"Developing User Interfaces" is targeted at the programmer who will actually implement, rather than design, the user-interface. Useful to programmers using any language--no particular windowing system or toolkit is presumed, examples are drawn from a variety of commercial systems, and code examples are presented in pseudo-code. The basic concepts of traditional computer graphics such as drawing and 3D modeling are covered for readers without a computer graphics background.

Most programmers' fear of user interface (UI) programming comes from their fear of doing UI design. They think that UI design is like graphic design—the mysterious process by which creative, latte-drinking, all-black-wearing people produce cool-looking, artistic pieces. Most programmers see themselves as analytic, logical thinkers instead—strong at reasoning, weak on artistic judgment, and incapable of doing UI design. In this brilliantly readable book, author Joel Spolsky proposes simple, logical rules that can be applied without any artistic talent to improve any user interface, from traditional GUI applications to websites to consumer electronics. Spolsky's primary axiom, the importance of bringing the program model in line with the user model, is both rational and simple. In a fun and entertaining way, Spolky makes user interface design easy for programmers to grasp. After reading User Interface Design for Programmers, you'll know how to design interfaces with the user in mind. You'll learn the important principles that underlie all good UI design, and you'll learn how to perform usability testing that works.

This is both the first authoritative treatment of OOUi and a book which will help designers, developers, analysts, and many others understand and apply object-oriented analysis to user interfaces. Collins delivers a single conceptual model to guide both external and internal design of the user interface. A set of figures, examples, and case studies illustrates the development of new applications and functions & --both stand-alone and integrated & --with existing environments. Throughout, the methodology is grounded in object-oriented principles that are consistent with other object-oriented methodologies for system and database design.

This book focuses on the new approaches that may allow the next generation of computer programming languages to better support the creation of user interface software. It is of interest to creators of toolkits and people creating end-user applications that want to provide end-user customization.
