Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the 1980's, new developments and commercial offerings will radically change the relationship of the computer and those who wish to use it. The emphasis today is on the needs of the user, on systems that are easier to learn, easier to use, more responsive, and more solution-oriented. Modern end-user facilities allow almost anyone to interact directly with the computer. This book is intended for applications programmers and system analysts who design and implement systems for users who have no expertise in computing. It describes trends and techniques that enable nonexperts to interact easily with computerized systems and use them to become more productive. The papers appearing here were selected because they are the best available descriptions of what end-user facilities will be like for the remainder of this decade.
