(Interactive software applications must often operate on m...)
Interactive software applications must often operate on multiple computer platforms. These platforms today generally feature graphical user interfaces (GUIs)-interfaces that are similar in purpose on each platform, but that differ, sometimes obviously, occasionally subtly, in their details. The software developer must be aware of these similarities and differences to ensure the consistency of any given application from one platform to another. This handook is the first comprehensive source for comparative information about the principal GUIs currently available. With detailed comparison of the features, capabilities, and strengths of these GUIs, the book is a practical reference for user interface design. In clearly presenting the terminology, appearance, interaction and common behavior of each GUI, it condenses into a single convenient volume the details you need for your applications to operate with a consistent look and feel across multiple platforms. Other features include design guidelines for portability and migration, and recommendations for handling conflicting or incomplete style guides.The book also sets the foundation for designing an object-oriented user interface, incorporating new technologies such as multimedia and pen interface. 0201575922B04062001

This book provides practical advice on how to use computer graphics to communicate information effectively. Whether the communication medium is a printed piece of paper or a computer screen, whether the information is contained in text, charts, maps, diagrams, or other illustrations, there are clear graphic- design rules governing good visual display or presentation. The author has more than 20 years of experience refining and explaining these rules as they apply to hardware, software, and every manner of computer application. This book brings together in one place the invaluable range of people who design or use computer systems. 0201543648B04062001
