Interaction Designers!" A few years went by, and the industry started to internalize this perspective. Older terms like "interface design" and "usability" gave way to terms like "user experience" and "experience design." Around the same time, some people started calling for integrated design, an approach recognizing the interdependency of business, technology, interface, interaction, content, and so onall legitimate targets of a design approach, all necessary for making good things.As our field has evolvedthrough an ongoing cross-pollination of disciplines and practicesso too has our literature. But sometimes design rhetoric has soared a little too far above the day-to-day lives of many designers. Hyperbolic theories of design often leave designers ill-equipped to translate those theories into tactical decisions. Perhaps sensing this gap, several authors have issued new books in recent months that try to bridge the gap between modern design theory and practice.Shneiderman and Plaisant's Designing the User Interface, now in its fifth edition, aspires to be an authoritative textbook on the practice of interface design. That term may sound outmoded, but
