Hoe je IT-systemen bouwt, vind je in technische handboeken terug. Hoe je verantwoorde IT-systemen bouwt staat daar niet in. Er zijn weinig of geen praktische handreikingen voor de ontwerpers die onbedoeld systemen bouwen die een ongewenste werking hebben, zoals het beperken en uitsluiten van mensen, of het schenden van privacy. Wel zijn er wettelijke regels en ethische kaders, zoals transparantie, inclusief en niet-discriminerend.

In de afgelopen veertig jaar zijn computers overal in de fysi...

The classic guide to how computers work, updated with new chapters and interactive graphics

"For me, Code was a revelation. It was the first book about programming that spoke to me. It started with a story, and it built up, layer by layer, analogy by analogy, until I understood not just the Code, but the System. Code is a book that is as much about Systems Thinking and abstractions as it is about code and programming. Code teaches us how many unseen layers there are between the computer syst...

From the moment it was published almost ten years ago, Elements of User Experience became a vital reference for web and interaction designers the world over, and has come to define the core principles of the practice. Now, in this updated, expanded, and full-color new edition, Jesse James Garrett has refined his thinking about the Web, going beyond the desktop to include information that also applies to the sudden proliferation of mobile devices and applications.

Successful interact...

Developers, take note: databases aren't just for the IS group any more. You can build database-backed applications for the desktop, Web, embedded systems, or operating systems without linking to heavy-duty client-server databases such as Oracle and MySQL. This book shows how you to use SQLite, a small and lightweight database that you can build right into your application during development. Applications that handle data have an enormous advantage today, and with SQLite, you'll discover how t...

Processing opened up the world of programming to artists, designers, educators, and beginners. This short book gently introduces the core concepts of computer programming and working with Processing.
