Jef Raskin

Jef Raskin is the human-computer interface expert who began the Macintosh project for Apple Computer and is the author of The Humane Interface[?], which in large part builds on his earlier work with the Canon Cat[?].

Raskin joined Apple in January 1978 as the 31st employee. He later hired his former student Bill Atkinson to work at Apple, and began the Macintosh project.
