سادگي

در طراحي و ساخت محصولات نرم‌افزاري، سادگي اصلي است بسيار مهم. سادگي راه حل و طراحي معيار مهمي در انتخاب گزينه‌هاي مختلف است. به همين دليل، پيدا كردن راهي براي بازتعريف سادگي با هدفِ اعمال آن در طراحي‌ها و راه‌حلهاي مبتني بر نرم‌افزار موضوع مهمي خواهد بود. John Maeda در كتاب The Laws of Simplicity ده اصل و سه كليد براي سادگي معرفي كرده است كه مطالعه‌ي آن مفيد است. اگر منبع ديگري مي‌شناسيد لطفاً معرفي نماييد. براي اطلاعات بيشتر به اين سايت نيز مي‌توانيد مراجعه نماييد.

The Laws of Simplicity
Reduce
The simplest way to achieve simplicity is through thoughtful reduction.
Organize
Organization makes a system of many appear fewer.
Time
Savings in time feel like simplicity.
Learn
Knowledge makes everything simpler.
Differences
Simplicity and complexity need each other.
Context
What lies in the periphery of simplicity is definitely not peripheral.
Emotion
More emotions are better than less.
Trust
In simplicity we trust.
Failure
Some things can never be made simple.
The one
Simplicity is about subtracting the obvious, and adding the meaningful.

Three Keys
Away
More appears like less by simply moving it far, far away.
Open
Openness simplifies complexity.
Power
Use less, gain more.

Technology has made our lives more full, yet at the same time we’ve become uncomfortably “full”. John Maeda
