Books about GUI

+ + +

This is not a comprehensive list of books, there are many other +books worth buying. Here we mention just a few GUI/UI books that don't +gather dust in our shelves. +

C++ GUI Programming with TQt 3 by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark +Summerfield, ISBN 0-13-124072-2. This is the Official TQt book written +by two veteran Trolls. +(Read more about it or buy it.) +

The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman, +ISBN 0-38526774-6, is one of the classics of human interface design. +Norman shows how badly something as simple as a kitchen stove can be +designed, and everyone should read it who will design a dialog box, +write an error message, or design just about anything else humans are +supposed to use. +(Read more or buy it.) +

+GUI Design Handbook by Susan Fowler, ISBN 0-07-059274-8, is an +alphabetical dictionary of widgets and other user interface elements, +with comprehensive coverage of each. Each chapter covers one widget +or other element, contains the most important recommendation from the +Macintosh, Windows and Motif style guides, notes about common +problems, comparison with other widgets that can serve some of the +same roles as this one, etc. +

(Read more or buy it.) +

Macintosh Human Interface Guidelines, second edition, ISBN +0-201-62216-5, is worth buying for the don'ts alone. Even +though you're not writing Macintosh software, avoiding most of what it +advises against will produce more easily comprehensible software. +Doing what it tells you to do helps, too. +(Read more or buy it.) +

This book is now available +on the web and there is a +Mac +OS 8 addendum. +

The Microsoft Windows User Experience, ISBN 1-55615-679-0, +is Microsoft's look and feel Bible. Indispensable for everyone who +has customers that worship Microsoft, and it's tquite good, too. +(Read more or buy it.) +

Microsoft's guidelines are often available on the web, but have +occasionally been hidden in an impenetrable maze of javascript. +Try and see. +

The Icon Book by William Horton, ISBN 0-471-59900-X, is a +perhaps the only thorough coverage of icons and icon use in software. +In order for icons to be successful, people must be able to do four +things with them: decode, recognize, find and activate them. This +book explains these goals from scratch and how to reach them, both +with single icons and icon families. Some 500 examples are scattered +throughout the text, generally in groups of four or five. +(Read more or buy it.) +
