<li>Well-designed graphical user interfaces (GUIs) for business systems can greatly increase user productivity, but designing them can be difficult and time consuming. This book walks developers through the basics of good interface design, using real-world examples from systems that are proven successes.</li> <li>Galitz is an internationally recognized consultant, author, and instructor with many years of experience with information systems and user interface design.</li> <li>Written especially for developers who may be designing user interfaces for the first time, but also extremely useful for any developer involved in GUI or Web site design.</li> <li>Revised to reflect the profound enhancements in interface design, specifically how Web page design has revolutionized interface design.</li> <li>New information covers a variety of platforms, both traditional and Web-based.</li> </ul>

Software Development/User Interface Design A concise, fully illustrated introduction to the do's and don'ts of computer interface design Written especially for software developers, this guide will quickly teach you how to build effective user interfaces to computer systems and applications-even if you are designing interfaces for the first time. Wilbert O. Galitz, an internationally known expert on ergonomics and graphical user interface design, clearly explains the basic principles of interface design. He provides a step-by-step guide through the entire design process highlighted by dozens of examples of good and bad interface designs. In this valuable guide, Galitz covers the principles of human interaction with screens-for example, how the eye reacts to colors, cascading windows, and overlay and text placement. You'll receive a clear description of each screen element and how it can be used to create interfaces that really work from the user's perspective. You'll also find coverage of: * All of the latest interface trends, including WindowsR(r) 95 * Important human characteristics to address during your design process * How to select the proper kinds of windows * How to develop system menus * How to select the proper screen-based controls * How to organize and lay out windows * How to choose the most effective colors and create meaningful icons * How to provide effective feedback, guidance, and language translation Visit our Web site at: http://www.wiley.com/compbooks/

User-Interface Screen Design About this Book Just because you’re an ace developer, that doesn’t mean you know enough about screen design. User-friendly means much more than cute icons around the border of a screen. User-friendly means making the system easier to use. And because the screen is the user interface to the system, a properly designed screen translates into true user friendliness. So whether you program for mainframes, minis, or micros, User-Interface Screen Design is your practical guide to optimal screen design. This handbook covers in detail everything from tests for good design to how the human eye picks up information, from hardware and software considerations to field alignments. You’ll learn why as well as how in this clearly written, detailed examination of how to make CRT displays readable and easy to use.
