PickVidsBest GUI, HCI & interface history Videos
「GUI, HCI & interface history」下面有110部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象：入门3部，适合还没学过的人；进阶22部，适合已经懂术语的人；普通向84部，按兴趣就能看；更硬的1部，留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是演示，所以它们的共同点是先看到做成了什么，再决定要不要追细节。常出现的频道包括Computer History Museum、TheTedNelson、Colin McDonnell。目录给这个主题划的范围是：Interface history and human-computer interaction: Lisa, Macintosh, Engelbart mother of all demos, Smalltalk, Windows UI, Ribbon, Bret Victor, direct manipulation, future of interfaces.如果只看三部，就从《Bret Victor - Inventing on Principle》开始，它负责把问题讲出画面；然后看《Bret Victor The Future of Programming》，换一种讲法或例子；最后看《A Tour of the Acme Editor》，留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开，顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月，不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明，用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看，把引用当成只是拿来举例，把批评留下来对照，不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
