Nick Bradbury, of FeedDemon fame, recently wrote a 7-part series titled “Simplicity Ain’t So Simple” that talks in depth about simplicity in software design. It’s a nice read for anyone who’s wondering about the complexity in today’s software and what should be done to reduce the madness and clutter.
Brew these over a cup of coffee.
Part I - Decide What to Hide
Part II - Stop Showing Off
Part III - Don’t Add Features You Can’t Support
Part IV - The Blessed Curse of Power Users
Part V - Combine Features
Part VI - Simple = Secure
Part VII - Know When to Stop
Let me know if you found it worthwhile.
