|
||||
\brief Some recommended books about GUI design.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a comprehensive list -- there are many other books worth
|
||||
buying. Here we mention just a few user interface books that don't
|
||||
gather dust on our shelves.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0132354160/ref=ase_trolltech/}{C++
|
||||
GUI Programming with Qt 4, Second Edition}}
|
||||
by Jasmin Blanchette and Mark
|
||||
Summerfield, ISBN 0-13-235416-0. This is the official Qt book written
|
||||
by two veteran Qt Developers. The first edition, which is based on Qt 4.1, is
|
||||
\l{http://www.qtrac.eu/C++-GUI-Programming-with-Qt-4-1st-ed.zip}{available for free online}.
|
||||
The second edition, based on Qt 4.3, is
|
||||
\l{http://www.informit.com/store/product.aspx?isbn=0132354160}{available for purchase as an eBook}.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0385267746/trolltech/t}{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.

|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0070592748/trolltech/t}{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.
|
||||
|
||||
\target Design Patterns
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201633612/103-8144203-3273444}
|
||||
{Design Patterns - Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software}}
|
||||
by Gamma, Helm, Johnson, and Vlissides, ISBN 0-201-63361-2, provides
|
||||
more information on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) paradigm, explaining
|
||||
MVC and its sub-patterns in detail.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0201622165/trolltech/t}{Macintosh
|
||||
Human Interface Guidelines}}, Second Edition, ISBN
|
||||
0-201-62216-5, is worth buying for the \e {don't}s alone. Even
|
||||
if 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 may also help.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047159900X/trolltech/t}{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 quite good, too.
|
||||
|
||||
\b{\l{http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/047159900X/trolltech/t}{The Icon Book}}
|
||||
by William Horton, ISBN 0-471-59900-X, is 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.
