The weblog of Michael Zehrer

My delicious links for August 2nd through August 8th:

  • Read It: Search User Interfaces – This book outlines the human side of the information seeking process, and focuses on the aspects of this process that can best be supported by the user interface. It describes the methods behind user interface design generally, and search interface design in particular, with an emphasis on how best to evaluate search interfaces. It discusses research results and current practices surrounding user interfaces for query specification, display of retrieval results, grouping retrieval results, navigation of information collections, query reformulation, search personalization, and the broader tasks of sensemaking and text analysis. Much of the discussion pertains to Web search engines, but the book also covers the special considerations surrounding search of other information collections. The chapters are elaborated on in the following paragraphs.
  • Google App Engine Articles – Google App Engine – Google Code – This series of articles provides an overview of best practices on how to design your application to scale. This includes an in-depth discussion on when and how to use the Memcache service, mitigating datastore contention by sharding oft-written entities, and tips for minimizing the amount of processing per request.
