Why Software Sucks




DavidPlatt75x105.jpgAuthor / programmer David S. Platt (pictured) talks with Keith Shaw about his book, "Why Software Sucks ... and what you can do about it". Platt and Shaw discuss:

* Why software developers often don't think about user interface design;

* Why marketing and business people often make things worse;

* Good, bad and ugly Web sites and blog designs;

* Why Apple often gets a free ride for its software design, while Microsoft gets treated as the enemy.

If you've ever wondered why you're allowed to move the menu bar in Microsoft Word, tune in to this entertaining, and somewhat humorous look at the world of bad software design (23:14).
