American versus Canadian airplane
factories

American versus Canadian airplane
factories 06/05/2005 11:56 PM

Picking up an airplane in Duluth, Minnesota is a bit different from my last experience picking one up in London, Ontario.  The Canadian factory didn't have a "Guns are banned from these premises" sign out front.  Another difference is that the Cirrus factory has an F-16 parked right next to it, belonging to George W. Bush's beloved Air National Guard.  This F-16 is apparently in need of some maintenance because it has been sitting out for the entire winter.  Only our government can afford to leave a $30 million airplane outside exposed to the harsh northern elements!

One thing that is more or less the same is the miserable weather.  For the morning flight today the weather was 100' overcast and 1/4 mile visibility.  I went to the Duluth Aquarium instead and then to the Richard I. Bong museum in Superior, Wisconsin.  Bong was a Wisconsin farm boy who went on to become the U.S.'s most successful P-38 fighter pilot in the Pacific War, downing more than 40 Japanese planes.  The museum staff, having noticed my coupon from Cirrus, hauled out an old movie on "how to fly your new P-38" from Lockheed circa 1942.  The product was described in the video as a "real fighting man's airplane" and a "man's airplane".  Close-to-the-ground maneuvers were described as "not likely to be a habit-forming."  The plane worked well for Bong, who survived all of his combat missions.  Sadly he was killed while test-flying a jet-powered fighter in 1945.  Major Bong was 24 years old.

Will Ajax Hurt Usability?

Will Ajax Hurt Usability? 03/29/2005 01:28 AM

I'm curious what effect Ajax will have on usability. With this technique, the unspoken nature of Web apps is changing, and apps using Ajax will likely do things that users don't expect.

When I first starting using client-side HTTP requests back in 1999 (long before the snazzy name), I did it really badly. I wrote an intranet phone directory which used background HTTP calls from the browser to retrieve the data and load it into a DIV on the interface without re-loading the page. It worked great, but if the users wanted to find another phone number, they always pressed the "Back" button...and got sent backwards, out of the phone lookup system.

Web users have a "user model" of how forms work (we discussed user models in this post). Web users are accustomed to the fact that nothing happens on a form until they hit a button called "Submit" or "Save," and that this gives them a new page, so they can usually hit "Back" to get back to their form input. I broke this user model, and the user paid the price.

With Ajax, it's easy to break the model of stateless request and response that users are subconciously aware of. You shouldn't do this lightly or you're going to get some confused users.

Here's a current example:

37 Signals' great Ta Da Lists use Ajax to "check off" items in a list. If you click the box next to an item, it's immediately removed from the list in the interface and a request is dispatched in the background to change the item's status on the server.

I understand this and it's quite slick, but what about people who don't spend as much time with this stuff as I do? I know a lot of people that look at a list of checkboxes and think, "I can check a bunch of boxes, then review my selections before finding and clicking a button called 'Submit' that's got to be around here somewhere."

This is the user model that a lot of people have for Web forms. They get to do whatever they want, and nothing counts until they press "Submit." I like Ta Da Lists, but I think 37 Signals made a mistake here. I'd be curious what feedback they've gotten about it.

Where we're going with Ajax is to allow developers to really mess with the unspoken "rules" that users have gotten used to. Ajax is great and provides a revolutionary way to do things, but I know some people will take it too far, too fast. User confusion won't be far behind.
